1 Corinthians 7:2-5

2But in order to avoid sexual sins, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.

3Husbands and wives should satisfy each other’s ⌞sexual⌟ needs.

4A wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but her husband does. In the same way, a husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but his wife does.

5Don’t withhold yourselves from each other unless you agree to do so for a set time to devote yourselves to prayer. Then you should get back together so that Satan doesn’t use your lack of self-control to tempt you.
