[QUOTE="MehGuy, post: 76230253, member: 196790"] Yeah, but coveting can easily happen with couples who originally paired up together because of mutual attraction. People age, circumstances change. The once beautiful and youthful wife is now old and overweight.. the once athletic man who had a decent job is now laid off and having difficulty finding work and has developed a beer belly. Coveting does not just manifest with couples who cannot muster up attraction for one another. Plenty of couples who do love each other also struggle with the occasional desire for another. These couples are probably not prone to coveting to the same degree as couples who do not have any attraction for one another, but the sin of coveting is still very much present. Desiring something you do not possess is an unavoidable human feeling. While it can cause hurt and insecurity, coveting is just a part of life. One needs to at least make some peace with the limitations of the human mind. As a man who is short I do not like the idea of my partner lusting after another man because of his tall height and admiring a part of masculinity I will never have myself, but it is an unavoidable thought. Just as I am sure my partner as we age would not be too thrilled with the reality that I will occasionally desire women younger than herself and covet a part of femininity she no longer has. While one should not let these feelings overtake them, I think it is cruel and psychologically unhealthy to label these feelings as sins. I'd want my partner to feel comfortable sharing these thoughts with me just as I want to feel comfortable sharing my thoughts with her. A relationship based on honesty and not on a phony façade. No, I see the psychological harm it can cause. Especially regarding couples who have no attraction for one another. Perhaps in a Christian context it is better to be single, but as I have stated above these sins are probably unavoidable regardless. Some people will have to make tough decisions. Either sleep in a cold bed alone, or sleep in a warm bed with someone they are not attracted too but at the very least they may be able to fulfill some of their biological urges in a more rudimentary sense.
