I'm guessing that 77 women have"liked" your answer! Yes, really it's not rocket science,why women become disengaged from the sexual side of their marriages... In fact, I would say that it is probably the clearest indicator of how COMFORTABLE she feels with HIM!! And if she doesn't respond well to his advances,then there's a VERY high chance that she knows exactly how she is being viewed, and her role in the "relationship"(to give him what he wants!) She DOESN'T feel nurtured, cherished or even cared about as a PERSON .. she is just a TOOL to help him get what he wants. The world is full of selfish, arrogant men... and that is at the heart of the problem,I believe. Look at crime statistics... our prisons, domestic violence... I'm not trying to "hate" on men, but honestly,we have to see things for how they are! It's the men who need to do the growing and learning, for the most part... Women need to focus away from the man, and onto Jesus, it's true... and on supportive church and family members and quite often, on healing from abuse that the husband has inflicted on his wife, when he couldn't get his own way.

There is a mountain more to marriage for a man than that. He grows in humility and service, he feels what Christ felt for the church, while trying to imitate him, he has a helper and a partner for when it’s too much for him alone, he has a second opinion on things... I thought I was called to celibacy for the past few years. I wanted to serve God alone and didn’t see much benefit in marriage. Then God placed this girl in my life and I knew she was a gift to me. I thought a lot about what marriage really is, until I came to the conclusion that I should marry to serve God better

Dr. Piper, God has given you much wisdom. I so enjoy these little talks because they just make me want to live a more holy life. Thank you so much.

Horrible and useess reply. 1) There is no mystery as to “how do you decide who is ‘in charge’ of deciding the frequency of sex?” Paul in I Cor 7:1-9 could not be more explicit: it is whichever spouse has the highest libido at that point in time. How do I know? Because both parties are told not to deprive the other. DUH! Just read. You cannot deprive your partner by HAVING sex. 2) If your wife (or husband) is not enjoying sex, the most likely reason is that you are not doing it right. Not surprising, and not really your fault. You were given 12 years or more of formal instruction in writing a proper English sentence and exactly no formal training in producing a female orgasm. It ain’t rocket science but it’s not intuitive and it takes practice and knowledge you were denied by ignorant pastors who don’t follow their own advice. I am going to recommend a book called the ACT of Marriage by Tim and Beverly La Haye for Christians that might help. If you can get her off regularly, she will enjoy sex more as God intended and be less reluctant to do so regularly and you will feel better about it. 3) The only thing Piper is right about is that if you are more reluctant one, it is your duty to get into the spirit of the act - even if you do have to fake it. There is nothing less sexually satisfying than having to make love to an emotional corpse. 4) To the low libido spouse - do yourself a favor and make love to your spouse as often as you can. They have no other legitimate outlet for their God-given urges. You are it. If you want them to be faithful, quit checking their phone and computer and drain their libido as often as you can. If you say you love them, then don’t force

For me the hardest part of desiring to have sex with my wife comes from past trauma. I understand and relate more with the lack of desire as a man.

Great commentary, pastor John!

I've always wondered why women who aren't absolutely (physically and emotionally) thrilled about having marital relations at every opportunity keep getting married. Status and emotional pressure, I suppose? To prevent these situations, the church ought to value singleness as highly as God does, so that a low-libido woman doesn't feel like she's missing out relationally in foregoing marriage. And then the males with sex drives will have to marry us overlooked sisters in church who are burning (though we may be more plain than the cute+popular, non-sex-loving girls). :)

I feel ya, bro. I serve in women's ministry, so I know all about those refusing husbands (ugh). I hope, going forward, we the church can be more upfront about how integral sex is to marriage. I mean, Paul does indeed say in 1 Cor 7: need sex? definitely get married. don't need sex? definitely don't get married. It seems like all the Christian "general marriage" books I've read just have a slim, euphemistic chapter on sex toward the end, but I think it should be one of the main things we talk about when we help young ones decide whether or not they should pursue marriage. I really, really wish we had a standard, non-creepy way to ask prospects in the getting-to-know-you stage, "Are you super eager for and committed to having regular married sex (not considering extraordinary, unforseeable events)?" Maybe something like: "So, 1 Corinthians 7:4-5, what do you think? A. Terrible! B. Yes, fiiiiine (willing to do so I can be validated by a relationship and post nice instagram photos of our wedding), or C. Amen and alleluia! :D This requires serious obedience!!" If you answered C, congratulations, you possess the first step toward marriageability. Hahaha.

