What Sex Is For

by Grayson Quay

In 2019, my then-fiancée and I met with our priest during the premarital counselling process. One of his questions was whether we wanted children. We said we did. That was good, he replied. If we didn’t, he would refuse to marry us. Although he would make exceptions for marriages beset by genetic, medical, or mental health issues, he flatly declared that DINK (Dual Income No Kids) couples were going against God’s design for marriage. I was shocked. I would have expected such a position from a Catholic priest, but our priest is Anglican. Besides, some people just don’t want kids, I reasoned, and that’s their decision to make. Or is it? To answer that question, we must first ask two others: “What is marriage for?” and “What is sex for?”
