Pastor Issues "30-Day Sex Challenge"

A | A | A (CBS) The pastor of a southwest Florida church opened many eyes and ears Sunday when he said he wants married couples in the congregation to -- have sex for 30 days in a row.
Oh -- and he wants singles to steer clear of such frolicking for the same length of time.
Head pastor Paul Wirth of Relevant Church in Ybor City, outside Tampa, says his "30-Day Sex Challenge" is one way of taking on the nation's 50-percent divorce rate.
"About ten years ago," With explained on The Early Show Wednesday, "my wife (of 18 years) and I were struggling in our marriage, and we realized that we needed something that was going to help us in our marriage, and we found this information from Dr. Willard Harley about learning each others' emotional needs. And we began to study it and apply it to our marriage, and it revolutionized our marriage, and we know that, you know, God is the one who talks about love and authors love, and he knows that he wants us to be intimate and connected with each other on a daily basis."
Wirth told CBS News he believes most people go into marriage "without really knowing each other emotionally, without knowing their partner's emotional needs, and this (the challenge) is a way for people to discover their greatest needs -- both married and non-married couples."
He cited a recent study out that found that 20 million Americans who are married have sex fewer than 10 times a year. "People's jobs, houses, kids and other things get in the way," he says. "I think men really need to reevaluate their wife's needs. We so often come home and kick off our shoes and pick up the remote and don't offer to help with dinner, don't offer to help with the kids -- and then we just expect fireworks in the bedroom. But we need to meet (our wives' needs) on intimate levels."
The reaction has been "overwhelmingly positive," Wirth says. "Both married and single members are excited about it. My wife has fielded a bunch of e-mails saying that it's opened a line of communication in some marriages that they haven't had since they were married."
Among the couples taking part: congregants Doug and Lorena Webber.
"We're sitting in church one day, and we heard about this challenge," Doug told Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith, "and we said, 'That's perfect. We can do anything for 30 days!' And the more you dig into it, we're, like, 'We can certainly do this for 30 days! ' "
Lorena says, "We're just trying to figure out a way to meet each others' emotional needs, and that's the biggest thing about this. It's more than physical. It's about getting to know each other again."
"It's much more than the physical aspect," Doug agreed, "so, it's really helping us refocus on our marriage."

Charlotte 03
Asheville 04
Atlanta 12
Greenville 16, Columbia 16
Seattle 18
Nashville 22

It cools off a bit but thats a little crazy !

no sex for singles for 30 days?!! haha, i think i won't be wrong if i say a single person that has constant sex for 30 days is pretty hard to find.
Great premise though! If it's the goal at the end of the day to have sex....you're going to want to keep things going good in order to reach that goal. I find it hard (pun) to have sex with someone I'm mad at.
someone who isn't single but isn't married might.

but then they wouldn't be called single, would they? single is when you've got no one, not a boyfriend, not a partner, not a casual buddy
let's say you're not mad at them but annoyed or slightly mad, it'd still be likely that i have sex with them. i suggest you to try it...it might even turn into make up sex
i think there's a billboard up in town for this sex challenge too.

that's not how this pastor was thinking of it. the rule is that *unmarried* people cannot have sex. In the eyes of most religious institutions, a relationship is not recognized unless it is marriage.
and the the eyes of government too, everything official pretty much, there is single and there is married.
this is all true, but i also think overall...it's a bit 'forced' to *try* and have sex for 30 days straight. and what i mean by that is merely the thinking of....'oh we must have sex every day!'...thinking of the quantity, not the quality. nothing wrong with having sex every day
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
hahaha.
so who does that speak to really? her....or you?
i just don't think it's truly helpful to *quantify* how often, b/c really...that means nothing. it's how the couple feels, if they are BOTH satisfied, happy, feel their needs are met, etc....all *quality*........and both quantity and quality, can vary GREATLY couple to couple, married or not really. as i mentioned, i understand the well-intentioned premise behind it, but yes.....seems a wee bit misguided imo. although, nothing wrong with encouraging couples to try and shag more.

AMEN BROTHER!!!!
Once she's mad at me, guarantee at least 2 weeks of no action.
And once we do, she lays there, motionless, until Im done....and no, to have her just lay there doesnt turn me on and most of the time I just get up while in the middle of it and say, "I'm done."

Damn, sounds like a deeper issue than sex
Doesn't sound very healthy for the relationship

sweet smell that they adore
I think I'd rather smother

Sweet
Can't have a problem with it.....safest sex around

Besides... sex doesn't result in emotional connections. Try having the couples actually TALK to each other... about real emotions, concerns, fears, loves.. not mundane crap about work and kids and homes and bills.
Hail, Hail!!!
