In Gen Chapter 2: 24-25, we read

24. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his [b:848b48a262]wife[/b:848b48a262], and they will become one flesh. 25. The man and his [b:848b48a262]wife [/b:848b48a262]were both naked, and they felt no shame.

This may be the very first verse in Bible talking about human sexuality.

Here the word, neither “woman” nor “girl” but “wife” is used to address Eve.

I think that SEXUALITY is created in us to resemble the triunity and their fellowship.
Yet, its practice is limited only within the framework of husband and wife, the family.
