Guiding Principles for Sexual Activity in Marriage

We are often asked questions regarding sexual activities that are okay for a married couple to engage in with each other only.

Since the Bible doesn’t give any specific direction for sex within marriage, we have created guidelines that we believe are scripturally based.

Guiding principles for right & wrong in marriage:

• Is it loving?
• Is it mutual?
• Does it build intimacy?
• Does it in any way distance you from God or violate any biblical principle?
• Go with the most conservative spouse, allowing that one to take small steps toward comfort with that activity if it fits the above criteria.
