You are serious????

My gosh!

Hey, I am waiting until marriage, but won't be saving myself once I am married!

It is somewhat sad that all you care about is money, not the small things in life that matter the most like caring for another person.

[Sir Gawain]

I see your point.

[Phsstpok]

Men have no interest in sex and women feel deprived? BS. Keep watching "Married with Children" if that represents reality.

[Mr. Morals]

What does the prostate have to do with bladder control?

I hope to one day be totally impotent and lose my sex drive. The sex drive is cumbersome and I despise it.

[Mr. Morals]

I care a lot about other people. I just don't want to end up divorced and broke.

[verity]

...a mean streak that would scare a badger.

LMAO

What does the prostate have to do with bladder control?

The urethra runs through the prostate.
The valving is located there.
Prostate disease, and/or surgery often results in loss of bladder control.

What a clown!

[Servant of the 9]

I'll admit to having been called "LOW" and even "Loathesome" and I do think women belong on top, after all, they weigh less.

[TBall]

I don't mind the smell.

[Palladin]

You must be of my generation.

We really understood what it was all about.

I really feel sorry for the kids.

I have one son, poor fella, whose wife cut him off completely after their one and only child was born...15 years ago!

He is a saint in my book for remaining faithful to her, and at the same time living like a monk in his own house.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Congratulations to you and your wife!

[Palladin]

Good post, Joe!

God bless you for raising those two grandkids. They are lucky to have you.

I care a lot about other people. I just don't want to end up divorced and broke.

Lots of people are indeed called to celibacy by God. Paul even implies that celibacy is a spiritually preferable state to marriage.

However, you are celibate for the wrong reason. You are celibate out of a fear of rejection, and also because you want to keep your money. What if Paul and the other apostles took a "they might behead me, so I won't even preach at all" attitude? All of the apostles except one were put to death, and the other one was imprisoned for life when boiling him in oil didn't work. And you're scared because someone might take half the house?

God may indeed be calling you to celibacy, but I strongly suggest that you spend time in prayer over the reasons why. It's obvious that your current reasons did not come from either God or the Bible.

Possibly, but one of the wives was an exotic dancer. Thought that would be a guy's dream marriage...you know, lots of sex and wild nights.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

If she is a stripper, does that mean she is at home most nights?

Yooooo hooooooooo! Never say never Mr. Morals!"

A lot of these problems, if they are not physically related, sound like ones of not listening to, or disobedience to the Bible.

Christian married couples are COMMANDED to have sex...it’s a duty to one's partner.

"For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." (I Corinthians 7:4, 5)

A spouse who doesn't....frustrating their partner, just because they "don't feel like it" is not being loving to that partner. And, they're being disobedient to God.

We have His word on it. DITTO.
