    I'm surprised no one has started a thread about this....

    YBOR CITY, Fla. -- A southwest Florida church issued a challenge for its married members: Hanky panky every day.

    Relevant Church head pastor Paul Wirth issued the 30-day sex challenge to take on high divorce rates.

    “And that’s no different for people who attend church,” Wirth said Sunday. “Sometimes life gets in the way. Our jobs get in the way.”


    Wirth, pastor of the Relevant Church in Ybor City, said the 50 percent divorce rate was the inspiration for the challenge.

    The challenge doesn’t extend to unwed congregants, however. He says the single members of the church are challenged to abstain from sex for 30 days.


    Abstain from sex for 30 days for singles and then what? bread like rabbits?

    What about swinging? Didn't say abstain from sex with each other's partners....

    1st - I'm sure if they were to feed the rabbits bread they would enjoy it...

    On your last bit there, you want him to define the acceptable practices of all situations? Or are you just being a hard ass?

    If his sermons were working, people listening, then maybe his church's divorce rate wouldn't be so high. Physician, heal thyself.

    What hubris to think that he can solve a society-wide phenomenon.

    If they're going to divorce, there's no love there, so no sex there. Mechanically inserting sex thinking it wil save a marriage is naive. No sex is a symptom, not a cause.

    Ybor City is "southwest FL"? It's up in the Tampa area.

    The problem with some marriages isn't the lack of sex, just who they are doing it with

    I think this says more about the head pastor than his congregation.
