Re: Married and lonely
As for 1 Cor 7 George. The context of the verses from the start is sex. Starting at verse 1 that it is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless in order to avoid fornication (sex outside marriage) let every man have his own wife and vice versa.
It goes on to say the wife does not have power over her own body etc. Her body means her physical body and vice versa. In the context it has to mean sex. It goes on to say don't defraud one another unless it is with consent that you may give yourselves to prayer but make sure that you come back together (sex) so that Satan does not tempt you as has already been pointed out.
I think an opening is apparent when you mb thinking of other women sometimes. That door should be closed by enjoying one's normal marriage rights (yes sex not something else). Ask your pastors opinion of the verses. Don't just take what I say. I think you will find that most know exactly what is says.