There's not way to adequately vet potential mates under this standard unless we allow premarital sex. I'm not advocating one way or another, but many virgins are awakened, sexually, after marriage. Same for non-virgins who abstained for a period before marriage or before they met their spouse. Those people would be tricked into loneliness if we encouraged them not to marry because they weren't super excited to have sex whilst single / dating / engaged.

Hi, Cay! :) My comment was not meant to insult anyone, so I'm sorry if it did. I'm just trying to see things Biblically, not according to our culture (which shallowly demands marriage for emotional validation). Paul does advocate for marriage /when/ legitimate sex is needed for a person to live in a moral way that is pleasing to God; however, if a Christian doesn't strongly desire sex, singleness is better (1 Cor. 7). If one is happy without regular intercourse, it's scripturally ideal to remain a virgin and find safety and transparency and lifelong companionship in the body of Christ . :) "That is so shallow and maybe that’s why God has not trusted you with a husband." Hm, Cay, I find that comment concerning. Do you think that might sound rather like the prosperity gospel?

You, sir, are an amzing gift for all Christians out there! Never dissapointed when listening to these videos (and i have listened to a lot)!

Once each other started feeling not peaceful inside the marriage.. Sexual intimacy affected. I've been there.

I don't see it as a sin to talk about sex before you get marriage. Both at length and in detail, as long as it isn't causing you temptation you can't overcome. I think many people think they can't talk about it, which prolongs wrong expectations. In a way see marriage as saying "no" to every other woman, and even if your wife loses the ability, your life can still be whole without sex. If there's something you can't live without besides God, it is an idol, and you never truly enjoy idols anyway.

It is a relationship problem not a sexual problem. I as a woman would much rather talk. To me talking and connection is intimacy. This is a complex issue. If a person feels used and not loved than why would they want to submit to being used? Again, complex issue and men and women are so different. In my experience simple answers are quite painful. We need empathy and compassion.

The pastor rightly addressed several of the reasons for a dysfunctional sexual relationship save for two: physical appeal and a cold demeanor. Just as men don’t drool over frumpy women or women with irritating character flaws, so is the case with women when it comes to men. I do not mean to be insulting to the question poser, but I do encourage him to ask his wife over a nice dinner what he can do to improve to make her happy - whether in looks, energy, performance. Being godly doesn’t necessarily translate to fireworks in bed, but it helps the couple be more open, communicative, loving, and understanding of each other’s needs and how to satisfy one another by making changes where needed as long as they’re in keeping with the word of God.

The Bible is the inspired word of God, but context matters. We love to take scriptures out of context and elevate them to laws. Has anyone ever considered who and what challenges Paul was addressing in the text? It’s my understanding there was sexual immorality in the church. Matt, is your wife sexually attracted to you? Does she trust you and feel secure in the relationship? Do you love each other unconditionally? My husband and I have gone back and forth on this for more than 20 years and I had to confess that though we seemed to fit on paper, the love we’re expressing for each other is conditional. Read SoS. The bride says, where is he whom my soul loves? Soulful love is unconditional (lacks reasoning). Rather than arguing and bitterness, self-reflect and be willing to have difficult conversations.

Divorce her now, and don't look back. And for your struggle with abstinence (pre-marriage), your parents failed you when you were growing up. Sex should be viewed as a healthy and very normal part of life, but should be reserved for a special person that you love. Unfortunately, modern society has failed everyone and has killed marriage in general. I would say not to get married anymore. Just find a girlfriend (that you love) to have sex with. But do not forget the most important part of life as a Christian. We MUST have a personal, open, private, and trusting relationship with the Lord, our God. Pray unceasingly, talk with Him, and keep your eyes focused on Him.

The problem is no one abstains anymore. Everyone comes with past lovers baggages. So when you are with her she is busy thinking "Dave did it better". But if Dave never existed she would only know you and only you. And yes ladies this works both ways.

