If a couple has all that together loving God, then everything should be running smooth. I want to hear the word, book, chapter, and verse, not story time, or explaining how the Tower of Babel was really a rocketship.

So do you teach any standards then? Do you teach against facial hair. If so, why? Shouldn't Holy Ghost be telling them that?

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?

I agree! I cant imagine why an individual, muchless a preacher would worry, wonder or think about what a married couple are doing!!!

I was referring to his view to let the Spirit lead a couple in that area, but not let the Spirit do the same for standards.
Not that the two are the same. No doubt sexual perversion is not the same as standards that include many man made traditions.

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 !!
