We are moral beings. Science reduces us to animals plus and that is just good Science not stepping beyond its boundaries. But to use Science only to inform our actions, that is absolute foolishness.
No, the OWC claim to be Islamic. Many Muslims here are protesting. Islam is just a convenient cover. This whole idea of the OWC reduce our society to that of a lions pride. Brings us closer to the animal kingdom and away from the fact that God made us in his own image.
A wife, the Bible teaches us is to be loved first and foremost. These guys get the order wrong. Sex arises from love. Therefore sex happen infrequently if there is less love, but men have no problems with having loveless sex. This will take sex in the wrong direction, turning it into a narcotic with no good end. Perverted and cruel sex and eventually death from the pursuit of shallow and unsatisfying pleasure is the outcome. Have you seen a hedonistic king or emperor ever satisfied with his huge harem? It is always more is better. Never ends.
In my parents' time, I suspect husbands practically order their wives to give them sex. To policy makers this create a more stable society - Think LKY. With the rising status and growing economic power of women, wives often refuse sex to their husbands. Yes, if you do not already know, marriage is often more about money than love. In God's eyes, we often do not know what love is, and God is waiting for us one by one to learn it. He gave us the story of the Prodigal Son didn't he? OWC types take us away from God or Islam. It is evil.
Husbands love your wives; Wives submit to your husbands as in the Bible. If you love, you do not demand submission. If a wife submit for her risen Lord's sake, she does not ask to be loved by her lousy husband. Forget it, uninvited guests reading this don't know what I am talking about because there is so little faith around. As I am not the wife, that is not my business to care. My privilege and duty is to love. If loved a wife might submit, but her submission or in the context here, sex is not why you love her in the first place. You love her for the very same reasons Mother Teresa loved. That's why God hates divorce. It is so not him.
I have been too idealistic. To be practical, do not exceed your faith or you would end up far worse than giving in to your lust. Don't be stupid. Don't try to look good. Where sin abounds, grace will also abound. If you pretend to be good, where are you going to find grace? I think prostitutes especially the unwilling ones are finding grace far faster than their unholy clients. So many of them say their work make them feel dirty.
Paul was right all along. It is better to be single. Of course, he was aware that he wasn't being practical. So most people should marry, love and submit to each other. It is a God given way to find him.