Friend I know you are on the defensive but honestly I mean you no harm, although I may be capable of tough love at most, this is the internet afterall, no time or purpose for stroking egos. The real benefit of our communication is that the next person that comes along can have the choice over what we say is good or bad for them. Unusually someone can take heed of another’s advice directly but that requires communion rather communication alone. Taoism is not a religion it is a philosophy derived from 64 arrangements of hexagrams. 78 if including trigrams bigrams and grams (might be another word for that lol), incidentally this is the quantity of cards in a traditional tarot deck. This philosophy is equally paralleled in Kabbalha. Although not well interpreted often. That is the pitfall of all religious/ spiritual/ philosophical teachings. To consummate your understanding of the book you must find these parallels in others. As the complete picture has never been fully revealed, definitely not within our lifetimes. Consider Islam, when Baghdad fell to the Mongols, their society the understanding the original/ complete wealth of knowledge was never fully recovered not by a long shot. Next to that consider the European affect on the original practicing of Christianity, it may fascinate you to learn as it does I that, the Ethiopian Bible is the oldest and most complete version ever found. If you watch the Book of Eli film you will understand the backstory of it somewhat. It has over a hundred books within it including all that we are familiar with. This is canonical Christianity. Try to imagine that we have never been in possession of the complete document, we are not playing with a full deck of cards as they say. It may be that many of them are marked too if you catch my drift. I intend to read them all someday, what should we be afraid of finding but that which shall shake our truth. There may be many different words for God but it is the same for everybody within their own unique lives, it is all things. Also Tantra is an understanding of a sacred practice, by cultivating inner peace and absolute respect for the holiness of another, the experience of pure love can be attained that is the elixir of life, you do not have to adopt a new religion to bring in any of its wisdom. That is the value of your personal insight that which allows you to discern what is right for you and what is wrong regardless of who is speaking beyond any affiliation or agendas. To take what is useful and discard the rest that is pragmatism. Tantra is a system of knowledge in the pursuit of ultimate truth; Pranayama is another component, that is yoga for breathing. Even the understanding of yoga is all the result of natural observations in movement, that is healthy movement or breathing techniques for any person. Such exercises should not be lost to any Christian, not one whose sincerest desire is to be closest (if not at one with) that which is called God. They should all be incorporated. Ultimately they must or Kingdom of Heaven does not return to us. If you do not understand that Jesus himself would have studied such techniques and philosophies then all may be lost. The same may be said of Buddha too of course. The song remains the same.

Every time I hear this topic, usually from a man, I always wonder if he is dealing with sexual immorality.

Just like money, it’s the abuse of sex or rather its use outside the permissible boundaries of marriage that tarnishes its sanctity and goodness. Asexuality is abnormal and contrary to God’s plan for the propagation of mankind through enjoyable conjugal martial relationship. Often the problem is inadequate or lack of communication in a relationship; and that inevitably results in apathy, scorn, or disgust to build up over time. If left unaddressed, it often leads to depression, self-loathing, and isolation on the one end or to slipping into other sinful behaviors such as eating disorders, adultery, lust, or pornography on the other end. I also think that physical looks do matter, in addition to a godly character; when it comes to looks, I’m not talking about celebrity looks but rather a man or a woman who takes care of their looks and hygiene to an appropriate degree; and that is essential to sexual appeal. Frankly, there’s really no substitute to timely and open communication between the man and the woman to ensure they don’t fall into sinful behavior.

I met a woman in church and ultimately married her. On our honeymoon she confessed that she had been an escort and did not like sex. During our entire 14 year marriage she refused oral sex; our union was a nightmare. I heard a few years ago the she had stolen her sister's inheritance, had an affair with her best friend's husband (the pastor of her church). And she had a ton of plastic surgery at 64 y.o. Please get premarital counseling and get to know your mate well before marriage.

Or don't get married at all. It's just a ceremony anyway.

