Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. That He might sactify and clean it with the washin of water by the word. That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having a spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy without blemish. so ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth Himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church...
Marriage is a God-ordained vehicle for fulfilling God-given sexual desire
Walter Trobisch also said;
Sex should be used, but in its proper place
and time, according to God's plan. within
that plan the sesexual instinct is a good thing,
a powerful source of life and unity
between two beings. Outside of God's plan,
it quickly becomes a means of division,
a source of cruelty, perversion and death.
(I loved a Girl: 1995, p.3)
