    In this section, where the concepts are defined, the importance of sexuality in ensuring family integrity is explained. Sexuality is an important and integral part of human life, as well as one of the basic elements that determine the quality of healthy life in our family life. Sexuality is closely related to mental health, with many aspects affecting our physical and emotional health. While discussing the definitions and functions of marriage, many scientists have combined marriage and sexuality in the same definition.
    The basis of marriage lies in meeting and satisfying the basic needs of men and women. ""Sexual instinct is an interest that biologically ensures the continuation of the species, and socially it is a tendency that directs one person to another."" One of the basic ""biological"" functions of marriage is to ""satisfy the sexual instinct"", where the partners meet each other’s desires in harmony and the sexual instinct is satisfied in a legitimate way. As a result, the need to ""have children, raise them and produce their own generations"" is also met. Individuals’ needs for each other gain a certain meaning when the personalities in the family complement each other. The function of the family that ensures the continuation of the generation began with the existence of humans on earth and will continue as long as humanity exists.