I'm in that situation except its my husband that doesn't want to have sex and that's a big blow to me as a female because it is always the other way around. So I'm always asking myself what I did or what's wrong with me? But then again, my husband was having heart issues this year, hes on different medications for it and he lost his job this year. We actually both lost our jobs, so stress is indeed a downer. Totally understandable. But then I find out he was watching pornography. And he gets upset when I tell him that it hurts me when I try to get him to...come to me. And he just doesn't want to. Or he's tired or doesn't feel good... We've been together almost 5 years.. I pray every day for God to just not make me desire sexual intimacy like I have been. Because there are other ways of intimacy and I know he does love me because he shows it in other ways. All the time.

Porn addiction is extremely prevalent in Christian homes today. Destroying marriages and families. The Church is silent about it probably because there is so many in the congregation that struggles with this silent, hidden sin. It destroys wives, and men become disinterested in sex with their wife because Of porn induced ED in many incidents. It needs to be exposed and really a cause of focus for healing and deliverance ministry . Satan is quite smart in how diabolical this perversion is destroying intimacy and connection in the marriage covenant.

As someone who is a Christian but also a realist, so many Christian families from my experience, are not compatible in bed. Realistically unless you've tried before, you won't know. Sadly I feel some of the teachings about sex before marriage is simply hard to fathom as generally, again from my experience, women in god have somehow been taught that sex is not important to the point where they simply do not have any interest in it at all. In this case take a bible out of the equation, simply a low sex drive is this guys wife's problem. Not saying its her 'fault' biologically, but low sex drive is generally stemmed, in regards to the Christian faith, from a mentality that sex just isn't all that important and isn't for pleasure. I'm married and also do not agree that "women who have sex before marriage are destined to fail" - paraphrased from the other podcast Ep 827. I waited for my first girlfriend who i wanted to marry but quickly learnt that we were just not compatible after talking about sex. Just like you slowly find out about how relationships work and what dictates a good and bad relationship, sex is just as important. I find its slightly irresponsible to say "even without sexual desires she has other good desires to please you". Realistically THIS is really what most cheating stems from, lack of fulfillment. I'm sure its not her fault, and in the same way its not his fault, but as an adult, you cant really substitute sex with something else. Hope this guy finds something because, again real world talk, sex with a girl who's just not into it really sucks.

Dude this is why I don’t agree with no sex before marriage. You have a bunch of shitty, inexperienced lovers expected to be faithful like that sets up the relationship for failure 😂 people need to know that they actually like sharing the same bed with the person they are thinking about marrying. I believe in abstaining for a period of time in the beginning stages of dating but waiting allllll the way to marriage can be a mistake. This is like the worst-case scenario for any marriage that hasn’t lasted over a decade lol

There's so much to unpack in the response. I wish we could have had a female response though, it may have been wise to consult a spiritually mature female to respond to the wife and give advice to the husband because the female perspective (which is in question) is missing element in the equation. Also I wished the societal influences should have been addressed. With the church and society's disdain for females exploring their sexuality, I have heard females complain that it is difficult to change their mindset that sex is wrong even after marriage. I wish there was more emphasis placed on figuring out what the issue is instead of "Woman, pretend you like it" otherwise you are immature. Sometimes it feels like the church encourages lying to keep the peace. The truth will always come to light and its even more painful when you fight it. Everyone gets tired of pretending after a while especially if the core issue is not addressed. When I read the bible, as a woman, for much of it I see women being treated as objects, sex toys and a lot of the times their wishes and will arent taken into consideration. Sex is already so male-focused, so many women are already pretending. The response felt compassionate for the man, but scathing for a woman who is already trying to meet him half-way. I wish the response to the female was more understanding given this context. I think what would have really been helpful is suggesting ideas for him to connect and understand his wife more. He needs to ask her what she likes, if she doesnt know he needs to be committed to figuring it out (which may take years - make it a personal project), it will include trying to be attractive for her( dress better, go to the gym... etc), be patient with her. He needs to ask her about any previous unpleasant sexual encounters she has had.(was she molested?). Perhaps go to a counsellor or therapist, get a checkout at a doctor.

