When God says...
"Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well." (Proverbs 5:15 NKJV)
He urged strengthening the bond of marriage to withstand against seductive tempter and resist the pull of lust. Adapting the imagery of the quenching power of water, the bliss of faithful marriage is protected from the disaster of infidelity, by drinking what belongs to you.
Using the metaphor of cistern and well, representing one's wife, is from whom alone the husband must draw his joy of intimacy and affection. Scriptures exhort us with these words - "Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept honored); for God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous. (Hebrews 13:4 AMP)
And I say, AMEN!
