I'm leaving the men with men thing alone - YUCK!!! LOL! Again, I'm trying to focus on this particular scripture reference.

I'm coming from the angle, after talking to a lot of women, that it appears to be their fault. At least the ones that have complained to me. They want to complain about him and his needs BUT after listening for a while, I find out it is their fault and they are trying to put the blame on him.

Of course, we can go into how a man makes you feel like an object and is a total turn off, but that isn't what I'm discussing here.

You are right, Abigail - It is NOT always the reason someone cheats and I have never said that is was, but let's focus on the scripture, okay?

IMO, it appears that if we do "deprive" another we are opening up that person to be tempted by Satan. Is that a sin on the "depriver's" part? That is the question. Let's focus on that.

The scripture bears out that either party WILL be tempted by Satan if they are deprived. That means that God knows, even with a decision, it can happen. OR does the scripture, without actually saying, only focus on the weaker person being deprived as the one tempted? Is the one committing the adultery the only one to blame or is the "depriver" also to blame? IMO, the scripture appears to be pointing at the "depriver" as being party and part to the sin.
You feel that strongly about that scripture? I think it points out that IT COULD happen, but not that it WILL happen. It's a warning.

I also think if we are talking about depriving being a fault of the marriage that we should discuss the reasons of why there might be depriving. Not fair to talk about one without the other.