Love is extremely simple. And it’s not just some chemical in your brain. It’s a very spiritual thing. If you truly love someone, you want to be with them as much as possible, and make them as happy as possible. It’s as simple as that. If this is not reciprocated, or the issue of love languages comes up, then your partner simply does not love you. And if they are staying with you then they are manipulating and abusing you. In fact, the only reason that they got with you in the first place was so that they could get something out of you. It was never about love for them. They are using your desire for love to gain from you. And they will purposely withhold love or intimacy, making it seem like you just aren’t trying hard enough to please them or make them love you in return (i.e. your not speaking the right “love language”) Having someone try and find your “love language” is manipulation and abuse, plain and simple. You do not love that person, you are just dragging them along in a sick game that they never wanted to play with you. You are gaining while they are suffering. It is the definition of a parasitic relationship. If anyone talks about love languages while you are in a relationship with them, gtfo of there. And I am dead serious. Because as I live and breath, I promise that you will never be able to please them, and they will suck your life and soul right out of you. Slowly and painfully.. . , Edit box

One of the problems that may not be addressed in this Q&A is how the husband is making love to his wife. It could be that something about him or what he's doing is unattractive to her, which is a real heartbreaking thing because these two made vows to each other and should be supporting each other long before the marriage got to this point.

*We enjoy sex..are we doing something wrong? lol.* To be fair, my husband is very helpful & gentle w/ me and our kids while being still being the head of household.

The takeaway is that it is good for a man not to touch a woman at all and save a lot of grief and misery as per 1 Cor. 7:1. And married or not, pornography is never the answer to anything.

Take joy in the grace of God, but what about communicating with her about why she doesn't like sex with her husband? It's hard to give helpful advice about a marital sexual problem without knowing why there is a martial sexual problem. Does she know how to communicate her sexual interests? Does he? Is sex physically or emotionally painful for her? I don't understand how you can go on for 11 minutes giving advice without, well, giving advice. There is a reason why she doesn't like sex with her husband. I get that this is a Christian based video but really, I don't see how quoting the bible but not addressing why she doesn't enjoy sex is helpful to her or to him.

this advice is ignoring the statement. the lack of abilty to receive pleasure from sex. instead he talks about how you should enjoy the desire of pleasing your spouse. John that wasnt mentioned as a problem for there relationship so why assume it is? so you can fix an issue you think you can easily explain? what is your response(even if you have no advice) to the PROBLEM of not reciveing arrousel or even climax from your spouse. we're talking physical tips not just emotional tips. becuz physical explaination is needed when talking about sexual performance. after all the idea is you can go to God for any issue in life and get answers guidence and solutions and he does this thru spiritual leaders that hear his messages to pass along. so this means pastor john is seen as the voice of God. there for pastor john should be able to answer this with detail and no shame. most importantly sexual pleasure is not only important but is needed for marriage. especially for the persons desiring to be pleased it isnt selfish of course to expect pleasure your built up to not only crave it but also recieve it.

@outofsyncaddiction

3 жыл бұрын

This is a complicated question, but the first advice I would offer is this: do not underestimate or resist God's ability to heal these wounds of trauma. God's love and grace and healing are so great and so powerful that he absolutely can work in this traumatized person's life and heal their wounds and help them to enjoy and participate in sex without fear. This person shouldn't dismiss sex as something they will never want, even if that is their current reality. (And that's okay.) If they are in a relationship, they should be open and honest about their trauma and worries with the man or woman that they are in a serious relationship with, and depend on wisdom and discernment from the Spirit to guide them on when the time is right to have those conversations with a potential spouse. And they should allow God to work in their heart and mind and body for healing. That might involve turning to psychological professionals to support them in working through their trauma. And it may take a lot of time, and that's okay too. But while they are determined not to have sex, they should not pursue marriage, because that would mean they were determined to deprive their spouse permanently of what Scripture says we should not deprive them of. Depending on an individual's circumstances that may mean not dating until the sexual trauma is healed, or if they are already in a relationship, not marrying their partner until the sexual trauma is healed. "Healed" is also a complicated term. Trauma can be healed enough that a person is ready to have sex with a loving, gentle spouse, despite still being a struggle in a persons life at times. This is a complicated subject and this answer will not be sufficient for or apply to every single person who has experienced sexual trauma, but I hope it helps as a jumping-off point. Sexual trauma is an awful thing to endure and I hope that whoever you are referring to has gentle, loving support around them to help them. My heart aches for anyone who has had this happen to them.

