I missed a word there. The really question is: is masturbating with your wife in a marriage context a sin?
What does the bible say about that?

How would you masturbate with your wife wouldn't that just be foreplay? I'm confused

No. But talking about what you and your wife do in your marriage bed on the world wide web might be a little disrespectful to your wife. Isn't there a man in your church that you can speak to in confidence? I hope no one on here knows who the two of you are.
Anyway, as long as you both are consenting to what is being done then it is ok. However, sodomy and introducing pornography both defile what God considers to be your sacred marriage bed.
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS:
I think it also depends on what you are thinking about while you are masturbating with her. Are you thinking about other men (As your previous questions suggest might be the case?) You need your thought and deed to be devoted to her. The Bible is clear that even thinking of another person in a sexual way is adultery. "We are to take our thoughts captive." This means that if you are prefering to masturbate and entertain thoughts outside the confines of your marriage, then yes, masturbating with your wife would then be a sin.
Good luck and may God bless you and guide you as the head of your home and marriage.

No. The marriage bed is good and undefiled. The question to ask regarding whether or not something is sin is, "Does this bring honor and glory to God". Physically pleasing your wife in a manner that causes her no harm is honoring God's commandment. As long as neither of you entertain thoughts of someone outside of your marriage while you masturbate and as long as neither of you withholds sex from the other because of masturbation, then you are honoring one another and God.

Do you have any idea what a STUPID question that is?
Sex is a gift of God, given to enhance the joy between a man and a woman in a committed marriage relationship.
My advice to you and your wife is...close the door, and have fun.
Quit worrying about what anyone else thinks, what goes on behind your bedroom door is nobody's business but your own.

Not a sin. I don't think the bible addresses this directly, but even the Catholic Church sanctions stimulation of each other's genitals as long as it leads to a procreative act. In other words, no birth control and you have to finish up inside her vagina.

Masturbation isn't prohibited by the bible with or without a spouse.

God people ask crazy questions. Religion aside I think that if it makes you feel bad don't do it. I think that is a simple rule with anything. Trust your own feelings on things, don't bring religion into it.

Hey jackbauer, I guess I could shove a grenade down your pant's and that wouldn't be a sin would it?

Within marriage, you can do what you like and it is not a sin
