Episode notes
No Fixed Sex Frequency Number
- The Bible doesn't set a specific number for how often couples should have sex but encourages mutual agreement and consideration.
- Sexual intimacy should reflect love and be a joint effort, considering physical, emotional, and spiritual factors in the marriage.
Strive for Free and Frequent Sex
- Aim for a sexual relationship in marriage that is both free—allowing variety—and frequent, ideally 2 to 4 times a week in early marriage.
- Adjust expectations realistically as life changes, such as aging and parenting, affect frequency and energy.
Balance Selfishness With Service
- Differences in sex drives are common and can lead to selfishness if partners do not serve each other.
- Healthy marriage requires both partners to sometimes prioritize the other's needs over their own pleasures.
