Thank you for your kind words! And it doesn’t have to be in the Bible when I have lived and I understand how vacuous sex without love is, for instance, and how damaging it can be for both parties involved (well, one I know by experience and the other by observation). Why would God want that for me? But Jesus was very much against it for instance (“your sins are forgiven” to the ‘sinful woman’ because there was something wrong there, not because there wasn’t), and the Qur’an is thoroughly and consistently against turning sex into a banal experience as well.
Yeah, if my guess was wrong and you’re actually Muslim, I don’t know the whole doctrine. I know bits and pieces, and it seems a fair bit more self-consistent based on them, although also very, very at odds with modern attitudes about certain things I’m sure other Lemmings will eventually confront you with.
(Jesus was pretty emphatically against even divorce in the Bible, including in that parable, while protestants aren’t necessarily. And the ones that do avoid it at all cost often end up in loveless marriages, which is definitely not great for your mental health, or that of your children)
