\u2018Oh, let me warn you, sisters in Jerusalem,<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>by the gazelles, yes, by all the wild deer: \u2028Don\u2019t excite love, don\u2019t stir it up,<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>until the time is ripe\u2014and you\u2019re ready\u2019 Sng.3:5<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n

Love is as strong as death. Love intoxicates and anything that intoxicates seeks to control. Love makes you do weird and crazy things so if you awaken it before time you would be in serious trouble. Is it love to wash the undergarments of a woman? If she is your wife yes, there is nothing wrong with it. Sadly, some of us cannot love our wives that freely and that is not right. I can proudly say that I have washed the undergarments of only one woman and she is my wife. I am not ashamed to say it because I did it for love and you cannot understand it. When you fall in love with your wife, you will do it -no questions asked. I don\u2019t do it anymore but sometimes I think back and I wonder what came over me? But you see, love will compel you to do strange things. And that is why the Bible says do not start it before it is time. I\u2019ll tell you the story of a young man whose parents were very poor. They practically sold all that they had to send him to the university. But he fell in love with a girl also from a poor background and dropped out of school. But he will still collect money from his parents and pay the girl\u2019s tuition. So his parents thought he was in year three, four, graduating. The girl became a graduate but the guy obviously was not. He told her not to worry he would hustle. She began to work and things changed. Then she said to him, you have done a lot for me and I really appreciate it. When a girl starts to talk along these lines, you know something is about to happen. She insisted that she cannot be sentimental about the past and she went ahead to marry someone else. What would happen to him? Do not stir it up before it is time because it makes you do crazy things. It makes you sleep with people that you will later regret that you slept with. Don\u2019t stir love up before time. When is the right time? When you are married -pure and simple. We have had cases of a man pouring acid on a girl\u2019s face just because he had stirred love up before time. And the reason is that love is as strong as death. He decided that if he cannot have her, no man will. Don\u2019t play with people\u2019s emotions, don\u2019t stir it up or you would be asking for trouble.<\/p>\n
