Meaning of sexuality in God's plan: which statement is correct?

• A. It is primarily for personal gratification outside marriage
• B. It is a divine gift designed to unite a husband and wife to create life
• C. It has no sacred significance
• D. It is separate from marriage

Answer: (B)

Sexuality in God’s plan is a sacred gift given to a married couple to express deep unity and to cooperate with God in bringing new life. The statement that best reflects this is that sexuality is designed to unite a husband and wife to create life. This captures the twofold purpose often highlighted in Scripture: the unitive aspect—two become one flesh in a committed covenant—and the procreative aspect—the bearing and nurturing of children within that covenant. Within marriage, sexuality is a generous, self-giving expression of love that reinforces the bond and participates in God’s creative work. It isn’t primarily about personal gratification outside marriage, nor is it devoid of sacred significance, nor is it separate from the marriage bond.
