Lina, That passage refers to knowledge BEFORE marriage.
That is, if my H was completely impotent--but didn't tell me before we tied the knot--then the marriage is not valid in the eyes of the church. It was based on false precepts on my part..namely that we'd soon be gettin it on.
The church also says that a marriage isn't valid until it's consummated. So if there is a couple who doesn't ML for 3 months, then they are not technically married in the eyes of the church, until they ML. Sex is a very powerful thing and there's really a lot of interesting theological documents written about it. I've read many of them, though H hasn't.
As far as the impotent man who wants to get married....I don't know. Don't even ask.
Mel, I will know you're truly HD when you stop with the Willy Wonka everyone's-in-one-bed dreams. LOLOL
Csw, my surgery is on Monday. I haven't been on antibiotics now for about two weeks (baby is lovin it) and I am feeling it. It is really starting to hurt when I walk, etc.
Last night's update: I was all excited cause H wrote me a nice email with a promise to "talk" about what we could do, sexually, in the meantime until I'm fully healed. He never mentioned it again. He later said that he forgot all about sending that email, which sounds fishy to me as he sent it literally 5 minutes before walking out the door. ? I was a little taken aback when he walked in and acted like nothing had happened..we hadn't been flirting with each other 45 min prior...just business as usual. I don't understand this. So I was very disappointed. Let down. I really thought for a brief flicker there that he would be interested in keeping the flirty vibe going. He later said he had no idea what he wrote to me, he just wanted to respond and delete it and get back to what he was doing. Hmph.
However, he did wake me up in the middle of the night to (attempt to) ML. It was nice. He really tried to set a hothothot mood but first of all, I'm not that coherent at 4 a.m. and second of all, I was still a little miffed about his "forgetfulness" of the night before. Life with H seems to be two steps forward and one back. Oh well, it is forward movement and for that I am grateful.
