The sacred blessing of Physical Intimacy

When it comes to the lds church and sexuality, we believe in it we don’t hate it. There has been a huge generalization throughout the church and through people who are not a part of the church, who believe that we see sex as a sin. This is wrong. Sex is not a sin, sexual relations outside of marriage is a sin. It is the act of taking something that is so sacred, beautiful and a gift from god, to share with your spouse, and using it only out of lust with someone that you have not meant to be with for eternity. In partaking in these actions, you are tearing down and purposely stripping away the deeper spiritual beauty of Sexuality.

This misunderstanding is a huge thing that prophets and leaders of the church have tried to address. President Hugh B. Brown said, “The sex instinct is not something which we need to fear or be ashamed of. It is God-given and has a high and holy purpose.” If we believe and are raised to believe to fear Sex. That it is a sin and the only purpose of it is to bear children, we are missing out on such a crucial and wonderful gift that we are given y God. We don’t need to fear it, or never speak of it. We should rejoice it. We should love our spouse, be spiritual and physically intimate, and love deeply, just don’t misuse or take the blessing for granted and use it in ways it is not meant for.
