  1. Proverbs 30:18-19 “There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yes, four which I do not understand: The way of an eagle in the air, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the midst of the sea, And the way of a man with a virgin.”

  2. “The Way of a Man with a Maiden” I. God created the attraction between man and woman. • Sarai and Rebekeh were “beautiful” (Gen. 12:11; 24:16). • Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance.” (Gen. 29:17). • Saul and David were said to be “handsome” (1 Sam. 9:2; 16:18). • Joseph was “handsome in form and appearance” (Gen. 39:6). This attraction is a part of what God has created to draw men and women towards the marriage relationship.

  3. “The Way of a Man with a Maiden” II. God established the “one flesh” relationship that is a part of marriage (Gen. 2:18-25). • This phrase refers (at least in part) to the sexual relationship (1 Cor. 6:15-20). • From the beginning this was intended for the marriage relationship. Before marriage it is “a thing which ought not to be done” (Gen. 34:1-7).

  4. “The Way of a Man with a Maiden” III. Outside of marriage it is a thing which is forbidden (Lev. 20:10; Gal. 5:19-21). • Marriage is provided to protect against fornication (1 Cor. 7:1-5). • Behavior must be guarded to avoid this temptation. “Flee sexual immorality” (1 Cor. 6:18). The young man is warned to stay far away from this sin (Prov. 7:21-27).

  5. “The Way of a Man with a Maiden” IV. Within marriage this is honorable (Heb. 13:4). • It is not only for procreation. • It is not sinful within marriage (Prov. 5:15-19). • Outside of marriage “whoever touches her shall not be innocent.” (Prov. 6:20-29). Unscriptural second marriage is “adultery” (Luke 16:18).

  6. “The Way of a Man with a Maiden” V. How should the Christian guard and preserve this beautiful part of the marriage relationship? If unmarried, commit yourself to keep yourself pure. • Don’t put yourself in dangerous situations • Make your commitment clear to your boyfriend or girlfriend • Don’t let yourself be pressured into sin.

  7. “The Way of a Man with a Maiden” V. How should the Christian guard and preserve this beautiful part of the marriage relationship? If you are married, guard yourself and remember your promise. • “… Keeping myself only to you, as long as we both shall live.” • Don’t get too close to those of the opposite sex. • Be the best mate you can be, and be content with your God-given mate.
