London: Faced with rising divorce rates and poor communication between couples, the Church of England says it is time to talk about sex.

The Anglican Church is publishing a course and a guide to marriage called Growing Together that encourages married couples to be open and frank with each other.

"Sex, far from being naughty, is something thoroughly wonderful and something to be celebrated," the guide says. "Like any other skill, it has to be learned ... be each other's teacher."

The guide's author is Andrew Body, a southern England vicar and professional counsellor who has been married for 39 years.
