How often should a married couple have sex?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Question: "How often should a married couple have sex?"

Answer: The Bible tells us that a couple is to abstain only when it is a mutual decision. 1 Corinthians 7:5 tells us, "Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." So, mutual consent is the "rule" for sexual relations in marriage. A couple must come to an agreement as to how often they have sex. The "rule" is that abstaining from sex must be agreed upon, and that even when it is agreed upon, it should only be for a short time.

Sex should not be withheld or demanded. If one spouse does not want to have sex, the other spouse should agree to abstain. If one spouse wants to have sex, the other spouse should agree. It is all a matter of compromise. We must remember that our bodies belong to our spouses 1 Corinthians 7:4 tells us, "The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife." Obviously, the "sexual compromise" in marriage must be reasonable. If one spouse desires sex every day, and the other spouse once a month or less - they will have to lovingly and sacrificially agree to a compromise, a middle ground. Studies show that taking into account all age ranges, a typical married couple has sex 2 times per week

Pastor Ed Young Wants Married Couples to have Sex Every Day for a Week

by: David Townsend

God may have rested on the seventh day, but the Rev. Ed Young wants married couples to have sex all week long. Once a day. Beginning this Sunday.



The call to action will headline his sermon that day at Grapevine-based Fellowship Church. He plans to deliver his challenge while sitting on a bed.


"I won't be dressed in pajamas," the pastor says.


In these days of financial crisis, rampant divorce and debates over same-sex marriage, it's time, he says, to turn the "whining" into "whoopee."


More fundamentally, he adds, the embracing of sex is about nurturing and strengthening marriages.


"Sex is like Super Glue. It's a spiritual thing, an emotional thing," he says.


And the marriage thing, he believes, should only involve a man and woman. God's way, he says.


Jim Dale of Coppell said he figures the pastor is trying to create more buzz for his five-church mega-ministry.


"Draw 'em in, no matter what or how," wrote the Coppell resident in a posting on dallasnews.com. "Sex? You betcha. That'll pack the pews (or theater seats)."


Mr. Dale, author of a book about individual relationships with God, said he has attended Fellowship Church a few times. And he offered some praise: "I've got to hand it to them, they are brilliant marketers."


Mr. Young says his challenge -- following a seminar called "Leaving Lust Vegas" -- isn't about filling seats. "We've got more people than we can say grace over," he says of his 20,000-worshipper Baptist ministry that video streams services from Grapevine to churches in downtown Dallas, Plano, Fort Worth and Miami.


Marketing is indeed at play, the pastor says. "It gets people thinking on a deeper level about sex. I want people talking about it," he says.


But doing it?


"God says sex should be between a married man and a woman. And do it," he says.


Whatever the motivation, the pastor's rousing words aren't unprecedented. A Florida church earlier this year issued a 30-day sex challenge.


Mr. Young said his words may well resonate more with the young and healthy. And at 47, he plans to practice what he's preaching.


"We're going to give it a try," he says, speaking for Lisa, his wife of 26 years and mother of their four children.


As for others, "I can't make them do it," the pastor says.


But he's hopeful. "I think people are going to have a Happy Thanksgiving."
