Sacrament of marriage (marital duties)

[Stanley]

Dear friends,

What does scripture says abt marital duties? Is it holy in the sight of god to fulfil marital duties. Will a person be participating in holy mass in an unworthy manner by fulfilling marital duties.

 

[pianistclare]

what “duties” are you talkign about???

 

[Stanley]

God calls us to be holy. Will one becomes unholy by a relationship with his wife or husband. Fulfilling marital duties.

 

[pianistclare]

Husband and wife are to become ONE FLESH in marriage.
Nothng unholy about it for Sacramentally married people.

 

[Rau]

Will a person be participating in holy mass in an unworthy manner by fulfilling marital duties.

One assumes the duty is fulfilled at an appropriate time and place, and not otherwise??

Do you mean having sexual intercourse?

 

[TechieGuy]

Mowing the lawn, washing the dishes, cleaning out the garage?

What are you getting at?

What are you getting at?

Marital duties…

 

[pianistclare]

That’s not what the OP was asking about and you know it.
Frankly who cares who mows the lawn as long as it gets done.
I hire a kid to do it.

That’s not what the OP was asking about and you know it.

Well I think of sex as marital pleasures, not duties…

 

[pianistclare]

I wasn’t the one who referred to duties.

Even the question sounds a bit strange. Duties? Really? If I would think of it this way, I wouldn´t have married my husband.
