‘Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan won’t be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ‘ 1 Corinthians 7:5(NLT)
‘This is Solomon’s song of songs, more wonderful than any other.
Young Woman
Kiss me and kiss me again, for your love is sweeter than wine. How pleasing is your fragrance; your name is like the spreading fragrance of scented oils. No wonder all the young women love you!’ Song of Songs 1:1-3(NLT)
Today’s verses remind us that sex isn’t just a gift from God, it’s important ! Prioritizing sex in your marriage helps to fulfill your needs, and it also binds us together and protects us from becoming ensnared by Satan through temptation.

In wrapping up this reading plan for improving your sex life as a married couple, we want to give you one more suggestion. In the previous day’s reading we noted the value of praying together for keeping your sex life healthy and fun. We’d be remiss if we didn’t remind you to do that one more time. It’s key. God wants the very best for you in this are of your married life. That’s why Jesus urges us as Christ followers to “pray for anything” (Mark 11:24).
And here’s our prayer for you:
Father, bless the husband or wife who is reading this plan. Bring incredible joy and fulfillment to their marriage through their sex life together. Help them honor you and each other as they talk through what they want in this area. And give them healthy, happy, and frequent physical intimacy. Amen.
