The Bible teaches that sex within marriage is a sacred gift from God, intended for procreation, unity, and enjoyment of husband and wife. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clean and pure marriage bed, free from blemishes and obscene language. Intimacy in the marriage bed is more than just a physical act; it is the reflection of a good relationship and the coronation of what is right in a good marriage.
The Bible prohibits intimacy intercourse outside the marital relationship, but if one is happy with their spouse in any (intimacy intercourse act) it is okay. Encouraging scriptures to text to your husband throughout the day can help build up your Christian marriage.
Sex between couples should be done with consent, honor, and respect, and should not degrade, dehumanize, or disrespect one or both partners. As long as a married couple’s sexual practices are God-honoring, exclusive, loving, other-oriented, unifying, and mutually agreed upon, they should have complete freedom of arousal.
The Bible does not state any rules to-be observed when it comes to sex between couples, but it does place no restriction on foreplay or intercourse. Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, as God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Each spouse has the right to choose what is permissible in the marriage bed, as long as it is done with respect, dignity, and honor.

My husband and I can bathe together. There’s nothing wrong with that. The Bible says in Genesis 2:25: “They were naked and not ashamed.” Bathing together is a great way to strengthen your marriage. You’ll love your spouse more and do things together. If bathing with your spouse makes him happy, go ahead. A good woman does what pleases her husband; that’s not against God’s will. Yes, I will if we live together in a flat with our own bathroom. But if we live in a house with neighbors, I won’t bathe with my wife. I can’t bathe with her in a house where we face each other. She’ll understand our situation, and I don’t think she’ll be offended if I disagree. Some couples don’t mind, but I do. I’ll politely say no.

Most states limit people to one spouse at a time. They won’t issue marriage licenses to anyone with a spouse. Once married, you must be legally released from the relationship before you can remarry. Other limits on people include age and close relationships. In 1996, President Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman. DOMA said that no state, territory, or tribe must recognize same-sex marriages from other states. (See Conflict of Laws, Constitutional Law). In 2013, the Supreme Court ruled that DOMA was unconstitutional.
In 2015, the Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges changed marriage law across the United States by saying that denying same-sex couples the freedom to marry is against the Constitution. This decision made all state laws banning same-sex marriage invalid.

It’s good to hear a well balanced recommendation regarding sexual intimacy within a marriage. So much has been spoken from a very limited and closed mindset from the St Augustine style of teaching. It is good to hear an intelligent woman deliver a Christian centred teaching which begins to open up an very important area which should be happily and freely enjoyed between a married couple. As a result it should give no access for the Devil to pry his way into one of God’s most beautiful gifts.
This is much appreciated. Thank you for not giving opinions without scriptural basis. So many “Christian therapist/ counselors” often give advice from education they have received, although some very good, there is often no scriptural backing for it. We as Christians have to stick to what God says about all issues. Our culture is pushing political correctness on us from ever side. Many times when Christians are asked how they feel about certain relavent issues of the day, they’re damned if they do or damned if they don’t walk the politically correct line. It’s time to stop giving opinions and start answering with, “It doesn’t matter what my opinion is, what matters is God’s opinion…the Bible says…” Thank you for sharing from God’s Word on these matters.
I’m almost 56 and haven’t found the right one. Please pray for me that I might find that right Christian man for marriage. I never wanted to be alone. But I made many mistakes I’m not proud of, and maybe this is one reason God never gave me someone. But I know he is forgiving. Hopefully he will find me someone.
The three envelopes were pretty straightforward apart from oral. I started this but DW wasn’t happy with it so it is off the table. That’s fine. I was just trying things. Obviously no third parties which is edging towards adultery regardless of agreement. Solo mastubation is obviously focusing on yourself instead of your spouse but there are ways it can come into play mutually I think. Discussing it together is an obvious but sometimes neglected feature in a marriage. Sometimes I know DW is embarrassed to discuss things but I generaly know what she agrees with and what she doesn’t. Very good advice. Thankyou.
Why do other humans always have to make it difficult for other humans in the being of being in existence?….(there are no rules) War waging and death are the only two certain things for humanity You get life and the first thing a human body is battling when born is that 1 atmosphere on the lungs You grow to the end of your life and the most certain fact is that the human body will die off, it happens to all other animals and plants and eventually in viewing the bigger picture the earth, the sun and all the planets around it. It dies off one certain day But humans are the most puzzling they make it the most difficult towards each other. Is that the greatness of the great ”rule book”?
I consider myself a Christian but really hate all these grey area’s in the Bible! If we are to follow the teachings in the bible why is there so much ambiguity? This makes zero sense to me. As far as sex and marriage…if you both like it then do it! All things in the bible should be “BLACK AND WHITE”
Modern day sexual intimate practice for married couples in general have very much been influenced by the prevalence of pornography, so what we may consider normal would be in reality unclean, and unnatural. Scripture says: “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral….” anal sexual expression within married couples can be categorize as unclean, unnatural, common sense dictates that. So Christian married couples can be sexually immoral if they practice “unnatural” copulation which includes fellatio or cunnilingus. Even if they agree mutually that it’s ok.
First of all it’s suppose to remain sacred and PRIVATE, and it’s really inappropriate for anyone to think they should open this subject up in a public forum, shame on you. Anyone taking advice from this person, who is obviously a busy body, who is unable to stay at home in submission and obedience to her husband, great start for counseling married couples, I’ll bet she’s even got a degree from man.
First, you are kind and loving in your presentation, and you are earnest and well meaning. But what happens between a loving, married couple consensually in the bedroom is between them alone and does not concern a 2000 year old book written by men. If I follow the Bible, I can have sex with my wife’s slave for purposes of having a child? I can have multiple wives? God was fine with both in the Old Testament. That aside, your suggested guidelines are still good. Thank you.
