Sexual emotion and sexual pleasure in the marriage.

Sexual temptations are difficult to withstand because they appeal to the normal and natural desires that God has given us. Marriage provides God's way to satisfy our natural sexual desires and to strengthen us against temptation. As married couples, we have the responsibility to care for one another; therefore, as husbands and wives, we should not withhold ourselves sexually from one another. We should fulfill each other's needs and desires. (See also the note on 1 Corinthians 10:13.)
