For the love of God, get it on!

The pastor of a Dallas-area church says he will challenge his married congregants during his sermon Sunday to have sex for seven straight days -- and he plans to practice what he preaches.

"We're going to give it a try," said the Rev. Ed Young, 47, who has four children with his wife of 26 years, Lisa.

Young said he believes society promotes promiscuous sex and that he wants to reclaim it for married couples. Sex should be a nurturing, spiritual act that strengthens marriages, he said.

Young said, "I think it's one of the greatest things you can do for your kids because so goes the marriage, so goes the family."

Young said he will deliver his seven-day sex challenge while sitting on a bed in front of the church.

Young is founder of the nondenominational Fellowship Church, which draws about 20,000 people each Sunday and has campuses in Fort Worth, Dallas, Plano and Miami.

Earlier this year, a southwest Florida pastor, perhaps having more faith in his congregants' stamina, issued a 30-day sex challenge.
