  • 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.

Marriage is a commitment relationship between husband and wife. they join together by intimate sex behaviour, and they r one in spirit, mental,body. Sex is the most intimate thing, and it means"learn totally about a person".

but I m wondering, if two persons r dated, and planing to get married. If suddenly one of them got an accident and lost the sexual ability, Will they still get married?

I think that's up to each individual couple. If I learned by husband was impotent before we married, I ABSOLUTELY would have still married him. I'm sure it would have been hard (and we would have to learn other ways to pleasure one another) but my love for him transcends the physical. His life has added so much more to mine than just sex. Being without him would be like being without part of my soul. I wouldn't be complete without him.

I definitely still would have married my husband. It would have been hard coping with the loss of that singular aspect of marriage. But sex is just that, one aspect of marriage. There is so much more to my relationship with my husband than sex. He is my best friend. The OP stated that sex means "learn totally about a person," I learn more about my husband by talking with him, and by observing him than I do through sex. In the three years we have been married, our more intimate moments have been when we spent time alone together, not when we were having sex.

Is this a real case scenario? Because if not, you lack imagination. How about being stranded on a desert island with whatever movie star?

In a real situation, you will recall Dana Reeve (the late wife of the late Christopher Reeve). Til Death do us part. That's the risk you take going into marriage. That one or both may be sexually incapacitated. But ahead of time? It depends on the level of love and commitment.

As one lady posted here already, she would but doubts her husband would have. Either she knows he's not as in love with her as she is with him... or she's never given him the chance to show or feel it. :swoon:

I don't say that lightly. What I mean is, both genders are with holders. Women have the most known reputation for what is commonly called the silent treatment... the "if you don't know I'm not gonna tell you" syndrome. But men withhold in different ways.

We get silent, distant, detached... I am sure you've experienced this. But what causes it is being belittled by our wife or having our authority challenged or despised. I do not know a man alive who if given the respect God intended him to have would not readily die for his wife and children.

You say, I don't disrespect him or challenge him... in little ways you do. When driving do you belittle him for driving past a turn? Do you undercut decisions he makes without consulting him first in a humble way? These seemingly small things cut deeply.

To help you understand, if you need him to fawn over you in the dress you are wearing that evening and he doesn't or is half hearted about it... that seemingly small thing cuts deeply doesn't it? It wears on your estimation of yourself because you doubt his estimation of you. And so on.

In response to your statement, he may well not love you the way you love him... but he might... and he might not even be aware of it himself. My point is, by both men and women going about marriage as God prescribes, it bring out the most in both. Any other way for whatever reason and no matter how good the reason may sound only inhibits marital love and its fullest potential.

So, surprise surprise God's way works. Go figure.

He may well have married you anyway. There's only one way to find out (because it's never to late to begin doing things God's way).

God bless you.

I don't believe I was mature enough to make that decision at the time I got married, but I may have made that decision based on a romantic notion. I was a teenager at the time. Looking back, I could have made that decision in my late 20's.

So if you are in that position, my advice would be to extend the engagement time.

I know that my husband and I definitely would still have gotten married. We would have had a hard time coping, but we would have made it. God gives you grace to get through for those type of situations and if you know he wants the two of you together, he will find a way to help you cope. Is this a situation that you are going through...or just a pretend one?
