I mean it is rare for preachers to teach against free expression of intimacy in marriage.

That's what I was reading from you, CS. I agree.

That would be almost as self-defeating as preaching against tithing!!!!!!

Ah...I see...I was looking at the other side of it. People who still hold to that line of thinking.

Right. I would have to question the integrity of the teacher. They would have to have some pent up issues, I would think.

This was the first time I ever heard it myself. And to respond to the 2nd quote, yes, he DOES have some issues. I have no idea what they are or what sort of environment he grew up in to hold his particular viewpoints, but obviously something happened to give him a warped view of marriage.

Many years ago, I heard a Pastor tell another young man in my presence when the act was discreetly alluded to, "Just suppose Jesus returned right in the middle of you and your wife participating in that act!"

After thinking about that for some time, I started laughing my head off while I thought of the many possible senarios in such an event.

Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

you get the picture.

If it weren't a problem, I doubt they would have to teach this.

The Mrs.,
Now on my end of it. I got in church when I was 26 and now I was supposed to be holy. How was I going to balance that out? And who do you talk to about that? I think that can also be an issue for some woman.
