God’s primary purpose of sex is to arouse and satisfy a hunger for intimacy and union as something that should be continually repeated. Sex satisfies that desire, but it also creates a hunger for more—not only more sex, but also for a taste of the ultimate union, the final reconciliation with God. God’s plan is for us to pursue Him and know Him in and through the sexual intimacy that we have with our spouse. Spiritual intimacy is found in the midst of the relational, fleshly delight of union and re-union.
