I found this on the front page of Drudge.  (I don’t believe it is up anymore.)

Florida pastor Paul Wirth wants his parishioners to make love — a whole lot of love.

Wirth said the supposed 50 percent divorce rate is the reason behind the 30-Day Sex Challenge.

He said too many couples let the stress of jobs and daily life get in the way of intimacy. But there’s a catch to the pastor’s every day sex challenge — it’s for married couples only.

Unmarried people — even if they are in a long-term relationship or living with someone — are asked to abstain from sex for 30 days.  (Source)

You know, 40 is a Biblical number.  I say, if you are going to go for it, go for 40, not 30.

Okay, now in all seriousness, I wonder how well this is going to work.  To me a large part of marriage failure among Christians is both parties not “submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.”  While sex is a part of that, it is not the whole issue.  In fairness to the church, since this is all I know I will assume that this issue will be addressed as something greater than a frequency issue.

The series has a web site up (though as of now down due to bandwidth issues) you can check out.  It might speak to some of the questions I had.

You can also see a news story about the 30 day challenge here.

Please don’t let me know if your spouse agrees to this.  I like to know about the readers of this site…but not that much!
