Commentaries:
God created sexual relations as a normal and enjoyable part of marriage. Paul told the Corinthian Christians that neither husbands nor wives should defraud the other by refusing sexual relations (verses 3-4). But Paul did say they could abstain—only temporarily—if both agreed. As an example of why they might wish to temporarily refrain, Paul mentioned fasting and prayer. The Bible does not prohibit sexual relations during a fast, but Paul did permit abstinence if both agreed (verse 6).
