Claudine Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 WOW!!! More Details Please!!! This is sooooooo RAD Shalom
dUSt Posted January 13, 2005 Author Posted January 13, 2005 Well. Without getting into too much details, this is a personal exercise of will-power combined with a phsycological strategy that I hope pays off in 2006.
dUSt Posted January 13, 2005 Author Posted January 13, 2005 [quote name='1337 k4th0l1x0r' date='Jan 13 2005, 05:25 PM'] How long till your wife notices? [/quote] She's known this whole year but dismissed it as foolishness. She didn't take me seriously until yesterday. I feel powerful.

To be honest, I think that might actually be against the Sacrament of Marriage...you're supposed to have sex...

A marriage cannot be valid, for instance, if it is not consummated. For that reason, within marriage, sex is something to be had frequently for the sanctification of the couple and the glorification of God. In other walks of life, sexual intercourse may be something given up, but that is something meant for those positions and states in life, not for marriage, with exception of penitential abstinance from sex, which in my humble opinion, should not last nearly as long as a year, since for a married couple, sex can be a prayer, and while we fast, we are never called to fast from prayer. Just my two cents.
Thy Geekdom Come Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 [quote name='dUSt' date='Jan 13 2005, 07:30 PM'] Yes. Completely celibate until 2006. [/quote] Tell you what, me too. Of course, I won't be married until 2006 at least...
