Do not get married if you have a limited sex drive. The only reason to get married is to escape sexual immorality.

Marriage will not guarantee that. History and weekly news should tell us that.

To have your own dedicated spouse for sexual enjoyment is an incentive to find one.
If you hold it to be the ONLY reason you married, you probably will ...[text shortened]... nhappy one.

But you decided Jesus says do not get married is better at grabbing attention?

@Eladar

"Jesus says do not get married" I agree, is a rather misrepresentative, shallow, attention grabbing sentence.

I think you do too.

@sonship

Actually I think it is deep. Not questioning societal pressures to get married is shallow.

What does that say about the importance of having children? The instruction is not simply for clergy.

Can you explain how religious celibacy is a “huge huge huge net gain for the community” please?

People who do marry are supposed to be fruitful and multiply, right. However, in our tradition we do not believe in things like "birth control is a sin" or anything. Some people do, but it is not canonical law or anything -- and it is also true that condoms did exist in the era where this was discussed.

I honestly think it is a situation where there are very few ...[text shortened]... cause it should also be understood that the monastic status in life is not simply a vow of chastity.

Whatever you say. You obviously think very little of what Jesus says.

The community gets millions in damages from law suits against sick perverted Catholic priests.

@Philokalia

You dod not really amswer my question. It had nothing to do with having children. It had to do with Jesus telling all people not to get married if they can do without sex.

I submit that it is you who thinks "very little of what Jesus says."

You're just another Christian hypocrite.

You are a child of Satan so how can you hope but see such a lie. Maybe one day God will open your eyes but probably not.

@divegeester

I saw nothing like that in his post. He simply sees priests as higher level people.
