The Spiritual Dimension of Sex and its Impact on Trauma

Sex is not just physical, but deeply spiritual according to Genesis. Being joined with the Lord means being one spirit with Him and with the person you have sex with. The trauma and shame associated with rape and the lasting impact of sexual abuse on children demonstrate that sex is more than just a physical act. Adultery is difficult to forgive and forget because sex has a profound impact on our emotions and relationships. Many people's deepest regrets are sexual in nature, showing that sex affects our deepest selves.
