  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Regardless..I dont think that means there is something wrong with someone not wanting to pee with someone else watching them..I just dont even think about it I got in a habit being the stay at home mom now everyone thinks they can pee with the door open so oh well..

And poop? I dont know about heaven but I hope to God I dont have to endure the odor of a bunch of peopels poop either..that doesnt sound very heavenly ..

Right. There's no wrong and no right in it at all. What the OP talked about was a good balance - they read each other's texts and emails, and they don't worry or fuss about it. That's all good - I think it's great. More personal stuff, like sharing a bathroom - that doesn't work for me. Fine if others like it, all well and good, but I don't feel required by God to urinate in my bathroom while my husband brushes his teeth .. or vice versa.

Although there is continuity between this life and life in a redeemed earth, Paul tells us that reality is beyond our imagining. We mustn't get too concerned about details, and lose sight of the great hope we have and that it will be truly wonderful.

It will be wonderful, I have no doubt. But I'm not going to worry about whether I need to be using the bathroom at the same time as my husband while we were alive. It just doesn't compute.

Well for me its not that I "like" it..its here nor there to me IOW I dont think aobut it one way or the other doesnt bother me or turn me on..just "is"..

And i agree that its not 'right or wrong"..or of some deep spiritual Biblical meaing about The Father Son and the Holy Spirit..or becoming "one"..

For the most part I wouldn't mind if my husband checked my e-mails, I've never asked him too, but he has the password--mainly if something happens to me and he needed to check my e-mail. I don't check his, and have no desire too.

I have a girl scout e-mail for the service unit that he does not have access too. I would be very upset if he was snooping around in there since some issues that I get e-mailed are private issues involving other leaders and girls. He does not need to know about those things. For example: he does not need to know how much money troop______ has in their account or if Leader ________ is worried that little girl________ is showing signs of sexual abuse and how should she handle that situation.

He also has an e-mail account from the company he works for, and I do not need access to that since often sensitive business information is contained in those e-mails. Now I'm not the type of woman would ever do anything about it like leak sales or product release dates to the public but I respect the company's privacy.

Also with snail mail, if he gets a letter (other than house hold bills) with his name on it then I leave it on his desk and visa-versa if he gets the mail any mail with my name on it he leaves it on my desk. That just seems like common respect and not a privacy issue.

As for bathroom, I don't mind if he is in the bathroom when I'm on the potty or in the tub/shower; but he does not like to have anyone in the bathroom when he is doing those things so i respect that.

Yes I have been embarrassed going to store and buying that. I almost have to put on a disguise to hide my identity. But my wife is pretty good at keeping herself prepared.

I think the time of the month I tend to not go to the bathroom while she is in there at all. I don't think its for her privacy issues I just think its for my stomach and her carpet. I dont do well with blood and something about that entire week just grosses me out.
