Hi Robert-I,

Here, whether you are aware of it or not, you are actually asking Christianity's oldest question - should good Christians have sexual relationships or not?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I DON'T get the impression this is what Magnet55 is suggesting. As I see it, he is simply saying that, as wonderful as loving sexual relationships can be, they don't seem to be guaranteed or promised by Scripture. [They are not a "right".] Maybe some of us are just called to "do without" in this life. On the other hand, we ARE commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves. [God expects that of all believers, with no exceptions.]

Magnet55, if I'm interpreting your statement wrong, let me know.

Blessings,
Rainboy
