September song that was uncalled for. If you have a problem with people with religion or people trying to find religion dont come into religions and spirtiuality.

Hi Tiffany,
Having sex for pleasure in marriage is a good thing and it is what God wants us to do. Why?
Because sex is SACRED and to be shared only between husband and wife who are legally and lawfully married. Marriage is ordained of God. So is sex. It was created for our enjoyment to share with each other. It binds us together like nothing else in this life can. Two beings, who trully love each other, become one, literally, when having sex. This is a trully spiritual and sacred act of love that the two people share together.
Today in this world sex is used as a toy, a punishment, as a sin, for evil, for gain, for pleasure (not joy and happiness and love), for selfishness, greediness, control, money, and more. Do not look at sex the way the world does but the way God does. He commanded us to multiply and replenish the earth, he did not tell us to abstain from loving each other. (in our marriage).
Another thing is, in the scriptures it says that we are to cling to one another, become one, love each other. These tell you right there what we are to do with each other.
If you are having sex with your loved one to whom you are married in the way God intended, then you are sharing something so sweet, something so special, something so sacred and building and, you know it, it helps strengthen the relationship, helps it grow, helps it mature, helps the two come closer to each other, serve each other, give to each other, make each other happy. What bad is this?
By their (the) fruits ye shall know them.
If sex is used for good things, then it is a good thing and comes from God.
If sex is used for bad things (i.e. self-gain and pleasure, money, control, perversion, etc) then it is bad and comes from Satan.
So, go make some sweet love to your husband!! And ENJOY it together! :)

The Catholic Church officially considers it sinful, but they do not have a lot of company in that view, even among the (otherwise) faithful. Sex is a vehicle for building a relationship, and should be treated as such. My own view is that religion is a waste of time because it can be proved that religious belief, per se, has no consequences one way or the other.

It depends on what your choice of religion is. Many do say that sex is sinful if it isn't for reproductive purposes, or if you're using contraceptives.
Personally, I think that as long as the participants are responsible for their health and willing, it's none of my business what goes on in their bed.

Absolutely not... God has created us as sexual beings... sex between husband and wife helps increase intimacy and connectedness. it is a necessary part of the marriage relationship. I've seen many marriages in trouble because they struggle in the area of sex

Read Hebrews chapter 13 verse 4.
Nothing wrong with anything you do with your spouse for sex pleasure. The bed is undefiled.

It is not a sin. The bible says the marraige bed is undefiled, meaning if its between husband and wife it is blessed by God. Ofcourse certain positions are not natural biologically and are not good if you know what I mean.

Sure, its supposed to be a way for husband and wife to become 'one' also. Like a soul tie. Its pretty Scripture based!Just read some Songs of Solomon! And if it wasnt, there would be babies everywhere!!

in the bible, the Song of solomon is an entire book that describes the intamate love between a man and his lover, and the pleasure they experience. It's a very sweet book, you should read it.

If you are husband and wife, I don't think there's something wrong, it's called uniting with each other, having deeper connection but in any time, when you are ready to bear a child, then do reproduce.
