What is the 40-Day Separation and is it required?

The 40-Day Separation period is a devotional period following the Blessing Ceremony before beginning your sexual relationship as a Blessed Couple.

This period can be a beautiful experience for couples who use this time to focus on their internal intimacy and connection, and on that foundation, build on their physical intimacy after 40 days.

Further, this devotional period is an important way to offer your relationship to God before offering yourselves to your spouse.

Is it required?

For first-generation couples, the 40-Day Separation is a necessary condition established by True Parents in order to complete the change of blood lineage process.

For second-generation couples who are Blessed Children, the 40-day separation is highly recommended.
