No: Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. Pain in general has been shown to be better in sexually active and married individuals. Specific acts which cause pain and not pleasure should not be pursued, but changing things should be healthy and bonding for your marriage. If pregnancy is in the picture, make sure your habits allow for medication free management of pain. Best wishes.

Indirectly: Stress and anxiety related to it can exacerbate pain and muscle tension as well as overly aggressive sex and certain sexual positions when sustained which are not favorable to a neutral spine position can do it.
