You're talking about pornography; not necessarily masturbation, in of itself.

No. It isn't. It all depends on the person.

Meaning...?

Oh? Then how is it defined? BIBLICALLY, if you can...

But you started your OP by saying that because of your hormones, you've been tempted to get into a relationship.

SCORE! You and I agree!

Nor are they 'called' to have as much sex with their wives as they want! The Bible does say, "that each of you know how to a acquire a wife for himself in holiness and honor, not in lustful passion as do the Gentiles who do no know God;" 1 Thessaonians 4: 4-5 I know some versions replace the...

Bible verse please...

Of course not! Or, divorce them and sin against the Lord? How do you know if her divorce is "sinning"? Do you believe that ALL marital unions are "in God's eyes"? Besides, if it is a sin, it's a FORGIVABLE one. Above all, God is about mercy and forgiveness. It doesn't protect them in ALL...

Yes, "THE" man, as in Adam; not ALL men. If it was ALL men, Christ wouldn't have said (I'm paraphrasing) that not all would be married. Marriage is a choice. Not all are called to marry.

The Bible does not say this...

Actually, most can. But most don't want to...

Emotionally? How about spiritually? How about that the spouse lied about his idea of what a marriage is supposed to be, even though they discussed it? If the marriage isn't a "marriage" in the first place, then you're not 'leaving' a 'marriage'...

Whoa...

LOL! It's usually ME who's slow at the keyboard!

If that's what you believe, then you don't know a whole lot about the mindset of abusers. The most dangerous time for an abused woman is when she leaves! How many times do we read/hear that an angry abusive man has killed his wife (and/or their kids) who had moved out and was separated from...

"But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace." If my husband is being abusive to me, he's already an "unbeliever" and he has already "left" the marriage. I would not feel 'bound' in such a case.

...which sets up the abuser to further abuse...

Same with men...when they demand that she 'submit' to him...
