I am burning of desire but cant get married

IM BURNING WITH DESIRE BUT CANT GET MARRIED..orininal header SUGGESTS that thats why he wanted to get married..he didnt say "burning with desire". And of couse not..God didnt CAUSE his burning to teach him a lesson..nowhere did i suggest thst..it HELPS us realize that we NEED GOD for those things ..to help overcome..you know.."greater is HE that is IN us..than He tgat is in the world"..other people have struggles and illnesses that God allows and yes..maybe to teach us lessons along the way..stretch our faith..humble and submit to Him...etc..and i just said its DANGEROUS to marry for sex..no foundation to a lasting marriage and it kinda sounds like hes look for a wife to cure him of His burning but maybe God is trying to teach him self control? I dont know..just a thought. Theres a lot of sexkess marriages out there for many reasons..its like a person who squanders theier money n wants to get married cause 2 incomes are better than 1 right? Wrong..usually double the debt

It does not at all suggest that, it is simply the way you viewed it. A person can get married for both a genuine desire and to battle a sex drive. Your belief that it's one or the other is false, right at the get go.
The idea of him suggesting he only wants marriage for sex is a bigger stretch than the idea you're saying God caused him to this struggle.
No comment on what Paul said? Does it work against your idea that Gods teaching him a lesson and therefore can't be acknowledged?

Sexless marriage? What are you even talking about? That has nothing to do with the topic.

Youve asked this before in the masterbation thread..my answet to you is the same..COLD SHOWERS

better question is, what are some sinless way to handle sex drive?

The same way you deal with any other temptation..............ignore it. Just like a living being what you feed grows; what you don't feed withers and dies.

At times I get tired of other men telling me that the natural sex drive MUST be satisfied or that they CAN'T resist the urge.................hogwash.

ooh, Jewel's on the move

um, I meant, Jewel is giving good advice here, that can help take away the sinful desire

healthy alternative

good point, last time I checked, I never complained once about whatever other possible temptation that I'm not aware of, unless if it's brought to mind

In all seriousness..i think God allows these things so that we need to always realize we cant control these things on oir own..we NEED God to help us..its like a "thorn in our flesh"..if we COULD control these things maybe we'd be apt to leave God out of the. Picture...the bigger the temptation..the bigger Gods glory when he helps you over come it! Btw..i think its dangerous to marry just to have sex...

What are up with all these guys who want marriage, but declare they can't? Why don't they just go ask a girl out? Stop hanging on the internet if you want a woman.

Several months ago, we had another member who was also saying the exact same thing (that he struggled with sexual feelings but had too many flaws for a woman to marry him.)

I tried to look up this old thread but maybe it was lost when the system changed over, or else I didn't enter the right search terms.

In that thread, many people asked, as I would like to ask here, why is it that you think marriage is not possible for you?

In the previous thread I mentioned, we asked the poster the same thing, and he would just continue to repeat that he had too many flaws for any woman to accept, even trying to list all of the flaws he thought he had.

The funny thing is though, I don't know a single person who ISN'T flawed, and several of those people got married.

Why is it that you think your flaws are supposedly so much worse than anyone else's?

never said just because of sex, i said romance too , and love of course.

i have asked out alot fo women, all of them said no to me.

the problem is that i have too many flaws, so i dont think a woman can like me.

Might just be possible that God gave you the desire to motivate you to become the kind of man who would make a good husband. If (big if) the problem is too many flaws, then the solution is to start working to improve those flaws you can improve.

whatever unresolved issues a person has single will just take those unresolved issues into marriage. a spouse is not meant to fix everythin g.

OP, you say you have many flaws. we ALL have flaws. some flaws can be corrected. for example, I have crooked teeth. I could have gotten braces, but by the time I could afford them, I was in my 30s. I said, "meh! I spent most of my life with crooked teeth. I'll use the money for something else." lol.

OP, do you love yourself? no human being can validate you. only Jesus can.

Um..."burning" on the OP didnt seem to suggest love or romance but i would hope those things woukd be there as well..did you read ALL my comments or just my last sentence? If not..scroll Uupppppp...
