Dave, the problem is *hers* particularly if there is no “joyful submission” on the part of her husband in the faithful practice of the text we have undertaken.
“…if everyone had equal sex drive then Paul would never have needed to say anything.” Exactly! Great point.

It seems to me that the jurisdiction of the governing authority extends to a spouse’s spiritual disciplines regardless of how honorable they may be, if they have implications that infringe upon or disadvantage the other spouse.
