What moment in a man's life can compare with that of the wedding night, when a beautiful women takes off all her clothes and lies next to him in bed, and that women is his wife? What can equal the surprise of finding out that the one thing above all others which mankind has been most [creative] in dragging through the dirt turns out in fact to be the most innocent thing in the world? Is there any other activity at all which an adult man and women may engage in together (apart from worship) that is actually more childlike, more clean and pure, more natural and wholesome and unequivocally right than is the act of making love? For if worship is the deepest available form of communion with God...then surely sex is the deepest communion that is possible between human beings.
