God put us here to go through this kind of mental gymnastics, and He certainly put us here to enjoy our sexual lives.

It is not that God is the spectator and sharer of our present life, howsoever important that is; but rather that we are the reverent listeners and participants in God’s action in the sacred story, the history of the Christ on earth. ↗
