What does the Bible say about sexuality and marriage?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that sexuality is a gift from God, meant to reflect His relationship with His people through marriage.

The Bible presents sexuality as a divine gift, foundational to the institution of marriage, meant to symbolize the profound unity between Christ and the Church. In Ephesians 5:25-32, Paul compares the love husbands should have for their wives to that of Christ's sacrificial love for the Church, indicating that the marriage relationship is intended to embody the beauty of this divine union. Additionally, Genesis 2 mentions that a man will leave his parents and become one with his wife, establishing marriage as a fundamental part of God's design for human relationships. This divine design emphasizes that sex within marriage is not merely for pleasure but is intrinsically tied to God's intention for intimacy and unity, reflecting the greater reality of His covenant relationship with His people.
