What is wrong with happiness when it is inspired by the most holy?

My aunt and uncle believe married couples should only have sex on certain designated days. They claim they have sex only 10 times a year. I find that strange.

Christians believe that all things natural are evil. Which doesn't make much sense because they also say that God created all things natural so they CAN'T be evil.
One more reason to be an atheist.
Oh, and to ccc4Jesus: the Song of Solomon was between two people who were NOT married.

We Christians don't think it is evil and there is nothing wrong with happiness. Sex is only an evil sin when it is commited that way, such as adultry when someone is cheating on their spouse, or lusting all the time or sleeping with many partners. Most people with good morals agree with this.
Sex and pleasure is not evil if it is with your husband or wife.

Your aunt and uncle are strange... Just read the Song of Songs...
God has created sex and it is good as long as you keep to God's rules. For married couples only... (Levticus 18)

And who on earth gave you that idea?! Christians have the most amazing, loving sex when it is done within the boundaries God has set.
Indeed, if you ask the Lord to help you understand it, go to Song of Solomon in the Bible for a lesson on erotic, loving sex between a man and wife.

Christians do not believe that sex and pleasure are evil. It is when there is no commitment, or with many partners that the issues arise. It is preferred that sexual pleasure is not enjoyed until after marriage.
And sex for Christians is between one man and one woman who are married.
Is it true that wedding cake is the one food that seriously reduces a woman's libido?

I believe that there has been a misunderstanding of what the Christian's actualy believe and that it is not a matter of them believing that sex and pleasure is evil but simply that they think that there is a time and place for everything including sex and pleasure.

Sorry to diminish in, i'm a Christian and that i recognize the question isn't for me. yet when procreation is the in straight forward words objective of sex, what percentage little ones might want to couples have through now? I understand your element, and that i agree. sex is likewise for the exhilaration of husbands and different halves.

Christians think sex within marriage is not evil. However they think sex outside of marriage is bad.
They do not think pleasure itself is evil, as then loving others (which causes pleasure) would be evil.

I don't. I'm Christian and I see sex as one of many ways that we can experience the divine. Nothing wrong with sex in the least. It is nature and it is human. God made humanity with penises and vagina and He intended us to use them (and enjoy their usage). Be fruitful and multiply and all that jazz.

Umm - thats a common misconception. To answer it briefly as possible though...
God created sex. He created it then ordained it to be for a man and woman who get married. Indeed, the Bible says that it is good for a man to get married so that he does not have to burn with lustful desires.
BUT it does say that outside of this context it is immoral. e.g. homosexuality, unmarrieds, worse things I don't need to mention....
