A quality sexual sharing is a common thread that seems to weave itself through long-lasting, happy marriages. It is a cherished bond that a couple can share throughout the marriage. Their sexual satisfaction indirectly affects most other areas of the relationship. When sex is good in a marriage, it represents about 10% to 15% of what is good in the marriage. But when sex is bad in a marriage, it represents about 85% to 90% of what is bad in the marriage.
When a marriage ends in divorce, sexual deprivation is common, and in most cases has occurred over a lengthy time. Many couples who divorce describe their sexual relationship as never having been good, mechanical, or satisfying to only one partner. In these kinds of situations sexual relationship often becomes a tool for control.
Remember, sex is not just a fringe benefit, it is a vital energy that can nourish a relationship throughout the marriage. And the best of all is that God thought it up. It is His good gift.
