Paul is saying that marriage is a better choice then fornification. This does not mean he endorses adultery. Both Paul and Jesus teach that it is better to remain single if you can control yourself and remain celibate. If you can not control yourself then marriage is a better choice then fornicaton or sex outside of marriage.Hi there. Then please enlighten me about 1 Corinthians 7:2-5? Thanks.
Hi.Beautiful scriptures. Thank you. But I was asking about 1Corinth 7:2-5 where it says for married people not to hold out on each other sexually. Verse 4 The wife hath not power of her own body but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body but the wife.Paul is saying that marriage is a better choice then fornification.

Matthew 19
10 His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”
Jesus Teaches on Celibacy
11 But He said to them, “All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: 12 For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it.”
1 cor 7
32 I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord. 33 But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife, 34 and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.…
I have a pretty good wife but I bet I could have done better if I knew then what I know now. But that does not mean I want to go back to the beginning and start all over again. I have a pretty good house also. I could tear it down and start all over again but why? It is better just to work on what I have to fix it up and try to make it a better place to live.I met a woman who married an older man who was a painter. He was frequently out of work. He physically threatened her, punching a hole with his fist in the drywall near her head. She was working two jobs to support them. One thanksgiving her girl friend whom she had known since high school had to take up a collection for them to be able to afford a decent meal. Another time her husband took their money and flew to visit his father. She refused to submit to him any more. She changed the lock on their house and filed for divorce. She got friendly with an engineer she met while taking her children to a roller skating rink where he was spending time with his children. She followed him and they married nine months after they met. He was more intelligent than she and she submitted to him and remained married until he passed away.
We have a stray calico cat that we feed and she is in heat. She climbed a 6 foot fence to get away from her suitor, he tried his best to chase her across that fence. It was one of the funniest things I have seen in awhile.Hi.Beautiful scriptures. Thank you. But I was asking about 1Corinth 7:2-5 where it says for married people not to hold out on each other sexually.

The only time it's okay to hold out is when you both agree to do so for the reason of fasting and prayer and of course during her monthly.There may be other times too like if either is too sick or tired from work or e.t.c to handle their duties.
No one seems to pay much attention to what the Bible teaches. Jesus lived His life as an example for us to follow. The Bride is the Church and we are to be without spot, blemish or wrinkle when Jesus comes for us.Thank you for this post. I believe many people's minds in this thread are fixated on the flesh rather than on the spirit.
The wife is to submit as onto the Lord, to the degree that the husband is in submission to God. This has nothing to do with the flesh or the works of the flesh.Define "submit"...
Define what it means to be the "head"...

Hallelujah!!!Define "submit"...

Also, I think more men need not worry if their wives are "submitting", and worry more about getting their faith (and life) in check.

Reminds me of my honeymoon.We have a stray calico cat that we feed and she is in heat. She climbed a 6 foot fence to get away from her suitor, he tried his best to chase her across that fence. It was one of the funniest things I have seen in awhile.
It looks like rape to me but my wife says they being romantic. Maybe the calico cat is just playing hard to get.Reminds me of my honeymoon.
If mamma ain't happy then no one is happy. I am the man in this house and I say we do whatever the wife wants done.In my experience, most men submit to their wives among those who go to church, I know I did.
Because they do not want submitWhy is it so hard for people to submit to their "heads"?
Only way to have any peace and quietIf mamma ain't happy then no one is happy. I am the man in this house and I say we do whatever the wife wants done.
