A second theory could be that there was neither pain nor pleasure in any part of concieving and bearing children until the Fall, it was just something necessary to do with no other implications attached. After the Fall, bearing children became painful, so maybe God allowed humans to have pleasure in concieving children to humanity in order, again, that humanity would not die out.
I thought VOW was a man!!

Ladies do yourselves a favour,
If you strongly believe and insist that sex in marriage is ONLY STRICTLY for procreation and nothing else, please by all means, let the poor man you're are going to marry know well in advance!!! It'll save him a lot of frustration and cold showers.
And it'll save you a lot of heartache too, cos he'll prob be tempted to get his satisfaction elsewhere.
take it from us guys (well, majority), who know better how the male body works.
be fair, at least let him know your stand.
Not in the conception of the child, in the birth of the child.Originally posted by I can eat 50 eggs
sorry, that just doesn't hold up to scripture. When pronouncing punishment on Eve, God said he would "INCREASE" her pain. THerefore, there had to be pain originally.

BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm just laughin' my way through this thread. I agree heartily with Andrew's plea.
Yes, there is. But, do any of those scriptures state that contraception is OK? The Onan narrative tells us that contraception is sinful, no?
There have been many good scriptures giving God's "stamp of approval", for the enjoyment of a man and woman who are married to each other.
Did you have the hysterectomy done to avoid the "hassle" of having children, or for a serious medical reason?
If it's true that sex is for creation only and I am not married and I had a hysterectomy last year would that mean that I could get married but never have sex? What would be the point of getting married? In that scenario it would not be sinful to co-habitate.
I have never been molested or raped.
Now, to get a little more serious. To those who believe that sex is only for creation only, have you sought God's opinion on the root of your thinking such a thing? Were you perhaps molessted, abused, and/or raped somewhere in your past? Just a thought. These are emotions that God heals and will set you free. I know from personal experience.

Susan,
My intent was not to be insulting.
Yes, I read it, I just did not remember that part. Sorry.

The bible doesn't say anything about contraceptives(sp?) but does say all of these things. So if you want to be a baby factory......I'll be praying for you.

Origianally posted by A Sheep Co-habitating is wrong, but not only because of the increased temptation and availability of fornication. It's wrong for other reasons as well. Hurting your witness as Christians, it really is bad for the relationship, and even if you do get married the divorce rate is much higher for couples that cohabit before marriage.
I have never been molested or raped.
