If you are part of a church that regularly preaches about marriage and s-e-xual intimacy, you are in the minority. When you hear the words “s-e-x” and “church” used in the same sentence, perhaps you feel a sense of embarrassment or discomfort. Perhaps you aren’t used to such topics discussed in the church setting.
Let me introduce Pastor Ed Young of Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. He’s not an expert (professionally) in the topic of s-e-x per se, but he does introduce the importance of s-e-x and intimacy within the marriage context. He and his wife recently authored a book named “S-e-xperiment: 7 Days to Lasting Intimacy with Your Spouse.” He challenged his congregants – he asked married couples to have 7 straight days of sex. Sound interesting? Now, he’s re-introducing this topic of s-e-x again by staging his bed on top of his church’s rooftop – and there he is with his wife – on their bed.
