abstain from sinful desires

abstain from sinful desires,
broken ways of the flesh,
remember God’s teaching,
staying true to yourself,
to the law, to God’s teaching,
holding onto what is best,
what is holy, what is righteous,
love in your marital bed…
 
love the One you are to love,
bound to that one flesh,
desiring that one only,
refusing temptation, lust,
long to hold one another,
to be bound one flesh together
long for your love only
love in your marital bed…
