Bible Note: Hello Beja, Here's how I would reply. I think the overriding emphasis (and weight) be given to Pauls' NT expounding on principles of married life in 1 Cor. 7. He's addressing the church of God, those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints. He devotes on entire chapter to the issues of marriage! Particular are the boundaries given in vs. 3 and 4 about sexual relations between husband and wife. There are no qualifications given except that in the following: verse 5, "Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time..." So, I would take this to be an issue left between the husband and his wife. I would not give Lev. 18:23 the same emphasis for my previously stated reasons:-) I hope this clarifies my point.
