Pastor challenges married couples to have sex every day for a monthNow this is a smart pastor. Talk about increasing membership levels!

YBOR CITY, Fla. – A southwest Florida church issued a challenge for its married members: Hanky panky every day.

Relevant Church head pastor Paul Wirth issued the 30-day sex challenge to take on high divorce rates.

“And that’s no different for people who attend church,” Wirth said Sunday. “Sometimes life gets in the way. Our jobs get in the way.”

The challenge doesn’t extend to unwed congregants, however.

It’s no secret that one of the primary reasons people cheat on boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses, and lovers, is due to an unfulfilled biological need to attempt to procreate. However, it is funny to see churches getting in on the action. No pun intended.

Mirth went on to say:

“We thought if we could challenge our married couples to really engage in intimacy for 30 days and really focus on each others needs for 30 days it would revolutionize their relationships and if we could get single people to remove sex from the equation for 30 days and focus on what really makes their relationships really work it could revolutionize their relationships the current ones that they’re in and maybe their future relationships with their future spouses.”

The Bible actually has some coverage regarding sex and marriage. Whether you’re religious or not, it makes for entertaining reading. Especially when some of the statements are out of context.

How will this affect the divorce rate? Well, it can’t hurt.

After all, if this blog does one thing, it shows that people who aren’t getting “it” at home – go elsewhere. Whether you’re a man or a woman. Whether “it” is sexual or emotional. Getting what we want, via cheating or otherwise, is just part of who we are.

If they are serious about going by the Bible as a guide (Christians believe the old law is no longer law as such but tells how to be pleasing to God), there can’t be any sex “every” day. The Bible tells not to have sex during her period and for seven days afterward.
The Bible tells not to play at sexual stimulation without having intercourse. Foreplay is just that: before-play.
The Bible tells not to do birth prevention. No barriers, spermicides, sterilization, chemicals, drugs, devices, techniques.
The Bible tells not to withhold sex from the spouse (except according to the abovementioned rules).
Jesus said no divorce.

If you join a club or association and do not want to follow the rules, why did you join? If you decide you aren’t willing to follow the rules, quit the club.
