ConnectUP
When I attend a bridal shower, they almost always ask this question...What advice would you give the couple?
My advice is ALWAYS "Have sex often!"
I don't mean this in some cheap or tawdry way. Married sex is neither cheap nor tawdry. Married sex is, at it's core, physically, emotionally, and spiritually intimate. It is a connection of both body and soul.
"Sex is for procreating and expression of love. It is the destiny of men and women to join together." Spencer W. Kimball
Married sex is a connection that only happens between the two of you. You can eat breakfast, open a bank account, and ride a bike with other people, but you only share the most intimate of human experiences with your spouse.
"Sex is God’s gift to married couples. He designed it to be a beautiful expression of intimacy between a husband and a wife." Lisa TerKerust
My husband and I once had a discussion, attempting to answer the chicken and the egg question in regards to married sex. Is a marriage great when a couple is having sex often, or is it that when a couple has sex often, their marriage is great? Our conclusion, it doesn't matter? Either way, couples who are intimate often, have a better marriage than they would otherwise.
What do I mean by often? This is a personal decision, a question that you and yours should answer for yourselves.
"A meaningful sex life in your marriage is one hill worth dying on. This is not optional in God’s eyes. Satan tempts and destroys many marriages by extreme inhibitions, extramarital affairs, and other sexual distortions. Often it is a subtle drifting apart and a lack of warm, connecting companionship. God has given spouses something precious in the ability as husband and wife to share a physical intimacy that cannot be matched in any other relationship." Marriage Missions
