Sex and the Christian Couple

Sex and the Christian Couple

What’s okay—and what’s not—in a Christian marriage?

Overview

What does the Bible have to say about sex within marriage? Should we feel guilt over some of the things we do? How can we know what sexual activities are okay and what aren’t?

Using MARRIAGE PARTNERSHIP’s article "Christian Sex Rules," we’ll examine issues many Christians wonder about but seldom discuss regarding sex within marriage.
