Abstract

[While the Christian tradition has suggested marriage is the appropriate locus for sexual relationships, many people are not married and many married couples are not in good relationships. This chapter begins from our understandings of sexual desire and good sex to articulate what good sexual relationships could look like. Rejecting the focus on marriage, the chapter argues for reframing relationships around a deeper notion of friendship. It begins with a definition of marriage, explores the historical context around marriage, and articulates how to have a good partnership with reference to the biblical tradition, the Christian tradition, and theology.]
