If we agree that the marriage relationship is a mirror of the Trinitarian love relationship of the Godhead then we have to conclude that the activity of the marriage relationship will mirror God's activity, and God's first activity is creation. So the primary activity of the marriage relationship is creative self-sacrificing love. And that is, quite obviously, despite what our self-worshipping society insists, the purpose of sex. We have a very complete picture, biblically supported, for what marriage ought to be. Marriage was intended to mirror the self-sacrificing love of the Trinity to the point that the marriage relationship, through sexual union, continues God's act of creation. When we realize this, we ought to think of marriage and sex as unfathomable gifts. What an amazing privilege to be able to participate so intimately in the inner life of God!
