Yes. I was just thinking of getting married as a way to become a better person and learn new things that I may miss otherwise. Because singledom seems to make me really lazy.

Ah, and I forgot, very good job for you and your wife! Hope you reach a happy anniversary!

Masturbation is essentially fornication with oneself, which then can also fall under the sin of pride.

Yes, but I will not to let them get me into something worse. Having them and being led by them are two different things.

And I already stated that I would not marry just for attempting to calm my desires. Sexless marriages are not a rare thing either (most of which are not actually sexless, BUT marital sexless).

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19 Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; 20...

I'm not really desperate anyway, and will have in mind not to get married for the wrong reasons. Also, "pleasuring oneself" is a sin.

But anyway, let's get back to the original topic. This is becoming a typical Christian Debate Forum thread.

Sure not all men. But then not all are called to remain celibate, either.

I was trying to explain you why celibacy is not always a better option. And if anything yes, we should actually return to the OP.

Then women wouldn't even exist. Genesis 2:18 And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.

SOME! You said it.

But the longing is still there... and can damage their relationship with God, possibly even unconsciously.

The problem is that most (including myself) can't gain full control of their desires. Humans are biologically programmed to seek intimacy.

Except that celibacy CAN actually alienate one from God. It's not really that either is better. For some, celibacy may be better. For others, it may be marriage. It depends on the individual. 1 Corinthians 7:2 But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman...

Not necessarily. It certainly may be for some, but not for all. And celibacy can be pretty tough for many, too. A godly marriage may in fact be a better way of serving the Lord than celibacy. Whether it's hard or not to achieve, is another topic.

And then "where are all the good men" and CAT PARTY!

And from what I can see, most women where I live fall for jerks.

Expect what? Divorce?

But due to the trash divorce laws biased against men, a woman has a lot less to lose in a marriage than a man. Exactly because that's how women work since the beginning of the times. If they sense that their man is weaker than they are, then they will lose their respect for them. This is the...
