YBOR CITY, Fla. -- A Florida church issued a challenge for its married members on Sunday: Have sex every day.
Relevant Church head pastor Paul Wirth said the 50 percent divorce rate was the catalyst for The 30-Day Sex Challenge.

Oh come all ye faithful!
This thread just reminded me of a guy (Christian) I used to know that always said the same thing. Disease is probably the reason.
The forbidden sexual acts expressly include incest, sodomy, homosexual sex acts, and adultery.
There is no express probibition (for gentiles, anyway) against masterbation, except to the extent its excessiveness violates the general mitzvah to “go forth and multiply” or so degrades the person to fall under sexual immorality -— a case specific judgment.
Other acts can, and cannot, fall under the category of “sexual immorality” depending on the culture, the person, and the situation.
I’m not going to crack open my Mishna for you to give “chapter and verse.” Your demand for “chapter and verse” is the equivalent of calling me a liar, and I will hernceforth treat you with similar disdain.
Funny!! Good comeback. In reality .... it’s once a king always a king, but once a knight is enough.
What an idiot to think the 50% divorce rate is because couples don't have sex every day.
LOL Good point!
Jesus does speak of lust as a sin. I guess if you can masterbate while making out your grocery list and not engaging in fantasy, that would be okay.
Jesus is an entirely different issue; purely talking Old Testament Noahide (pre-Jesus, for gentiles) issues here.
This was a "point of information," --- and not a pretext for insult.
Your information is appreciated.
I apologize, as well. I unfairly lumped you in with the annoying “cite?” people.
I’ve been married nearly 17 years (in a row—to the same guy) and our sex life is far more enjoyable now than it has been at any other point in our marriage. Keeps getting better. In fact, I’m willing to bet that a lot of marriages go south because too little importance is placed on physical intimacy.
Oh my GOSH!!! I almost wet my pants, with your “hymns for sex” list! Hilarious!
S’Awright. ;o)
Unfortunately, it's more like "...the less importance wives put on sex". The husband is generally still about as interested after 20 years as he was in the first year
A wife whose husband puts less importance on sex with her, is likely to find out that the reason is because he has found other outlets
Good one.
You're making assumptions about where he's casting his hook
Wetting of the pants is only the beginning...
I would regard a chronic refusal (as distinct from occasionally not feeling up to it) to be as great a violation of the marriage vows as infidelity. Each spouse is supposed to make an effort to keep the other happy, in whatever form that takes
