by Faced with large divorce rates, a Florida minister has decided to take a new approach. Hoping to inspire couples to stay together, pastor Paul Wirth is advocating that his followers have sex everyday for 30 days. He theorizes that, "Sometimes life gets in the way. Our jobs get in the way."

Married couples typically complain about a lack of intimacy in their marriages; this pastor may be on to something.
I think pastors should keep their noses out of the marriage bedroom. If one said that we should not have marital sex for a particular time we would say it was not his business, so the same is true when this one is encouraging us.
As a general principal, I'd tend to agree. In this case though, I see a few positive signs: It's rare, and IMHO good to see sex recognized by the church as something that's beneficial for more than simple procreation; He's only encouraging his flock to give this a try, rather than telling them that they'll burn in hell if they deviate from his dictum; And who knows, it may actually improve a marriage or two, and if not, hey, it was fun trying!
On a more practical note though, I hope that most of his congregation is in their twenties. For us older folks, this prescription may be too much of a good thing.

If it did have Batman at the end ... I think Robin would be sitting on an inflatable donut.
