Wow. That was a very interesting read. Thanks for posting that.
Quite honestly, I think that this makes quite a bit of sense... and is probably at the heart of SSM and any other pro-marriage books we've read.
But this is an understanding of Paul, which he is passing along to the Corinthians. Based on his own interpretation. I personally believe it is a pretty good opinion... I don't think any married couple would even disagree with this, in theory.
Unfortunately, he doesn't say what to do to get back on track. When things fall apart to the extent that a man is not providing his woman with emotional connection, and she in turn does not provide him with fulfilling sex... the Bible, I am sorry, is of no help whatsoever. Except here to say both are at fault.
We mortals are left to figure it out on our own, and if we can't, I think it is mutually abusive to continue. And the Bible, I believe, has lots to say about that. I don't know if it says anything about Divorce... I don't even know that that was even a fathomable concept at the time.
And given that the Bible didn't really say anything concrete about divorce, our societies feel free to make their own conclusions and decisions on this matter.
