I'm not talking about checking email and looking up recipes. I mean, how do you feel about them having say, an answers account, and posting their pictures for other men to look at and lust after online. Not every man that uses the internet is Christian, that's for sure.

Even if they aren't posting provacative pictures, men still lust after pretty faces and clothed bodies.

You might as well say, "DON'T LET YOUR WIFE OUT OF THE HOUSE, SOMEONE WILL LUST AFTER HER CLOTHED BODY."
It's no different than the "DON'T LET HER GET ONLINE, SHE'LL END UP BEING MASTERBATED TO" insinuation.
You're lacking logic, and make religious people as a collective look stupid.

Having men look at her is something your have has had to deal with since her teenage years: it is something that nearly every woman has to deal with, Christian or not.
Now I admit that I am not currently married, but speaking as a follower of Christ I don't believe I would have any problem with her having an account or posting pictures for the following reasons:
1. I do not own my wife; she is an adult and is capable of making her own decisions.
2. Like I said, pretty much all women have learned to deal with guys staring at them, and my wife would be no different.
3. God will be looking out for her.
4. I will be looking out for her.
Speaking as a man, I understand where you are coming from: you care about your wife very much and you don't want anybody even thinking anything wrong about her. But sadly, we live in a demented world, and you just have to deal with it and let her go. I mean what's next, are you gonna lock her up in the house so guys on the street don't look at her? It's the same concept with the Internet.
My prayers go out to you and your wife, brother.

I'm a single Christian man ,b ut I don't think I would have a problem with my wife using the net(with or without a photo of her), I am looking for a good woman to be my wife, if she dressed in a way that caused men to lust after her I would not marry her.

Christian or not, I don't think ANYONE would approve of their significant other lusting after others online.
You need to get to the root of why she feels the need to do that. Perhaps something is missing in your marriage. If you can get to the root of the problem, maybe she will get all the attention she needs right there at home.
EDIT- I just read your additional information. If she hasn't posted provocative pictures then she's done nothing wrong. She can't stop people from lusting after her fully clothed, non sexual pictures. Hell, people lust after cartoon characters. I think you're being insecure and stirring up trouble because you can't control her every move. Sorry, buddy.

Okay, I'm not a man, but I am a Christian woman and I understand where your concern is coming from. I don't know this "answers" thing, but if it is something that is created for people to "rate" others, it's probably something that married people don't need to be getting into.
HOWEVER, if a married person is stooping to the point of asking people they don't even know to tell them how beautiful they are, they probably could have their loving spouse remind them of it. My recommendation: get away for a weekend to a place without television or internet, and just focus on the two of you. Tell her how wonderful she is and how beautiful YOU find her. Girls like to hear that once in awhile.

If it is for a singles website or something like that then it is strange. Im not sure what an answers account is, but I am guessing it is something like these where she would answer questions. I think if I were a guy looking for a woman to lust at her picture, the first place I would go would be to a porno site, not an answer site. Not even sure what an answer site is but either way, If it is alright for you to do, then it should be alright for her to do.

Oh so you can have an account on here but a married woman can't....
Not all women post naked pictures of them self.
And were you saying that it is alright if all the men on here were Christian, then she could post pictures or have an account??
You are not making sense.
(sorry Magik Kitty, I didn't mean to give you a thumbs down, that was supposed to be up, but it would appear my co-ordination is worse than I thought :( )

And yet here I thought marriage was about trust, doesn't sound like you trust your wife too much although you try to turn it to make it look like the fault of others.
Perhaps you should have your groceries delivered, put her in a snowsuit when she gets the kids off the bus, tint the windows on your car.... and then end up divorced because any woman in her right mind would not put with a situation like that.

You say "Not every man that uses the internet is Christian". Do you really believe that someone can't be a good person who isn't Christian?

It's her choice. If you trust her, there is nothing to worry about. She may be doing as a boost of self confidence or strictly entertainment. If she's doing things that go against your beleifs, maybe you should be telling her how serious of an affect this could have on your relationship. Bottom line, if she doesnt' care how you feel, you should give her the boot.
