TOL Topic of the Day - Chime In!Every day we will post a new topic and we want to get your comments on that topic. The topic could be about literally anything from the vague to the specific, important or trivial. The TOL membership can take that topic and run with it!
So what is the right solution for thoes that dont want to live with a prude or remain celibate?
The husband should treat his wife better than himself and the wife should treat her husband better than herself.
When you harm your spouse, you only harm yourself (Mt 19:6; Ro 7:2,3; 1 Co 7:39). It's like that tormenting from your big brother, "Why are you hittin' yourself? Why are you hittin' yourself?"

Except your spouse is another person. So why would you stay with another person who is abusing you. Your logic is not sound.

There is absolutely no comparison. It would be extremely likely that the wife is behaving as a prude due to physical abuse.

Therefore him divorcing her over it is valid. The bible states not to defraud AND a woman who behaves in that manner has profound effects on her husband.
Except there would normally be underlying issues at play for a wife/husband to respond in such a way.

I believe in the totality of mathew 19 of which includes not being able to accept that teaching. Maybe at the end of the day I will meet Jesus and he will tell me that I was wrong but a wife being a prude is incredibly abusive and logically I cant see why it would not be a reason for divorce.
Comparing not getting sex from a spouse 24/7 to actual physical abuse demeans and belittles all abuse victims.
Its much easier to train them right when they are young though isnt it.
Although you are clearly being sarcastic and rude with the age you put in there, that is actually a correct statement now that I think about it. It makes life alot better.
