No Biblical Number for Sex Frequency
- The Bible does not specify a number for how often married couples should have sex.
- The key is mutual agreement, consideration, and working through underlying issues if frequency is a concern.
Sex Should Be Free and Frequent
- Sex in marriage should be both free and frequent, involving variety and growth over time.
- The average young married couple has sex about two to four times a week, but frequency changes with age and life circumstances.
Adapt Sex Life to Life Seasons
- Consider life seasons like military deployment, travel, sickness, or parenting, which can affect sexual frequency.
- Serve each other with self-control and patience during these seasons without selfishness.
