Florida Pastor Challenges Married Couples to Have Sex Everyday for a Month
I don't think it is appropriate for the church to make such a declaration. The church should not make public statements to encourage sex. Too many couples stay together because of sex. People shouldn't stay together if, they have no real feelings toward each other. The Pastor should not have encouraged people to have that much sex. That's not relaxation. On a personal view I don't believe that the sex every day could help my relationship with my wife. That could make it worse because sex is supposed to occur because of love. It isn't supposed to be scheduled or occur just because it has to. That challenge would only suck the love out of a relationship.
There are many alternatives the pastor could have prescribed to help lower the divorce rate. Some of them are to be honest with your spouse. You could also have a counselor. The church could even offer that kind of a service and be a mediator between the couple. This would help the couple to get out any worries about their spouse's activities. Therefore, it would lower the distrust between the couple. That would also decrease the couple's stress level.
Another alternative is to take a vacation. Taking time off from your job and your normal life would help to relax a couple. They could even go somewhere romantic and try to remember why they loved each other so much. Take a trip to Rome or Italy and get a break from your job and your kids. That will help any relationship because it will lower the stress level. Those are the ways we should lower the chances of you divorcing and lower the divorce rate in America.

Post a Commentmarrage seems to be some sort of magic thing that people think if you find the right person you'll always be happy and there is sunshine coming out of each others @$$. i have been married for 8.5 years and i can tell you we have had a rough and rocky marrage, because we are both stuborn and intellectual people that have diffrent backgrounds and interests. However it doesn't make me love my wife any less, in fact i respect her more because she doesn't just default to agree mode just to aviod conflict. I do feel that lifes stresses do interfere with our love making and that if we made time more often we would have fewer arguements and get along better. So to the woman who wrote this article please step down from your high horse and see that the man you are writing about is not trying to force people to stay together dispite there problems but trying to send the message that stress in todays world is a marrige eater and sex is the ultimate cure for stress, in short hes right so stifle y
The AP took one sentence out of probably what was an hour discussion to his congregation and you took that and manipulated it to your personal rant. So what if a pastor tells his church to have more sex. God bless him for doing so. There is nothing wrong with sex within marriage. Out of that one sentence, you have construed his message that he was not trying to promote marriage, intamcy between man and wife. Your mouth is attacking, breaking down, discouraging; Why don't you post the pasors entire sermon or letter, or what ever it was taken from, and let us discern the content.
Well, I agree that sex is not the reason for people to stay together. In the first place, many people who think they are sexually compatible get married, only to find out that sex is only a small part of marriage, and when faced with problems, they quit. But my thought is, if a couple does not give time for sexual intimacy in their marriage, that is also a big reason for infidelity. A balance is necessary, as with all aspects of our lives.
God bless you!