@@user-pj9ho1lv3f That is a very unique situation, thank you for explaining. It's wonderful that they are seeking God and are open to His work in their lives. My concern for them is this: The non-traumatized partner may be okay with not having sex for now, but what if in the future they can no longer bear it and are "burning with passion" as the Scripture says? If the other person is not yet healed and not willing to have sex, then they may open the door for frustration and resentment. It may open the door for the temptation of sexual sin, against which marital sex is a powerful weapon, and this frustration and disagreement would ultimately harm both of them. It is true that sex is just one part of marriage, but it is SUCH an important part of marriage, and it shouldn't be overlooked. Since God's design is perfect, he didn't design marriage to involve this beautiful, pleasurable, unifying act that represents Christ and His Church, for a married couple to say "lovely, but no thank you, not for us." A married couple is not "intimate in every way" if they are not sexually intimate. Sex shouldn't be tossed aside as unimportant. (Obviously right now, they're not supposed to be sexually intimate, but if they marry, that would be a proper intimacy for a married couple.) Perhaps, if these two people are so content without any sexual relations at all, they have the gift of singleness and shouldn't be married? I do not know them, I am only wondering. Are the two people members of a church? Do they have a wise pastor who can help guide them through this? I cannot stress this enough, I am far from the ultimate expert or the ultimate authority in this matter. And I agree, it is sad to think that they shouldn't get married (or at least not right now). But I do know this: sometimes God gives us very, very hard answers to our desires. And this means answering God with obedience even when it's hard, and asking him to help us obey his will because it is always ultimately for our good. Proverbs 3:5-6, 1 Peter 5:6-7, Romans 8:28. Maybe I'm wrong in this matter, but I stand by what I said. I do hope that no matter what, this couple listens to God, and studies what Scripture has to say about sex and marriage, and relies on the wisdom of good spiritual leaders to make a wise decision in this matter. It is encouraging to know that they seek the Lord diligently already and that they are loving with one another. I hope that God blesses them with understanding, courage, and serenity. Like you said, maybe all that is needed is more time, and if they wait, in God's time, the trauma will heal and they will marry.

This doesn’t solve anything. If two are equally unselfish and one wants sex but the other doesn’t then the want will equally flip back and forth for infinity.. do they have sex or not? Two opposing wants can’t happen at the same time. One will be getting what they want and the other won’t be getting what they want.

This woman is obviously not attracted to her husband. He should focus on becoming his best self physically, spiritually and emotionally then the other will come frequently. I feel bad for the guy but he may have brought this on himself.

There is no marriage (sexual intercourse) between other people in heaven. Marriage between a man and woman is a symbol of the marriage of Jesus to the church which is far better. There is no childbearing in heaven because God will give the childless a name and place better than sons and daughters. Heaven may not be a paradise of sexual intercourse, childbearing, and the sea (the sea will be no more), but God will make heaven far better than these. Luke 20:34-36 34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Isaiah 56:4-5 4 For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. Ephesians 5:31-33 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Revelation 21:1 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 1 Corinthians 2:9 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Thank you! I was married to a woman who was incredibly spiteful in this regard. We were celibate for years, and ultimately she left the faith, then me.

The concept of marital intimacy is more a problm with the west. In asians,the moment wer married we loose ourselves in it. The children become 1st place in everything we do. Yet, strangely we hav minimal divorces. Marriage is the biggest destroyer of desire, wants,etc. Becoz you cannot Want wat you already have.(ul not say you want pizza wen ur eating it) .In a marriage commitment becomes central. Marrige is a nurturing place. At least this is wat asians thinks of it. Tats why, divorces are rare. "Men are from mars,women from venus"-centralize only on one theme, sexual atrraction increases wen we dnt have it. The joy in the chase not the prize. Somerset worte, "the biggest tragedy of love is not death, nor separation, but indifference. "the strongest love is alwayz unrequited love. Becoz we cannot desire wat we already have. And marriage does tat exactly. Tats why a marriage has to be sumthing else other than sex.malaci 2:15-"the purpose of marrige is to produce godly offsprings".

