The Purpose of Sex - Day 5 of 5

Devotional
Perhaps the most profound aspect of marital intimacy is its spiritual significance. When approached with pure hearts and mutual love, sexual intimacy becomes an act of worship - a physical expression of spiritual truth. It mirrors the intimate relationship God desires with His people and becomes a living picture of Christ's love for His church. This elevates sexual intimacy from a merely physical act to a sacred experience that brings glory to God and deepens our understanding of His love for us.

Bible Verse
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church." - Ephesians 5:31-32
