Does Christianity preclude consent?

I?m not an expert in Christianity (I was raised Roman Catholic) but what phrase in the Bible has you thinking having sex with a bed ridden husband is a requirement?

Regardless of your religion, I believe you are not required to do anything, sexually or otherwise, that grosses you out. Your body, your choice. Otherwise, it?s a form of indentured servitude.

Let me clarify first, I have no experience marrying a divorcee Indian lady. I am a divorcee Native American (we were called American Indians, when I was growing up). But I'm not yet remarried either. Some caveats: I can't speak for all divorcees, nor all Native women either. And this advice isn't limited to folks who are interested in divorcees. If you've never been married, check to see that you have realistic expectations about what marriage is. Where did you get the messages ? Are they helpful or harmful? Also, make sure your communication skills are TOP NOTCH. There's no shame in getting help from a couples counselor or therapist early on if you need it - it's like getting a tune up on your car and can be really worth the money. No marriage is like a Hollywood movie with fairy tale endings. There will be problems and disappointments. If you notice resentment building, figure out where it comes from and work through it. Don't let it build up. If you let it and the dam finally breaks, it's going to suck. If you are marrying a divorcee (and especially if she has kids), she may also have an ex-husband in the picture. Hopefully that relationship is respectful and focused on the common good for the kids, and not using the kids to get back at each other. You may need to be emotionally supportive to her if it's not. And if there are kids, be kind and compassionate to them. Those are just a few thoughts. I?m not sure if that's what you wanted from me but it's the best I could do at answering your question.

Only folks with a strict religious background place such importance on virginity and the happiness of their marriage might hang on that status as a result.

For folks who have already been married or who belong to a segment of the population that doesn't see virginity as the ultimate unboxing, they find marital happiness from many other sources.

I do not know the cause and affect answer to this question. My best guess starts with a question though: do societies who practice arranged marriage see divorce as an acceptable solution to marital unhappiness or discord?

[edited for clarity] The answer is YES.

Yes, it's alright if any woman wears no makeup. And yes, some people will deem that unfeminine, lazy, etc (which is ridiculous).

Women are given messages about how they are supposed to look, dress, present themselves both explicitly and implicitly. The socialization that teenagers go through is especially intense (kids can be so mean). But kids learn these messages from the adults around them or the media they consume.

Don't believe me. Just look at the messages boys get as they're growing up:

Women get their own messages that are equally powerful around how women should behave. Our current election cycle should be one indication as well.

Let's let people be who they are or want to be. It doesn't hurt any of us.

Are you trying to justify it to me?

If it\'s outside your relationship agreement, then yes. It\'s cheating.

If you\'re not getting what you want out of your relationship, then you must address that. Stop going behind your partner\'s back.

I am a mother of two girls. Yes, I am okay with a person who is transgender walking into a restroom while either of my children is present.

Have you ever been in a Women's bathroom? There aren't any urinals in a women's bathroom so no one is whipping out their junk for all to see. We have stalls to do our private business. The only interaction with strangers in a bathroom might be a person asking if the stall next to them has toilet paper. That's it.

And besides, that this is a problem now just boggles my mind. I'm sure trans folks have been using the restrooms they need all along until someone like you thought it needed to be brought to our attention. Just pee. poop, primp and gtfo. Stop worrying about who is using which bathroom.
