We pick n choose when it comes to the Bible. When it says "pray always" it's literal but when it says "let them satisfy you always" it not. It's ridiculous. My wife shut down months after ceremony and in all 5 yrs she never Once initiated or kissed me. Then she divorced me for un biblical reasons not cheating no abuse. She had past trauma. I still hold her as my wife I can't remarry so I'm alone till death at 43 unless God bring her back healed.
I can relate on many levels. Experienced something similar myself. But eventually I remarried. If she formally divorced you, why are you still considering her as your wife? She clearly is not. Do you think it pleases God for you to remain alone for the rest of your days? That would make Him terribly cruel, which I do not believe He is. I pray that you will be able to let go of this chapter and find a good woman to marry someday.
@Check-lv3ku baptism isn't a piece of paper so why is marriage? Biblical marriage is staying with the same person all your life. Just because the government or my spouse thinks she's divorced doesn't mean It's a divorce. Be careful with making an idol out of God by thinking He would do this or that or say this or say that. I made a promise and I'm sticking to it. Standing on God's word and promise not what I think. He changed me and others i know along with millions of other testimonies so why can't he change my spouses heart? I'm not going to limit His power or the Holy spirit
That is correct sir and it’s biblical. The word Fornication, used by Jesus as the exception for divorce in the Bible, is thee most mistranslated word because in the English it means Premarital sex…. Which isn’t what fornication means. Fornication means a plethora of things and not limited to sexual immorality. It’s anything that is unrestrained and that’s going against the COVENANTAL STANDARDS OF MARRIAGE….. Period! Churches are not teaching this and it’s a HUGE problem.
@@billybladezz9370 If she's not going to, she's not going to. She knows. She understands. She doesn't want to and her husband cannot force her. A man has 2 choices: a) stay and endure a nearly sexless or sexless marriage or b) divorce the woman who is violating marriage covenant. If she had been honest before marriage and instead of allowing the reasonable expectation of her husband to stand, that she would engage with him as an active sex partner, and instead revealed that she wasn't going to be sexually active with him and was going to withhold sex, he wouldn't have married her. She married him in deceit. He should divorce her. She knows. She understands. Talking doesn't help.
@@billybladezz9370Yeah but that doesn’t mean divorce isn’t necessary. People don’t fear divorce enough. God had to divorce Israel because if He didn’t the entire world would’ve gone in flames.
The Song of Songs is not an erotic love poem. It is a dark tragedy about the 400'th wife of a womanizer, who is the flavor of the day as the new girl -- _for now_ -- but knows she will not be for long. Yet, she cannot resist the material temptation to marry the wise and wealthy King of the Jews. What girl could? When the honeymoon is over, the speaker in the poem is in for a world of pain, and she knows it. I find the book sad and foreboding.
This is completely messed up. The passages you picked from 1 Corinthians 7 are not a commandment but a concession, says Paul in 1 Corinthians 7:6. The notion that a sexless marriage is not OK is ridiculous, the main objective of sex is reproduction. If the couple does not want any more kids, it is perfectly fine to have a sexless marriage, it is actually preferable as long as the couple agrees. Because when we turn sex into anything else other than reproduction, we are extolling lust, regardless whether it is in marriage or outside of marriage lust is something the bible condemns. That being said, within marriage lust is not counted as sin and the marital bed remains undefiled. Luther was very clear that any form of sexual activity within marriage or outside marriage was sinful, however within marriage it is not counted against us. So for you to suggest that God wants us to have sex within marriage for intimacy, it is completely off base, unless the sexual activity has as its sole goal reproduction. By the way, e bible calls intimacy lust. Wha you call being intimate with your wife, I call it being sinful or committing sin with your wife. Luther and the Reformers were clear, sex is sinful, within or outside marriage it doesn’t matter, it is a sin. Within marriage God does not count it as sin, He forgives it, He does not impute it, but just because God does not count it against us does not mean we should encourage married couples to sin by being intimate, except as a concession due to our weakness of the flesh, 1 Corinthians 7:6. Here it is the link to Luther condemning sex within marriage, digitalcommons.andrews.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5970&context=pubs#:~:text=Luther%20concedes%20that%20although%20sex,hidden%20and%20forgiven%20by%20God.
1 Corinthians 7:3-5 New International Version "3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."
The third case for divorce is that in which one of the parties deprives and avoids the other, refusing to fulfill the conjugal duty or to live with the other person. For example, one finds many a stubborn wife like that who will not give in, and who cares not a whit whether her husband falls into the sin of unchastity ten times over. Here it is time for the husband to say, “If you will not, another will; the maid will come if the wife will not.” Only first the husband should admonish and warn his wife two or three times, and let the situation be known to others so that her stubbornness becomes a matter of common knowledge and is rebuked before the congregation. If she still refuses, get rid of her; take an Esther and let Vashti go, as King Ahasuerus did [Esther 1:12‑2:17]. Here you should be guided by the words of St. Paul, I Corinthians 7 [:4‑5], “The husband does not rule over his own body, but the wife does; likewise the wife does not rule over her own body, but the husband does. Do not deprive each other, except by agreement,” etc. Notice that St. Paul forbids either party to deprive the other, for by the marriage vow each submits his body to the other in conjugal duty. When one resists the other and refuses the conjugal duty she is robbing the other of the body she had bestowed upon him. This is really contrary to marriage, and dissolves the marriage. For this reason the civil government must compel the wife, or put her to death. If the government fails to act, the husband must reason that his wife has been stolen away and slain by robbers; he must seek another. We would certainly have to accept it if someone’s life were taken from him. Why then should we not also accept it if a wife steals herself away from her husband, or is stolen away by others? www.lutherdansk.dk/Web-Living%20as%20husband%20and%20wife/Living%20as%20husband%20and%20wife.htm

I think as a nation we have what's coming to us
Are you married and how often do you and your wife do it (male to female).....why are you asking others....!
My comment was deleted.
I still say that if a man's wife cuts the sex that is a violation of marriage covenant and the man should divorce her.
Agreed. The husband and wife are not friends.
God hates divorce that's scripture! Maybe try talking and working it out forgiveness etc.

1 Corinthians 7:3-5
New International Version
"3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."
If you can provide scripture from the bible that says sex even in holy matrimony is a sin, that would be great.
The third case for divorce is that in which one of the parties deprives and avoids the other, refusing to fulfill the conjugal duty or to live with the other person. For example, one finds many a stubborn wife like that who will not give in, and who cares not a whit whether her husband falls into the sin of unchastity ten times over.

A sexless marriage is NOT OKAY. Keep quiet or never get married. You are a fool.
