Christian Marriage Advice on Sex and MarriageThe Bible provides Christian marriage advice on the sexual relationship that is timeless. In fact, in the Bible we find instruction as well as real life experiences relating to sex and marriage, passion, lust, and intimacy. This ancient Book is a “how to” manual about such current topics as how to gain intimate passion, how to please your husband or wife, and how to solve the problem of men and romance! 
Many people have the wrong idea about how much Christian marriage advice we can find in the Bible including what the Bible says about sex. We forget that intimacy and sex was God’s idea!God wired us with a sex drive that is one of the most powerful forces we can experience. However, like fire, when it is not contained and controlled, it becomes a damaging and destructive force. The Bible provides accounts of the entire spectrum of sexual experiences; we see through the lives of real people how sex out of control destroyed entire nations [1] and we also see, within God’s design, the pinnacle of sexual experiences [2]. Many will be surprised to know one of the world’s best examples of ancient erotic literature is in the Bible: the Song of Solomon! This book is rich in symbolism and figurative speech, and is filled with sexual references found in romantic love letters between a young husband and wife. In fact, some serious students of this book believe the author, in referring to lovemaking between a young husband and wife, even makes symbolic reference to oral sex. [3] Many other biblical, poetic references to sexuality and lovemaking can be found in the Bible. Proverbs chapter 5:15-19, for example, teaches the dangers of promiscuity as compared with the beauty of sex in marriage: Drink water from your own well—share your love only with your wife. Why spill the water of your springs in public, having sex with just anyone? You should reserve it for yourselves. Don't share it with strangers. When it comes to God's marital advice about sex, I would say the Bible is hot!
