Can't the love we have be incarnated in the marital embrace and the marital embrace lead to more love, etc.?? Isn't that part of the rhythm of normal married life?
Can't love -> marital embrace -> love -> marital embrace -> love etc.

I think looking at this as either - or is dangerous.
We worry so much about sex outside of marriage and its abuses that we forget that many marriages have other struggles.[/quote]
I think that is a very good point. This is true in other areas as well ... our actions form the way we feel just as our feelings motivate our actions.

I've never heard it put that way (HS_Dad). It's really beautiful.

I don't think this use of libido enhancing medicines or patches etc. are going to solve any problems with married people. The sex drive is of course important but it is not the absolute end to the marital embrace. The marital embrace should not be determined by the sex drive. It's common knowledge that women have times where they are less "in the mood" then other times this doesn't mean you need to go run and slap a patch on your arm. One would hope that the married couple would love one another and want to share themselves with each other without having to have a ton of hormones to push them in the direction of the marital embrace.

It is wonderful to desire one's spouse and to feel sexually drawn to them, but your love for them and your love for being one with them should not be determined by how strong your libido is.

Now... having the testosterone patch for medical reason, such as the body isn't producing it's correct amount of testosterone to function correctly, then I see no problem with it then.

My thing is that women should not go out of their way to put more and more testosterone in their bodies so that their libidos can keep up with the men's libidos. God created each of us in the manner to which they should function together properly. I'm reminded of pre-cana when the instructor talked about how men would have to show heroic sacrifice towards their wives in the marital embrace. It's not about trying to have the woman put more testosterone into her body but so that she can have the same libido as her spouse. It is about the two becoming one and working as one. Making sure the other is being fulfilled without having to add anything extra into the mix.[/quote]

A woman does not need a patch to get her "in the mood". A husband unexpectedly doing the dishes and putting the kids to bed works quite well.

Well, I think that's what Jen's saying...relying on a patch seems artificial and quite frankly superficial.
