Charis,
I should add that it is wrong to assume that I know nothing about being treated as if woman was only for sex. I just prefer not to talk about any past experiences openly since my relationship with my husband is very satisfying and God-honoring. I am a logical kind of person and I try hard not to let past “issues” color the way I read the scriptures. I would rather look at all the factual things that are already there like word meanings, the grammar, the word construction and the entire context. There is too much that already is written into the scripture for me to speculate about what God might mean that He didn’t put clearly into the text. Again, I am willing to admit that I am wrong if it can be shown that there is a second witness that “use” can reference the emotional or spiritual side of a woman and not the physical body. I would encourage you to check the scriptures and bring to light any reference to “use” that I may have missed. My experiences or lack of experiences does not stop me from seeing the truth of God’s word that you could bring.

Blessings!
Cheryl
