Should Churches Teach On Sex ?

Let's face it, folks. Men and women have been figuring out the how-to's and the when's and the what-works-for-each-couple's for centuries. Even animals can figure out how to make things happen. What we need to know about is what separates us from animals - love and respect for our mates.

Good points.

Speaking of relationships.I spoke today with a person that I have known for along time.In the context of conversation the wife turned to the husband
and voiced this,"You always try to make me look stupid in front of our friends."
We were talking about surfing as he is a professional surfer.She hates the outdoors altogether.They have a gulf between them an ocean wide.
I left the conversation so grieved.I can see the divorce court so clear because neither is willing to give.
You have to give.You may not like the outdoors or the beach but have to put up with a trip or two just to be together and make the other person happy.
He may hate the mall but if a trip or two makes her happy go for it.
Marriage is give and take.You cannot always have things your way.
The other person has a voice and feelings as well.
A relationship does not begin in the bedroom.

I am sure some of you ladies who have been married for awhile can attest to this.
Sinful things you don't have to agree to but there are somethings that are not a sin and the other person enjoys so for the sake of the marriage
join them.Its not going to kill you to give a little.

Now in the church these sort of issues exist ,although sex and human sexuality is considered a taboo subject to discuss in the church.
Should churches teach on sex ?
Sex in it's proper place is a gift from God and the Bible is far from silent on the issue of Human Sexuality.

The only appropriate manner for teaching on this subject is to teach it from a biblical perspective. There is no place whatsoever for secular ideas in the Church (not that you suggested there was such a place but I know that some others might be inclined to try to bring wicked worldly philosophies into it).
