Call to action: Pastor issuing 7-day sex challenge – Yahoo! News<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

The pastor of a mega-church says he will challenge married congregants during his sermon Sunday to have sex for seven straight days \u2014 and he plans to practice what he preaches.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to give it a try,” said the Rev. Ed Young<\/span>, who has four children with his wife of 26 years.<\/p>\n

Young, 47, said he believes society promotes promiscuity and he wants to reclaim sex for married couples. Sex should be a nurturing, spiritual act that strengthens marriages, he said.<\/p>\n

“God says sex should be between a married man and a woman,” Young said. “I think it’s one of the greatest things you can do for your kids because so goes the marriage, so goes the family.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well, if it’s a religious <\/em>duty, I guess we don’t have any choice, honey.<\/p>\n
