people like this are fake ass christians. “it’s okay to rape your spouse since you’re married” how could you think god is in favor of rape?

This is absolutely baffling. I’m not religious but all of my religious friends every time I’ve talked to them are HEAVY on consent

it’s the way that i am ASHAMED i was christian. this mindset is unfortunately common within the religion. no one should ever have authority over your own body… no means no and consent is still important no matter if you’re religious or not.

Outside of conservative evangelicals (many sects of which are pretty culty, speaking as a non evangelical Protestant), no, Christians don’t believe this. This is not normal and Jesus never said to rape people.

I could see why they think that, because 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 basically says you have authority over your spouse’s body and your spouse has authority over your body and not to deprive one another. HOWEVER, that is in the context of that we as humans are sexual beings, you should have sex in a marriage so you are not tempted to commit adultery. It doesn’t mean consent doesn’t exist and God 100% does NOT intend for you to be raped in your marriage💗

yes she did say that it’s especially important for women to not deny their husbands sex so they’re not tempted to cheat

It’s kind of like that but it’s not that gross lol. It’s not like “you can never say no”, it’s more like have sex a healthy amount, humans are sexual and it’s good for you to have sex within your marriage. Also in Ephesians 5:25 it says “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her”. So any marriage where the husband is using 1 Corinthians to take advantage of his wife is not behaving righteously.

The people who take advantage of it definitely make it seem like that. I’m sure it depends on your church and family but as someone from a very Christian background, I have never heard it taught that it’s acceptable to abuse your relationship in that way. Any church that does teach is not teaching the Bible correctly.

and yes you can in fact deny having sex with someone. i don’t care what anyone says or if it’s “against the bible.” it’s bullshit. you’re allowed to say no to your partner and if they don’t respect you breakup with them and/or divorce their ass.

It’s not saying that you can’t say no. It’s about intimacy and trust within your marriage, and that sex is part of that righteous marriage. It’s not saying you must have sex whenever your partner wants, it’s saying be faithful to your marriage and keep it healthy (which includes having a sexual relationship with your spouse), and don’t let either of you be tempted to turn outside of your marriage.

spoiler alert: people still cheat even if they’re married and even if they’re having sex with you. you can still get cheated on. you can have a sexual relationship with anyone regardless of marital status but that doesn’t mean you have to have sex with them every time they might want to.
