The sin of refusing sex

MY Statement on Sex in Marriage.

Hebrews 13:4
GOD’S WORD Translation
Marriage is honorable in every way, so husbands and wives should be faithful to each other.

Hebrews 13:4
Amplified Bible
4 Marriage is to be held in honor among all [that is, regarded as something of great value], and the marriage bed undefiled [by immorality or by any sexual sin]; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

and, it is fun, brings couples closer together.

Not all my couciling is with Christians.

There is a spiritual component to sex and not just physical. Perhaps more people should consider their spirituality and commit their physical lives to God.

Nice to see you back...again...again...lol.

While I agree with what you are saying...Here's the thing, this thread has been taken from one extreme to the next over and over again. You've got people going off in all kinds of crazy directions. No one, to my knowledge, anyhow was advocating treating anyone like a piece of meat or indicating that sex is the only thing marriage is built on.

It has all been discussed numerous times in this thread, and people just keep attacking and accusing others.

So like I said, I agree with your sentiments here.

But really, I wish I hadn't even engaged in this thread 2 years ago when it began. It really has been fruitless and a bunch of nonsense and accusations.

I have had some of my best conversations with my husband in bed. Sex should bring people closer to each other. By people meaning those in the marriage lest I be accused of open marriage or sex before marriage or some other thing I never said It's just too bad really, when you have to be concerned someone is just waiting to pounce on your words and say 'aha!'. Thankfully, I don't think that is being done by most people here although comprehension seems to be some sort of general problem.

Good night all, I need to cook dinner,

NO ONE CARES!

ITS NOT THE POINT. NEVER HAS BEEN. ONLY YOU ARE DISCUSSING THIS.

Hellfire and brimstone preaching no doubt about it. I don't have that background and I am not impressed by your giving someone and not me either, that ole timey you either agree with scripture or you don't. I don't think you see a thing I said. And yet here I am still trying to address the whys of things.

You and I have very different communication skills. I call yours 'my way or the highway'. Yeah. I know. God said it. But He said a whole lot of other things as well.

We are approaching 50 years of marriage.

Part 2


There should be no argument here. The fact that there are so many people trying to add a "Yeah but"...

Congrats are in order. My record is 11 years, 2 months.

I often have to pull out these images in fourms. Not latly here. (where that spell checker go again?)

View attachment 240122 In good fun acourse.

You are speaking from the perspective of a woman. I don't think most men can they are easily aroused and prone to lustful thoughts. An honest man would agree.

Rookie.

That will only win you the bronze medal...lol.

Oh, hello...again (and again, and again, and again...).

With God as my Witness, I popped in today to check out the thread on the "Third Temple News", which I never read before and never actually read today, because I've been talking to people about the coming third temple for years, and I was wondering if I might glean something from that thread.

Well, as things turned out, I got distracted by a cat fight.

MEOW!!! (With the emphasis on the OW!)

To make matters worse, I feel as if God wants me to do a few things here before leaving again, so you might be stuck with me for a while because I'm especially strapped for time at the moment.

Is there no escape from this place?



Anyhow, I hope that you're doing well.

I have come to understand by experience and observation that the word 'but' means 'beneath the underlying truth'. It is like wait for the other shoe to drop is over. Not one of my favorite words either. I try to avoid using it. Those that add that particular word to their explanation have just nullified all that came before it.

Nobody said anything about "forcing" anyone nor did I say to use the Bible to get what you want. I wouldn't advise either one. I tried to make it clear that it would not be wise or successful to say anything to your spouse, neither would it be wise to do anything like taking them before any third party like a pastor for "counseling". No, once again, my intention was to convey that it's the "aged women's" job to teach younger women how to treat their hubbies. Hubbies are just commanded to "love your wives".(alot simpler than reading "10 steps to more whoopie huh?) I thought I made all of that clear?....I do try to use as few words as possible. Maybe that's what gets me in trouble. I dunno.
