What does God say about Wifes who STOP ( totally ) having sex with H ?

[Mary3]

What does God or the Bible say about wives who STOP having sex with their husbands going into years ?

 

This wife does not have health issues . She just does not want sex anymore.

[taiko]

Normal Christian interpretation is that sex is only witheld temporarly on a agreed upon time of fasting and prayer. Catholics will go a step further because they can't use other forms of birth control besides periods without sex as the start of any sex act is supposed to end with unprotected intercoarse between husband and wife.

[Lovelybird]

Bible says in this case she is depriving her husband

 

The ideal picture is that husband loves the wife like Jesus loves us, and wife respects her husband.

 

But in real life it seems a bit more complicated. In the end it comes down to individual's responsibility, they have to answer and face God themselves, what their motives are, why they did what they did

[Mary3]

I have also read that it must be mutual between them both that for a season of time they will not be having sex due to ie ; , babies , surgeries, illness, anotomical problems...

[Green]

I think god helps those who help themselves... No reason to stay with a woman like this..,. there is more to a mariage then joint bank accounts and living togather

Yet this is the point where the different sects disagree. The largest will say after you leave you still can't remarry to have sex with a new spouse. Although they leave an out by proclaiming, mostly in America not the rest of the world, that you were not married in the first place.

They call it Adultry . How do you guys feel about that ? Do you think if you divorce your spouse and remarry another women / man , that its adultry ?

I don't think it would be adultry. However the OP was about God with a specific reference to the Bible. Thus I gave the interpretation of the largest Christian church also

In the IFBC they consider it Adultry...remarrying again after your divorce....

[somedude81]

It really depends on if the person is Christian or Catholic. I don't know a thing about Catholicism so I can't comment on that.

 

The Christian pastor would want to put the couple through consoling first to find out why the wife doesn't want to have sex. If an answer can't be found, then the man has every right to divorce his wife and find a new one.

 

Adultry is having sex with somebody who is not your husband or wife, while you yourself are married. There is no problem at all about remarrying and having sex with a new partner. It might be in some other version of Christianity that I haven't heard of.

Yikes. This makes me sad.

Its version is from the Independant Fundamentalist Baptist Church. :

 

You stay married for life. No divorce.

 

If you remarry again you are committing adultry. I am not saying I am agreeing with this.

 

Leaves me rather speechless...

[She's_NotInLove_w/Me]

In the truest spiritual sense I believe that a main motivation for marriage is to procreate. Based on this, either partner withholding sex without just cause would be a sin...

 

I would feel withholding sex on a long term basis would be a just cause for dissolution of the marriage.

 

Religions that do not allow divorce are even more archaic than all of the above statements!

I could never do this to a man unless my vageen fell off or something...

Meh, I read one paragraph on Wikipedia and I don't like that flavor of Christianity.

 

I start to have issues with religion when it starts to make rules to impede on peoples life without any clear reason.

 

I feel sorry for the couple you are talking about and they may want to reconsider their denomination. Being stuck with one person for the rest of your life isn't going to get somebody a better seat in heaven than the person who has remarried...

I have discussed with the spouse about this but ultimately they have to make the choice to reconsider their belief system.

 

Its kind of like talking to a wall...

The true spiritual sense in the Bible about marriage has more than just procreate. Marriage is a beautiful picture of love between God and human. In the book of Songs of Solonmon, the passationate love is all over the places. In God's mind, marriage is a place that a man and a woman become one, both physically and emotionally and spiritually, is a place they practice love and grow into an unity.

 

If a man and a woman really practice the principles of God and rely on the power of God when their ability lack, then they can have a good marriage. In fact, many believers don't really practice these in their daily lives.

 

There is way of life; and way of death. Way of life leads to a good relationships and good marriage, and good sex life; and way of death leads to some little death, such as emotional death, love death, passion death.....

I believe that in the situation of a spouse divorcing the other and remarrying, the new marriage is not blessed by God.

I agree. The woman is the man's helpmeet. She is to meet her husband's needs.. Their bodies belong to each other as well as themselves.

Beautifully put Lovely Bird. (This would make MC obsolete.)

What do you mean by this?! What does God say? How is anyone supposed to know what God says? Seriously, this is nonsense. The Bible was written by people who claimed to have heard God, not God itself.

Okay putting the Bible and God aside for a moment , do you think its right for the wife to completely stop having sex with the husband ?

[Toki]

I think it's unfair, and cruel. Unless he's going out and getting some on the side, it's completely out of line for a marriage.
