This is not really a good analogy. I think you probably meant tubal ligation? Tubal ligation and vasectomy only have one purpose: sterilization.A man having a vasectomy is the same as a woman having a hysterectomy and should not be done unless there is a severe medical reason that cannot be treated in another way.
You are quoting out of context. In the SAME post, I also referenced legitimate reasons to refuse.this is what you mean
Contraception is sinful because it disorders the marital act.which is why birth control is a sin
Yes, she does, if she has a justifiable reason. For example, if you have a splitting headache and you don’t think you can perform the marital act well, then you can ask him to wait until the headache goes away.Well here’s the thing: doesn’t the wife ever deserve a right to say “no”, even within the confines of marriage?
The wife does have some say in her sexual life. But if she refuses sex without a justified reason, then she is also not letting her husband have a say in their sexual life together. Do you think that is fair?Why doesn’t the wife get some say in HER sexual life?
He is not always entitled to sex how he wants it and when he wants it. His rights have limits, too. For example, if you feel that he is only using you, and that the marital act is no longer an expression of love but simply an avenue for indulging in animal passion, then you may have a legitimate reason to refuse.Why is it that the husband is always entitled to sex how he wants, when he wants?
If the husband’s request is inconsiderate, yes it may lead to marital rape. But if the wife’s refusal is without a justifiable reason, then it is just as bad as marital infidelity.You see how this can lead to marital rape?
Exactly! But you can’t say you’re being available to your spouse if you refuse his request without a justifiable reason.Your body belonging to one another does NOT mean you can’t refuse sex. It’s about being available to each other but also respecting each other’s free will
How exactly is it God’s plan if even the thought of having children grosses me out to the point where I’ve had neurosis about it? Fertilization doesn’t always equal an innate ability to love and care for children.Birth control is a Sin so yes you are sinning. And what if God’s plan is for you to have children. If you don’t want children in marriage then the only other option is abstinence or learn NFP however you have to realise NFP isn’t 100% fool proof either
I thought the 6th commandment was “thou shalt not kill”Contraception is a sin against the sixth commandment. We are called to conform ourselves to God, not the other way around.
Like, as in, never truly desired it or felt the calling to have kids.What do you mean “grosses you out”?
whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
I think nature is really really cruel regardless…I’m sorry for your losses by the way. Respects.I have miscarried multiple times. I know for a fact it happened according to God’s will and for a purpose. My children are blessed to have been born into heaven, and I have seen the way that they have interceded on my family’s behalf here on earth.
I think you need to reconsider your ideas of the way God moves through us. You need to reconsider your ideas of what marriage and life are truly about. And of you aren’t even Catholic, I think you need to reconsider what your purpose in this debate is. Why do you care what Catholics believe? How does it affect you?
But…in the Church, I was asked if I was open to life - which to me means children - or at least the possibility of them should they come…In any case, if you truly do not want children but do want to be married, there is no obligation that a married couple ever engage in sexual intercourse.
