Grapevine Pastor Taking ‘Sexperiment’ To Church Roof

GRAPEVINE, TX (KTVT/CNN) - A Texas pastor and his wife known for their frank talk on sex, religion and marriage are planning to spend 24 hours in bed on the roof of their church for everyone to see.

"For far too long, the church has kicked the bed out and God out of bed," pastor Ed Young said.

At Fellowship Church in Grapevine, a bed is front and center to explore the subject of sex within marriage.

"It's all about recognizing the importance of sex," his wife and fellow pastor, Lisa Young, said.

Ed and Lisa Young will not only be preaching about sex and marriage, but this Friday they will also spend 24 hours in bed on top of their massive Grapevine megachurch, encouraging married couples to have more sex.

"Basically the Bible says and God says I made love, so you can make love in marriage," Ed Young said.

They are trying to help couples re-establish the special bond many husbands and wives put on the back burner.

"I think for years people have carried their own sexual baggage, into reading about sex in the Bible. They've only talked about the don't do's, instead of the do's," Ed Young said.

Married almost 30 years with four children, the Youngs believe sex connects, and ask couples to have sex for seven days in a row. They call it "the sexperiment."

"This is about discovering intimacy," Lisa Young said.

Something they said their congregation was clamoring for.

"You actually said 'I want to challenge you with seven days of sex.' The men stood and gave a standing ovation," she said.

The "sexperiment" is based on the Youngs' new book, which looks at how fatigue, boredom and children can lead to marriage's demise, and how more sex can rekindle connection.

"What we want to say is look there's a way to do, a way to do it right… do it successfully," Lisa Young said.

The couple also shared personal ways to make your partner desire more sex.

"We always like to say what God created is never x-rated," Ed Young said.

The pastors said it is a gift from God, meant to please your greatest love for a lifetime.

"We've looked at sex too casually. It's not a casual thing, it's a profound thing, and it's definitely not a profane thing," Ed Young said.

The couple's "sexperiment" will be streamed live on the web.
