No...

It should never be. It holds the bond between 2 people. If it comes down to having none, then the bond is not as strong and it makes it hard for one person who wants it to be with the person that does not want it.
The person that is left out feels unwanted and no longer loved when he was first married.
Yes, I am there and it sucks.

say, if you're asexual, that's probably the only type of marriage you'll have.

If you don't keep close to each other then that leaves ample opportunity to do so with someone else.

Please go troll somewhere else, the bible allows far worse things than gay marriage.

Nope, when you seriously look at the bible and see all the strange and extremely inappropriate in today's day and age gay marriage really isn't as bad as say a virgin having to marry her rapist, a solider taking a prisoner of war and forcing her to marry him, or all the weird things that talk about slaves and concubines.

As religious texts are not good guidelines for marriage practices after you've looked into what they are actually saying. lol

Then whats with the obsession with gays? I think jay might be gay

reply
Curmudgeon to rustex782 2012/07/13 23:18:06

No obsession here, just getting sick of all the people waving bibles telling me that marriage is only between a man and a woman. We have them in Canada too sadly.

I'm an atheist and I know these people are lying. lol

watch it, or they might scream at you and demand that you prove they are lying with scientific research

That would be hilarious to have a religious person demand scientific proof of scripture. As that would be one of those things you hear and your brain stops for a second to try and understand how someone can say something so crazy...

If you are married to a woman child or a man child then sex is not going to be much.

that's the healthy part! I could not do that, there has to be physical contact for me! unless your going into clerigy or just become celibate for whatever you think is a message from a higher power!

It's apart of the marriage and it keeps it healthy.

A marriage is a marriage because of love, not sex. Sure, sex is one of the ways to prove one's love for the other, but it's not the only one.
If a couple wants to have a sexless marriage, what's wrong with that? It's their decision, and I don't think it's anyone's business.

It is up to the people that are married and involved in the "sexless" marriage. Why is it anyone else's business or right to cast judgement upon what works for others?

Yes...

If due to illness, or disability, or natural family planning during a rough spot financially, then yes, (if agreed within the couple). Otherwise no. There is a duty within Christian married couples to engage in the marital embrace. Other religions and backgrounds, I don't know.
