Marriage and Sex

Marriage and Sex

The norm is that Christians will marry and that as a Christian couple, the husband and wife will enjoy regular sexual relations.

A healthy sex life is a preventive for immorality.

Both husband and wife should regularly engage in the sexual act as their duty, both to God and to each other.

Both husband and wife should not only give themselves for sex, but each should seek to produce the ultimate pleasure for their partner. Reaching the ultimate pleasure is the sexual union is what best insures against immorality.

Neither the husband nor the wife has the authority to deprive their mate sexually. It is wrong to deprive one’s mate of the pleasures of sexual intimacy.

Those Christians who have been forcibly making a celibate of their mate by withholding sex are commanded to stop sinning in this fashion.

Sexual abstinence is to be a rare and temporary exception to the norm of regular sexual union.

Sex cannot be mutually satisfying without real love.

Spirit filled sex when each strives to please the other is important.

Sexuality and spirituality are very closely related. We are to make sexuality an expression of our spirituality to the glory of God, and for our good.
