In "The Mahatma Letters" is the following: "Occult Science does not allow
a shadow of self-indulgence, and is incompatible with the ordinary course
of married life."

I have always enjoyed one of HPB's statements about marriage, also, I
believe from "The Key to Theosophy," that marriage is like a lottery
with "so many blanks and so few prizes."  But she seemed to believe that
sex had little direct effect on one's spiritual growth, saying that if
one wanted to participate in that kind of a game with the odds so
heavily against one, it was no spiritual loss.
