Scripture informs us that marriage has two purposes: unitive (that is, a physical and spiritual union - "the two become one flesh") and procreative (that is, having children - "be fruitful and multiply").

The original intention of woman's creation was not for reproduction but rather companionship. Read Genesis 2 Reproduction came after the curse. Placing this burden upon men and women as an absolute is as ridiculous as having them pluck out their eyes if it causes them to sin. Does the church require that also? No!

The reason marriage is falling apart in the west is because the blasted government under LBJ created the great society. Men were going around fathering children not being responsible for them. Taking care of ones own by society was abandoned. Let the government do it. It is a moral decline and many a child was born because of it out of wedlock. So the idea that sex cures it all even in marriage is RIDICLOUS! Reproduction is but a small part of overall marriage it is a blessing if it happens. It's important but is not the sole purpose of marriage & why man and women are united. That was not the origional intention.
