Read This Controversial Article About Marriage And Sex
Some Christians, not all, believe or were taught that the only reason for sex is a reproduction.
Other schools of thought teach that there are higher reasons for sex; namely, the ultimate joining together of a married man and woman – joining their two spirits, joining their two minds, and joining their two bodies.
The Biblical perspective is that God made men and women sexual beings. He made our nervous systems capable of receiving pleasure from the sex act. Sex in marriage is good and holy and ordained of God.
Let us look at the following scriptures to find out more what the Bible says about marriage and sex.

Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonored); for God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous.
1 Peter 3:7
In the same way you married men should live considerately with [your wives], with an intelligent recognition [of the marriage relation], honoring the woman as [physically] the weaker, but [realizing that you] are joint heirs of the grace (God's unmerited favor) of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered and cut off. [Otherwise, you cannot pray effectively.]
