The purpose of sexual union is to express and foster love's beautiful intimacy and to draw husband and wife together for procreation.

When a virgin man and woman marry and share physical intimacy with each other, their union is very strong and their marriage stable.
This is because their psychic nerve currents, or nadis,grow together and they form a one body and a one
mind.
Conversely, if the man or woman has had intercourse before the marriage, the emotional-
psychic closeness of the marriage will suffer, and this in proportion to the extent of promiscuity.

For a marriage to succeed, sexual intercourse must be preserved for husband and wife. Each
should grow to understand the other's needs and take care to neither deny intercourse to the
married partner nor make excessive demands.
A healthy, unrepressed attitude should be kept regarding sexual matters. Boys and girls must be
taught to value and protect their chastity as a sacred treasure, and to save the special gift of intimacy for their spouse.
They should be taught the importance of loyalty in marriage and to avoid even the thought of adultery. The Vedas intone,
"Sweet be the glances we exchange, our faces showing true concord. Enshrine me in your heart and let one spirit dwell with us."
