“Marital Blessing”

Categories: MARRIAGE, RELATIONSHIPS
Where is it in the Bible that God says the only time you should have intercourse is to make babies and no other time... or is that true?

Sincerely,
Kids In Mind

Dear Kids In Mind,

Sexual relations within marriage are not only for procreation; they are also a blessing from God.  Pr 5:18-19 talks about rejoicing in marital intimacy and being intoxicated with the love of your spouse.  1 Cor 7:2-4 points out that marital relations are intended to keep both spouses from fornication because they will find joy in each other instead of in adultery.
