I once heard a priest put it in a much less complicated way, and rather beautifully:

“God intends this relation only for the creation of children on the bed of sacramental marital love.”

Although children are certainly a valid reason, I believe that it is also intended to foster and build a relationship, trust and bond between married couples.

Oh if only Christians put this into practice they could still have lots of sex but they’d be having a lot more babies in Europe and in middle-America rather than being replaced by peoples who still know the joys hóf having big families.
