So, I found this via my friend Carlos<\/a>. It is a “30-Day Sex Challenge” started by the folks at Relevant Church in Tampa, Florida. <\/a>
\nHere’s the gist of the challenge:<\/p>\n

People are not having enough sex. An epidemic of breakups prove the needs that lead to a great sex life are being overlooked. Dirty dishes, frumpy clothes, and a lack of authentic connections are killing the romance. A great sex life is a challenge and takes focus, determination, and planning. Some say it\u2019s an unrealistic goal, but we disagree. We believe you can have a great sex life, in fact we believe God wants you to have a great sex life.
\nRelevant Church is proposing a challenge encouraging married couples to purposely engage in sexual activity for 30 days and singles to intentionally forgo sexual activity for 30 days. We know, it sounds crazy. However, we believe this challenge will not only improve sex lives, but also strengthen relationships. In this series married couples will review the obvious needs of him and uncover the forgotten needs of her and singles will cut through the illusions and consider the qualities that result in healthy relationships.
\nFor far too long the church has remained silent on the subject, leading many people to believe that God is against sex, which is completely counter to what the Bible teaches.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Take the challenge! It probably isn’t what you think it is.
\nHere is the guide for married couples. <\/a>
\nHere is the guide for singles. <\/a>
