1 Corinthians 7:1

1. Now about the questions you asked in your letter. Yes, it is good to live a celibate life.
2. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.
3. The husband should not deprive his wife of sexual intimacy, which is her right as a married woman, nor should the wife deprive her husband.
4. The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband also gives authority over his body to his wife.
5. So do not deprive each other of sexual relations. The only exception to this rule would be the agreement of both husband and wife to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time, so they can give themselves more completely to prayer. Afterward they should come together again so that Satan won't be able to tempt them because of their lack of self-control.
