Is it a vow breaker if someone withholds sex from their spouse?

I'm not sure if it's a vow breaker, but it's not a good idea.\n\n1 Corinthians 7:4-5\n" The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to the wife. Do not deprive one another except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then comer together again so that satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."

They can if they want to. Unfortunately, if they do it once, they'll do it again. It shows a character flaw that they alone need to work out. The only way you can help him overcome his tendancy to stray is to let him know you'll not put up with it in your relationship. It's a deal-breaker of the first kind. Without trust, it's really hard having any kind of meaningful relationship. Not impossible, just difficult. It can be worked through, but both people have to want to work through it, with the cheating spouse working hard to restore trust in their relationship. <*)))><

if the woman is undecided then that means NO, verbally or not it means NO and while she may not say anything at the time if she has sex while she is undecided and he forces her to do that...then it can be considered rape

Tough question but it all boils down to what you can and cannot live with... Was this kept from when you committed? It is life threatening?... Is this just the excuse you were already looking for?... Or does cause a commitment question??.....This isn't something any of us can answer for you, this must come from within... Good luck

I'm with you; I don't see the appeal of that way but some people dig it.  If he really can't let it go, maybe you could just try it once, as sort of a wifely sacrifice, and then if it's uncomfortable for you, I'm sure he won't want to repeat it.  I pray that this isn't one of your last options.  In my view, it's sodomy, and I can't see God approving it as a regular practice.  Blessings to you!

Love is about respect.  If he truly loves you, regardless his feelings on the matter, he will RESPECT yours!  The truth is, an individual who has the audacity to say "if you don't have sex with me, you don't love me" is suspect; I'd have to say that in saying so, they are showing that, in all likelihood, they don't love you!  Tell him: If YOU LOVED ME, you would respect my desire to wait until marriage-and if you don't have that level of respect for me, WE DON'T BELONG TOGETHER!.

NO. not at all. First of all, I would like to congratulate you two. You're a match made in heaven. Basically, the bible states that sex is a blessing given to married couples. If you're just living together and not having sex, that's absolutely perfect. It's the most exciting thing you can have once you get married. But if you guys are married but not having sex... then there really is a problem behind that. Try talking to your partner about that.

Never. If he doesn't love and respect me enough to remain faithful, then I don't want anything to do with him. \n\nA.H.

Yes and that is called rape. If it is in a marriage it can still be rape but many couples will have sex just to please their partner and their is nothing wrong with that. But being pressured does not make it enjoyable.

your doin it because you can  and you want someone to give you the attention your husband isn't giving you but having sex with them if find that very wrong why don't you have one of them buy you a vibrator.so what im sayin is if you really loved your husband you wouldn't be sleepin with other men. commitment is what you lack that or you have no self control.

Never. Unless they are married. God gave us sex as an intimate expression of love between husband and wife and for procreation. Sex solidifies the bond between husband and wife. It's not supposed to be a casual thing between unmarried people.

I have no idea. Personally I don't have a problem with sex before marriage as I would want to know what I was getting before I got married to a man for life. Not that sex is all a relationship is but I think it's an important part. I don't think you should sleep around indiscrimately regardless of being married or not though.

As long as there is some sex during the week, it should be okay. Sex is not the main thing in a marriage, I know, but a complete lack of it indicates something very wrong.

You don't specify exactly what you mean but if you mean cheat on a marriage then here goes.\n\nIt's not a matter of "getting caught", it's a case of doing the right thing.  If a woman (or man come to that) is married she should respect that union and not mess it up by having an affair.  Finding out your spouse has played away is hurtful and unforgivable.  If a relationship is stale, then try and work it out first (with counselling if needs be) and if that doesn't work, walk away, get a divorce and THEN, and only then, mess about with another person.

The forbidden pleasure is your neighbor's spouse - or, if a spouse, coveting someone who is not the spouse. (especially if vows of fidelity have been exchanged). It is forbidden because if people give in to such desires, there will be a trail of pain and distrust. Nothing good comes of infidelity in its affect on family, friends, even neighborhood and town. It is not very often that spouses can mess around with no negative consequences. Infidelity always intentionally causes pain. It cuts right to a person's ability to trust. There are always victims. It just makes sense. If you want to mess around, move on first. I'm not a Bible-thumper. I am not talking about open marriages, etc. This is about lying, cheating, and putting energy that should go to partner and home elsewhere. That is why it is a forbidden pleasure.

Yes because in my EX marriage, it led to other things. It went to porn chat rooms and eventually to meeting up with the women he met online. It destroys relationships.\n\nAnd to your added comment, DON'T accept it. Why should you?  It's like compromising your standards for the sake of him. If you are uncomfortable with it then stand your ground. I personally think any decent man with a strong spiritual belief and is committed to his partner would look for a more healthy and moral outlet.  It's disrespectful.  \n\nI tried to accept it too and look what it ended up doing.

It may not technically be infidelity but it is certainly a very bad\nidea and will probably lead to infidelity...\nFalling in love with  someone else, even without sex, is also infidelity..
