Point # 1 Because of sexual temptation, married couples must be having regular sexual relations with their spouse (1-2;5).

Point # 2 Within marriage, sexual privileges and responsibilities are reciprocal (3-4).

• Sexual relations are a “due” within marriage because the body is not one’s own free possession but belongs to one’s spouse.

Point # 3 Within marriage, neither partner is to deprive the other of regular sexual relations except under three conditions (5-6):

• by mutual consent
• for the purpose of devoting themselves to prayer
• only temporarily.
