Is that how it works, after all, religious people always characterize normal natural healthy "lust" as the devil tempting us to...well...do natural things...no...Im sorry...I meant "do sinful things".
Ok, so in marriage lust is good, therefore Satan must not be behind it...but wait....all humans get bored with the same thing over and over right or maybe thats Satan again, coming in to steal the goodly lust God gave us for our wives. Damn Satan is so powerful.
Then again, there a whole other camp of people who see "dwindling desire" as a sign from God that the relationship is no longer his will for you (God wants a divorce).
See what happens when stupid people take normal phenomena and try to explain it with God and the Devil? Desire is made into lust....which is even more tempting because of the taboo created. Getting a little bored of the same spouse becomes a "sign" or "spritual warfare" instead of a normal phenomena with rational solutions.

Sexual appetite is normal. Religion wants us to believe that what is natural is wrong. If people choose to impose rules and regulations on their lives, fine by me. But stay out of my world with your farking rules.

They're always blaming the devil for their own sins. Sadly they blaspheme the Lord in implying that while their own god has no ability to subvert free will, they claim that the "devil made them do it". The whole system of Christianity is based on the premise that some invisible, mythical being will forgive them once every sunday, so they can be free to sin all they want the rest of the week. Then when somebody does manage to confront them on this, they use the Devil as a scapegoat for their own choices.
It's called having your cake and eating it too. God says screw the facade... sin responsibly.

Stop blaming the devil for your moral failings. Accept responsibility for your own thoughts and actions.
Lust is never good, even in a marriage. Lust is the desire of another person for ones own gratification. This is not the desire that is called for in a marriage. The desire should be to express your love for the other person in a loving, life giving, physical way.

Lust does not = good.
Sex does not = bad.
Marriage is a state in which men and women can bond and sex is a part of that.
As far as the lust part, that is all on you.
Notice this. Despite all of the anti-marriage sentiment... People naturally couple off. One man and one women. Even atheists.

I see no reason to believe in either god or satan. Lust is a natural phenomenon, selected by evolution to continue the species.

First I don't think you lust after you spouse...I don't know I'm not married...second Satan doesn't make you lust...your body has a natural desire to have sex. you just have to control it until you're married.

Demonic possision is rare.
The "lust" comes from ignorance of understanding what "love" is. Lust is seeking self gratification while love is self giving. Simple words that many need much practice with and patience with. However, the men I've seen who come to understand "love" are often offended by those who "lust." {"They were blind, but now they see"}
The Blessed Mother Teresa said, "There is more hungar for love in the world than hungar for bread. It is easier to treat the hungar for bread than it is to treat the hungar for love."

--The control of immoral lust is really upto us to deal with, based on whether we want to or not!
Note the principle involved and the steps to immorality of any kind:
(James 1:13-15) “13Â When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. 14Â But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. 15Â Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.”
Note the choices we have, which can also be the woman's choice of a man:
(Proverbs 5:15-20) “15Â Drink water(Enjoy sex with your married partner(my comments) out of your own cistern, and tricklings out of the midst of your own well. 16Â Should your springs be scattered out of doors, [your] streams of water in the public squares themselves? 17Â Let them prove to be for you alone, and not for strangers with you. 18Â Let your water source prove to be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth, 19Â a lovable hind and a charming mountain goat. Let her own breasts intoxicate you at all times. With her love may you be in an ecstasy constantly. 20Â So why should you, my son, be in an ecstasy with a strange woman or embrace the bosom of a foreign woman?”
--The perversions of Hollywood sex style is an a total farce!
--As far as boredom of a mate, that is a poor excuse, the BEST OF SEX comes from a mate you have pleased and continue to learn to please, and visa versa.

It's just the constant struggle between the carnal man and the spirit man. Just remember All things are possible in Christ.
