Do married couples always have to face each other in the sexual embrace? What is acceptable and what isn’t please?
 
This is not something that anyone can go into detail in on this forum. There are underage readers here.

The answer I can give is that, outside of a few obvious topics clearly stated in the Catechism (like contraception), the Church isn’t going to give you a list of proscribed and prescribed actions regarding the marital embrace. A list wouldn’t help anyways because the real issue is if the act is ordered towards unity and procreation.

In general if the couple focuses on what is loving and on what acts best love and value the other, they can’t go far wrong. Keep in mind, though, that’s not a simple limit. It is a process of growth and love the couple will continue for their entire marriage.

why would the spouses always have to face each other?

There’s no reason a married couple can’t have sex in any position they want to. I’m not going to be graphic and list positions, but yeah, there’s no issue here.

Hey bud. I see you’re posting in lots of sexual question threads. It is NOT your job. You say you’re seventeen. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to say you’re a priest or “obligated” to answer these questions when you’re not yet even in seminary.

Well this is awkward but as i am going to be a priest its my job to explain this kind of thing to married people:
The married sex is the man’s penis going to the woman’s vagina, that’s it, anything different is wrong, and i mean anything, dont think too much about it just do it the rigth way becuse its a sacred act, you are biologically prepared for it but thanks to human degeneracy they made it more complex than it is.

If you are not married DONT do it and DONT think about it

Dude, you’re not a priest and may never be one. It’s wonderful that you have the desire, but you’re seventeen. You don’t have any special qualifications here and you frankly don’t seem to have a great understanding of Catholic sexual teaching. You’re a high school student; you need to stop presenting yourself as some kind of authority.

Finally, the OP wasn’t asking what sex is. Just saying “it’s when the penis goes into the vagina” doesn’t address the question.
 
Let’s not come down too hard on him; I’m sure he means well. Just a little too eager.

No. There is only one or two “rules” that the Church has for sex within marriage. One is that it must be open to procreation. The second is that is can’t ever be demeaning or abusive. Within that framework there is literally zero prescription. Couples are free to do what they like.

I know that this question is kinda questionable the reason why since there are many subjects more important to do, however I don’t belive some people ask with bad intentions and since not everyone had intelectual skills for more deep subjects, however they still want to live the Catholic Faith every minute of their life, I don’t see malice or bad intentions.

But in response of your question like others answer the embrace of two need have procreation and respect with the dignity of the partner.

@valentinaa, I don’t think that comment was directed at you or your question. It was a light-hearted comment about something else on the thread.

My question would be what inspired this question? The reason I ask is that there may be some sources that may claim to be Catholic but really try to impose rules that the Church does not (there is one website I recall stumbling on, I cannot remember it), so if you remember it I would suggest that you talk to a reliable priest (several, in fact) and mention what you read and where it was posted.

Additionally, he will most likely learn about this stuff when he gets to seminary - not just the facts, but how to present them, and how to recognize if the person who asks these types of questions has problems with scrupulosity.
