Did God Make Marriage for Sex? The Answer Might Surprise You!

Paul explores a provocative question: did God create marriage for sex, or did he create sex for marriage? He argues that human sexuality — unlike most animals — is designed for pleasure, bonding, and ongoing intimacy, not only reproduction. The episode explains how sex releases chemicals and hormones that connect partners, helps smooth relationship rough spots, and can encourage commitment. It also acknowledges how sin and hurt can damage sexual intimacy. If sex in marriage isn’t as it should be, it can improve with help and effort. Paul concludes that doing sex well in marriage honours God.
