Bible Question: LUST:
in marriage is it a sin to lust after one's spouse?
I was discussing lust with a friend.
Her definition of lust was a very strong, uncontrollable desire.
I my definition is a strong desire.
With my definition, I had no problem of with the Lust in marriage.
Is lust in general a sin?
What type of desire is appropiate in marriage?

Bible Answer: Hello tlhunter54

Both definitions you mention are given in the dictionary, so that doesn't really answer your question.

In Scripture, lust is always a strong or insatiable desire for something wrong. It's always negative and categorized as a sin.

Can you have those feelings for your spouse? Consider the Song of Solomon (I'm thinking especially of chapter 4). If that isn't intense desire for your wife, I don't know what is. These days we might give it a different term--passion.
