[QUOTE="StephanieSomer, post: 68108418, member: 348715"] I recognize that truth. And I would hope all married spouses do also, as I'm sure you would agree. However, emotions don't always coincide with our understanding as they should. Whether or not that is wrong is not something I will address. But, I'm sure you do recognize that emotions can affect how we react. Often, with poor results. If one partner has a libido much higher than the other, one of them is going to end up feeling used all the time, while the other ends up feeling rejected. It's a difficult quandary, but it happens. And, it happens a lot more than people think. Since God obviously gives the ultimate power of choice over the satisfaction of the spouse to the partner, that spouse DOES have the authority, under God, to allow their partner permission to find temporary satisfaction, if they so choose. Read your quote carefully. It doesn't say that God has authority over his/her body. It says the spouse does. So, in the very verse you quoted is, I believe, the Scriptural formula under which masturbation IS acceptable, before God, in a marriage. [/QUOTE]
