All Christian married couples eventually get to “that issue”: that’s the question, is anal a sin in a Christian marriage? Is Anal Sex Ok For Married Christian Sexuality? Many churches have condemned sodomy as a sin, but why? Does the Bible say it is?
No, the Bible does not say that anal sex is a sin for married Christian couples. Despite Old Testament purity laws regarding periods, no limitations are placed on anal sex as part of Christian sexuality in marriage.
So if it’s not blatantly a sin, is anal sex okay in a Christian marriage relationship?
Maybe.
Let’s first consider how it could be wrong. If a husband demands that his wife be involved in this activity, and she is not comfortable with it, that violates the trust in the sexuality of the marriage. ANY sexual practice that both partners are not comfortable with is wrong. This is a great rule to apply to any other sexual act in a Christian marriage. Now, let’s consider how this act can be a nice addition to sexuality in a Christian marriage. If both partners want to have anal sex, it may be okay for them. If both partners understand the risks of anal sex in a marriage, it may be okay for them. If neither of you feel degraded, it may be okay for them. Here is a checklist to determine if it is okay.
1. Do we feel that anal sex is a sin in a Christian marriage?
2. Are we both emotionally ready for it in our marriage?
3. Do we understand the risks and precautions we must take in adding this to the sexuality of our Christian marriage?
If you answered yes at three, congratulations! If not, then it is not for you. I hope this article has proven to be a valuable tool in your marriage. There is a book that I highly recommend for enhancing Christian sex. You can buy it on this website for the Christian sexuality that I am contributing to. It is new, small and does not cost you anything.
