Do 'em in the butt.
Alrighty, after your additional details, I have to give some details here:
I'm a Christian, my wife and I go to church every week, and we raise our kids as Christians. However, one thing that bothers me about Yahoo Answers is the lack of any sense of humor and openness when it comes to religion.
My wife and I believe that we were led to one another by God, and we love and respect each other a TON in the bedroom. However, we're pretty darned freaky. We practice oral, vaginal and anal sex. We also get a little wild sometimes and practice domination and even anal fisting. It's all done with respect and my wife and I LOVE everything we do, or we wouldn't do it together. Since it brings us closer together, it feels great for both of us, and is freeing in so many ways, how can it be wrong?

Let's examine this a bit.
First of all, it's quite normal for a man to feel sexual attraction to women--that's only natural and God made us this way (and since He pronounced all of His creation to be "good" or "very good," that includes our sexual feelings).
Now, you can appreciate a woman as much more than just a collection of body parts. We have minds, souls, and personalities just as men do, and to love a woman in purity and holiness means that you see beyond the obvious differences, and see her as a whole person, not merely an object for your own gratification.
Marriage is held in very high esteem in the Bible; the Song of Solomon is some of the most beautiful poetry ever written, and it's a celebration of marital love, so it naturally follows that God is no prude when it comes to sexuality--BUT He did put a fence around it called marriage.
Now, if you see a woman and get a fleeting thought concerning her as a sexual object, the rule of 'you can't stop the birds from flying over your head but you can keep them from nesting in your hair' kicks in. In other words, you're a normal man and you're hardwired that way and the thoughts will come regardless, but you don't have to keep dwelling on them.
Once you start to reframe how you view women as a group, it won't be so difficult to see them as individuals like you, with souls as well as bodies.

Keep your heart holy and pure.
1 Timothy 1:5 "But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith".
This is the goal of every genuine committed christian. The love is the easy part, keeping the heart pure the conscience good and the faith sincere is the challange. I've heard so many Christians on here take the attitude, "Don't worry about sin, God will just forgive you." that I wonder that there is any love flowing from the hearts of christians any more at all.

Yes amen. purity is a virtue not too celebrated these days. I wonder what God thinks of all the tube tops and thong bathing suits down here lately. Or all the permiscuous sex and immodesty by both sexes. Sheesh whatever happened to inward beauty?
A married man should love his wife as Christ loved the church. How much did Christ love the church? He died for it. He had sacraficial love.

Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven...
What you need to do is look through the eyes of purity, and deny any lustful thoughts (first and formost) then through prayer, develop a relationship based upon moral behavior.
You will be more blessed than you could imagine.

God says to the husband to love His wife as Christ loves the church and gave himself for it.
We are to love them unconditionally. Does that mean that I love her regardless of what she does? Yes.
I may not approve of something she did, but true love doesn't rest on if she only does good things and nothing wrong.
If this were the case, None of us would have been loved by God enough for Him to send His son to die on the cross for us while we were yet sinners. We see them as God sees her. She is made in Gods' image, just as we were.
We may not realize it, but in order for us to love them, we have to be right with ourselves. What I mean by this is, if we don't know or are safe with ourselves we can not see nor treat them in the way that they deserve. Hope this helps..
Man,,,,,,, and I'm single JEEEEZZZZZZ. Maybe its because of my goatee

See the value of her as a person and respond with a love that is centered on her good, not on seeking enjoyment for yourself. God Bless you Daniel for seeking His ways. Peace :-)

Well I think you should care enought about her to want what is the best for her, love puts others ahead of itself. and I have been married 44 yrs and many times in a marriage you do that, you have to learn to scrafice for those you love..
Love her as your own body, thats Bible..

Love them like they are your sisters. Then reserve the romantic kind of love for one woman that you will marry. Proverbs 31:10-31 will tell you what qualities to look for in a wife.
