Life is lessons in love. No regrets. 

Challenge: have sex every day for one month

When debate turns to the value of marriage, attention normally goes to the religious sanctity of the union, the socio-economic benefits to the married adults and their children and even health pluses. Married couples tend to live longer, healthier lives and are typically less depressed or anxious than their single, divorced, or widowed counterparts.


But one Ybor City, Fla, pastor has taken up the mantle of another marriage blessing. In an attempt to curb high divorce rates, Relevant Church head pastor Paul Wirth issued a challenge for his married congregants: Have sex every day for one month.

For those married users, do you think this challenge is worthwhile? Is this a realistic challenge that has some benefit toward your relationship?

I wish that marital happiness were that simple to achieve!  Sexual relations between loving partners need to be in the context of their feelings for each other.  People need to be sensitive to their partner.  We are not just biological creatures.  When sex becomes a marathon event, it loses meaning.  Were I to prescribe a 30 day marriage remedy, I would be thinking more of a commitment to take time each day to listen to one another without making any judgments, hearing each other, and agreeing to work together to create a shared future that will be satisfying to them both.

I don't think this will be the solution to people's problems. If anything I think it will cause them to enjoy sex less since they will find themselves thinking of sex as a chore needed to be completed. Sex is and activity that requires time and a certain state of mind and it can't be forced upon people.

Spreading the love since 1978 Tongue out

I suppose if your marriage is only about sex, then this challenge would do some good.  My marriage is built on many things, sex only being one.  We've evolved as a couple to a point in our relationship where it's just important to us to spend time together doing ANYTHING (two kids, one is an infant), and it would be impossible to do the challenge anyway.  And wouldn't it make the sex bad if you were just doing it to make your quota?  I kind of can't believe a minister suggested this....takes all of the love and emotion out of it and makes it a bodliy function!
