Bible Question: Can a man lust after his wife? If so, is it sin? |
Bible Answer: To lust was to desire something that you cannot righteously have. In light of this I do not believe one can 'lust' after ones wife. You can have all the fantasies about your wife you want (as long as it doesn't involve other people or perverse behavior) - better her that the floosie down the street. Maybe that is why God gives men wives - so we will have a place for our sexual energy to be directed. |
