• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

"Sexual incompatibility" is a catch phrase created by people with selfish and worldly motives. It is not part of God's language, that's for sure.
Not surprising, since in God's language, pretty much anything sexual has been demonized for centuries. As an end result of all the unecessary taboos, feelings of guilt, fear, and sexual propriety, we end up with sexually maladjusted individuals.

And here I thought I was the only one that noticed that the experts on marriage seem to be unmarried men in their late teens/early twenties.
You forgot the quotation marks around experts and the dope slap smiley.

One of the chief causes of divorce is sexual incompatibility. Even if it is not the main reason, it is often one of the big reasons that leads to divorce.
The chief cause of divorce is ungodliness on the part of partners with worldly and selfish motives.
The chief cause of divorce is money. Not too much or not enough money; the way you view and handle it. Sex is so secondary or tertiary on the reasons for divorce!

My favourites are the 14 year olds with all the answers
Oh yeah, I have one of those. Would that I know half what a teenager knows!

Also--the people thinking money (or lack of) is the cause of divorce, I think it's due to the husband not helping out around the house. :mad:

I think it is due to no cooked meal available and too much pizza, especially pepperoni, for dinner. :D

...and yet even with the sky-high rates of sex before marriage we're seeing high divorce rates... but at least we're not seeing the sky-high rates of abuse we had before divorce was common...

Perhaps a better plan would be to focus on marriage as a life-long commitment, a deep friendship-with-benifits between two people. Marriage isn't just sex... yet so many people want to reduce it to that. It is a life-long friendship, a commitment to (generally) make a family together, whether that be with children or without.

This focus on sex just gets to where we are... divorce. Society focuses on marriage as two things: the huge wedding and the sex. The other issues - financial, friendship, bonding, activities in common - just seem to be forgotten. Maybe if couples focused on all the life-long things that keep a marriage together we'd have longer, happier marriages all around...

Ok, in that case, wanna have sex with me? What, aren't you sexually compatible with other guys?
Sexual Orientation is different from sexuality and for that matter sexuality is far more then just sex.

Two people can be sexual without having sex, for example a passionate kiss or hug.