Women are not from mars you imbecile!women are from God, made by the hands of God, taken from Adams rib....women are flesh of our flesh & blood of our blood....be careful where you get all that info from because it isnt of God.....america is very loose & rebellious & that's why we have so much divorce but if you arent having good, pleasurable sex with your wife & have completely given up and saying that sex is just to make babies then I suggest you stay clear away from the songs of Solomon buddy....if you're not enjoying sex with your wife then dont try to convince others that its normal, especially in that wannabe internet psychologist, college professor tone....I'll think ankutbalowing down sex when I'm about 80 years old, till then you just keep convincing yourself that life isnt pleasurable

What if your wife is medically unable ? I was asked this.

Then obviously she can’t accommodate her husband.

There is always a reason Fisical or emocional. Everyone craves intimacy. You won't find mutual pleasure if you don't know the reason. Ask her why and start from there. Work with a christian sex therapist or counselor or psicologist. Hope you can work through it.

If I can be totally honest, this potential reality terrifies me. I am currently dating a godly woman and intend to propose this year. We are both waiting for marriage and I know that she loves me but there is definitely an underlying fear building that I’m going to be turned aside by her or unwanted sexually. Or even if wanted, not enjoyed the same way. This has caused me much heartache over something I don’t even know the reality of yet.😅 Does anyone have some input on this?

Yes my now husband of twenty three years waited until marriage. I'm very thankful God gave both of us the strength to wait. There's a saying women are like an oven and men are like a microwave. Be patient with her and have understanding from her wants and needs outside of the bedroom as well. It can be difficult but it's worth waiting. It only brought us closer to each other emotionally and physically. Hope this helps.

I'm that spouse that doesn't enjoy sex. 8 years in marriage. I think he is selfish. Finishes in 2 minutes. I just like to focus on my kids. They give me the joy I will never get out of this marriage. But I pray for a 2nd chance at love... I think God will have me experience true love from a man in this life b4 I join him in Heaven!

That man can very well be your current husband. God is able to transform your marriage whether or not it seems possible/likely.

So what do you do when she flatly refuses to have sex period? I have a high level sex drive and it is physically uncomfortable and need to have a release... The problem is that I know that "other methods" are wrong in His eyes and I'm frustrated... I want to honor God in all I do.. In every other way, our marriage is good... We have been married for almost 18 years now

For some people, romantic attraction and sexual attraction are not the same. Also, some people just have a low sex drive generally, regardless of how attracted to someone they are.

The problem is that sex has become such a lustful thing this day and age. IT REALLY makes me wonder how many married godly couples lust after each other in the flesh instead of the way God commends married godly couples to do. Or Sadly even lust after other people outside of the marriage. I This was very sadly something I saw in most of the marriages I would observe when I had more contact with married couples, some godly and some not. That is also a HUGE factor in a man or woman's lack of desire for one another. God tells us NOT lust of the flesh and as I stated already, I REALLY wonder how often that happens. Not wanting each other for the right reasons

When the love is gone it turns into a saladda biscuit and there’s nothing you can do about it .most of the men I know that’s been divorced including myself it’s the first sign of the beginning of the end.who s heard the joke about the boy who goes to the chemist with he’s dad and finds the condoms and says to he’s dad what are these for he’s dad said they’re used for safe sex ,son says why are there only 3 in this box he’s dad says they’re for high school kids 1for Friday. 1 for Saturday and 1 for Sunday then the son says then what’s this box of 6 for .dad says they’re for university students 2for Friday,2 for Saturday and 2 for Sunday then the son says then who are these boxes of 12 for he’s dad says with a tear in he’s eyes they’re for married people 1 for January 1 for February and so on.

avoid sex avoid marriage Stay single dont ask married people For advice Mix only with singles

Their problem is Seek first the kingdom of heaven and righteousness Rest every thing will follow The person asking question is filled with evil sprit, which is asking question inside him. Holy sprit would have told him that every thing is perfect, so praise the lord, amen

john, you claim that sex is a mutual give and take, yet to look at you, one would find it difficult to imagine that you could satisfy a woman. how does a charlatan soft boy like you, pull it off?
