Married couples: Should there be limits to sex?
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Sex is a fundamental aspect of marriage. </span><span style="background-color: transparent;">It is divinely ordained for pleasure and procreation. Ordinarily, married couples should feel free to enjoy sex. This should be done based on mutual consent and fidelity, however.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Married couples should feel free to explore various intimate expressions (kisses, romance, foreplay) as well as styles (missionary, 69, doggy, etc.) with their bodies as long as they both consent and derive pleasure. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Frequent sex can lead to lasting sexual satisfaction and fulfilment. This reinforces marital vows as well as tightens marital bond. Inherently, sex can prevent  husbands and wives from indulging in extramarital affairs. This is something that has destroyed many homes in Nigeria. Couples that indulge in extraordinary sex are often infected with sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, etc.). They can pass these virulent diseases to their partners.</span></p><p>There should be limits to sex. Excessive indulgence in sex can be bad for the physical health of married couples. Some sexual practices are pervasive. They are laden with risks. Couples should never record themselves naked or having sex - even with their own smart phones. This does not always end well. The explicit videos can fall into wrong hands which can lead to blackmail or public exposure if relationships sour.</p><p>During fervent prayer and fasting exercises, couples should refrain from sex. They should use this period to seek for God's blessings, provisions, and guidance in their union.</p><p>Healthy sex should be prioritized. If one of the couple is sick, the other should wait until he or she has fully recovered. Again, if the wife is seeing her menses, the husband should wait until the menstrual cycle is over.</p><p>In conclusion, married couples should understand that sex can result in unwanted pregnancies. They should embrace family planning. Ideally, after having four children, or if they are not emotionally or financially prepared to cater for children, they should use contraceptives (condom) each time they want to have sex. </p>
