GENESIS 3:16 - To the woman He said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."

Sure looks like the answer is both to me from God's mouth in the same passage. :)

If there is any question at all about the beauty and blessing of physical love within a marriage, please read Song of Solomon.

Thank you guys so much! I feel like this has, in fact, helped a lot.
I heard someone on this site say you should never enjoy sex. Just wanted to know.

My loving wonderful Father, I'm so sorry that some people think a life in You was meant to steal the fun out of everything. Lead us into Your truth

Although their opinions are swell and hey, I agree, BUT I don't see any Bible to back! Here it is!

Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 4 The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife. (basically saying spouses should be each other's sex slaves) Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment. 7 Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind. 8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am. 9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn. 10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband 11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.

But read all 1 Corinthians 7. I guarantee you'll be interested.

Ugly,

Could you please not insert your own feelings or project into someone elses post. The thread was not derailed. The dialogue I am having with Age is an issue which speaks directly to the question. You may not see it that way and that is something you need to explicate if you wish to do so. If not, then just ignore the posts and let the OP make up their mind about what is relevant to them.

Thanks,

The question was 'sex = procreation or pleasure'. It was not 'is birth control acceptable'. birth control was no where mentioned in the original post. so yeah, i'm projecting nothing.
So you may not like that i tried to take the spotlight off you and back on target. Perhaps thats something you need to explicate if you wish. If not, then just ignore the post. See, that line of crap works in reverse.

Hey, what is wrong with you, ugly. Did someone pee on your cheerios this morning?

Wow, I am glad you know how to parrot things back. Next week we'll work on improvisation, okay?

Cheers,

The question of birth control is intrinsically linked to the question. Birth control, by design, removes the aspect of procreation from sex, therefore to address the question asked you must, by necessity, address the question of birth control.
