Does sex improve a relationship?

The outlines below encompasses the areas we'll be looking forward to buttress today. 

• What's the correlation between sex and relationship? 
• Are they synonymous with each other? 
• Does sex determine the success of a relationship?

Before we begin officially, we'd like to appreciate someone who brought this fantastic topic to our awareness; Chukwunazum Joel author of CJfoodandhealth.blogspot.com, a food blog. Do well to visit this website. We are indeed grateful.

Back to our outline.

1. What's the correlation between sex and relationship? From this point of view, does it mean whenever you're in a relationship, sex should always follow? Obviously sex in itself is not bad, but the "how" it was carried out becomes a subject of question.

Basically there are lots of relationships without sex not until marriage. Listen, it's not obsolete, it still happens in today's generation. In fact that's how the Bible (God's word) wants it to be.

2. Are they synonymous with each other? Does sex mean the same thing as being in a relationship? This second tag is simply comparing the equality between sex and relationship. Sex is basically not the relationship and the relationship is not the sex. They are indeed two different things, though some persons may try to bring in the fact that, if we're in a relationship it's absolutely normal we indulge in sex. 

Well to their point of view it's not a bad thing, but to our point of view we tend to ask ourself, how normal is their normal? 

As believers (of Christ), their normal is definitely not our normal.

      We all have our opinion on how we view sex outside of marriage, and definitely not every opinion out there is right. But the one and true source of accurate information on sex comes directly from God and his genuine teachers. 

Bible references: Hebrews 13:4 "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge".

1 Cor 6:9-10, 1 Cor 6:18, 1 Cor 7:2, 1 Thes 4:3-4.

3. Does sex determine the success of a relationship? Let's put it this way. Does having sex in a relationship makes that relationship successful? 

"Don't expect a successful result from a faulty approach"_Oghosasere Osatohanmwen. 

The fact you're obviously indulging in sex outside of marriage is already a failure from the start.

    In conclusion to this write up for today, definitely the answers to the questions above is NO. Sex does not make a relationship outside marriage any better. The very first mistake to make is believing sex is going to merge your broken relationship with your boyfriend or girlfriend. What you're indirectly doing is prolonging the breakup time, because breakup is inevitable in such a relationship

    Agreed sex strengthens the level of intimacy for partners, but if you're not married then don't indulge in it. Just so you know, the fact it is right out there doesn't mean it is right for you.

We are in a sex fast for the time being (till marriage) just like when we decide to deprive ourself of food (fast) for some days and reverence God. At the end of every successful fast, believe me, there is always a victory in the spirit. There is a right time for sex (which is in marriage) but first you must discipline yourself in this sex fast before the appointed time comes.
