Yes, I teach standards, but the bedroom isn't the place to have a Bible study with a married couple.
The Holy Ghost (if someone has the Holy Ghost) should most definitely teach them everything. The eldership is there to ask the questions, which need to be asked when someone has an epiphany.

Why not let the Holy Ghost lead regarding standards too?

Well you have to have visible standards so the preacher and saints can have a gauge of spirituality. ( sarcasm) Plus why do you consider "that" perversion?? I think its way more perverted to think or wonder what another couple enjoys !!

Who said anything about wondering what a couple does. I don't go around wondering what couples do. It can be taught, as it has in the past, discreetly and in proper setting.

Bro, I stay out of people's bedrooms.
Unless they are beating the snot out of each other it isn't mine or your problem.

That goes right along with "why do you go to a church?"
"Isn't God EVERYWHERE?"

No it doesn't.
In the Bible, there is a clear command for Christians to gather together.
There is not a clear command for the other stuff entailed in the word, "standards".
It doesn't add to the Bible to say Christians should gather together in worship and fellowship.
It DOES add to the Bible to teach that facial hair is the sign of a proud man who is not saved.
