07/08 Ask Dr. Phil

Quote From: benc789

If a man vows to be faithful, this only applies until his wife refuses to have sex with him.  Once she decides to be celibate, the vow to be faithful is over.

And, suppose you become impotent? would that relieve your wife of her vow to be faithful? I always thought marriage was much more than just sex!

Sorry to burst your bubble but there was no refusal to have sex. We did just fine and probibly better than most. No less than 5 times a week and most days even twice. The lack of having sex was not any sort of factor. Just plain old good stupidity.

No, that is up to each individual couple. If that is what you and your wife decided on, good for you. But is hardly a universal law.

Does this apply both ways btw?

Oh, I see. So in your world, vows should only be honored IF it's convenient for you, and only if everything is going your way?

marriage vows

I don't recall saying that in my marriage vows.

 

I guess then it is ok for a woman to have an emotional affair with another man when her husband isn't meeting her emotional needs? Are you for real?

 

If your wife isn't having sex with you, you need to find out the reasons why. It may have more to do with YOU than her!

Good try to excuse it... but it is a bit off.

lol I bet a lot of men would like to put THAT in their marriage vows.  Actually according to the bible, a wife should be there for the husband, the husband should be there for the wife.  The only reason for divorice is unfaithfulness, according to the bible, it breaks the vows.  It also states in the bible that if you divorice, you shouldn't remarry.
