Amen. These are tough topics but what you said, I can tell, the Holy Spirit is guiding you. I totally agree, but it’s not what I think nor is it about my opinion-it’s about what our Father in Heaven, our Creator, says it’s the way it’s supposed to be-therefore, since He’s our God, He knows best. Not only that, when we live in His will for us, is when we find true connection with, and love for one another. Thank you so much for sharing and speaking truth. It’s hard to find godly men who speak up nowadays. Every since I’ve decided to stop focusing on myself and my selfish needs all the time, my husband and I have actually started to connect emotionally, physically, and spiritually, which is so much more rewarding than the way we were living before. Again-thank you my brother! May Jesus bless you and keep you, and your loved ones close to Him! ✝️🙏
This was very helpful! Thank you. My husband and I have been debating a discussion of whether or not masturbation is “self abuse.” He believes it is and wants to teach our children this. I do not. I believe that is a dangerous idea because of the shame it could take a young person through and end up in some strange outcome. I do believe that masturbation in a marriage is selfish but what are your thoughts when teaching this idea to a young person? It’s so important to me that my children are raise with a healthy perspective on sex.
I appreciate your comment. I would teach my child that God created sex for marriage. I would tell him that is it not appropriate to masturbate. The culture is going to send him a different message and he will probably masturbate. But he will know that is masturbating against what you approve of. Just like when you tell your child anything else that is right. They may still do it, but at least you gave them the truth. But I would not tell him what your husband wants to tell him. Whether or not it is self-abuse is irrelevant to a child. Just share the truth you know...you dont have to make it scary or worst than it already is. Hope this helps!

Yes! Miss when people were more private about what happens in private!
