This past week (week 7) of my family relations class, we discusses sexual intimacy and Family Life, we discussed sexual intimacy within marriage, and how parents can talk to their children about sexual intimacy and when. We discussed that sexual intimacy is meant to bring a couple closer together on multiple levels, not just physically, but also spiritually, and emotionally. Along with the topic of sexual intimacy, my class discussed how parents can talk to their children about sexual intimacy. As a class, we agreed that the best way to address this topic is early, and when they ask questions and before they pursue other sources(such as friends, or older siblings) for information.

What are some of the specific benefits of sex between husbands and wives? You mentioned that sexual intimacy connects couples on a variety of levels; how can communication deepen these connections? As there is no specific age in which couples are taught to teach children about sex, what age do you think is appropriate? Why is it to important for parents to be the first teachers concerning sex as opposed to friends and those at school?
