Great post.
Again, since this continues to be missed by some, no one has said that sex creates love where there isn't any already existing, no one has advocated sex being a greedy, self-satisfying physical action, and no one has suggested that sex is the only important aspect in marriage.
Okay? Good. Now we're clear.
The only points that have been made are these:
1. To some people, sex is a relational need.
2. To some people, love, honesty, respect, communication, trust and friendship(which are all ingredients to a healthy, happy marriage) are incomplete without sex. Meaning, to some here, sex is also an important ingredient to a healthy, happy marriage.
No one has to agree. But it would be nice if the misrepresentations would stop. How many times do we have to clarify the same things before you'll believe us? It seems with every single post we're having to re-clarify, "No, actually, we're not talking about that, we're talking about this." It's exhausting.
