of me? You know the kind I'm talking about. He's in the military and deployed to S. Korea for a year. He asked me for some, and I don't mind. Trust is not an issue here. The question is, is it a sin to take those pictures for my husband?

I definitely think you should send the pictures. Here's why.
(1) The reason Paul gives [in 1 Cor 7:1-7] for marriage is that it gives us a good context to control and manage lust so that our focus can be more readily given to God, to being a new creation. In a long-distance situation it is clear how this benefit would be strained. I think extending the benefit across the sea is in keeping with the intent behind marriage.
(2) 1 Corinthians 7:3-4: "The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife."
(3) Contrary to the implicit beliefs of some folks who have posted answers for you, there are ZERO verses in the Bible about masturbation. There are verses about lust - looking at a woman lustfully is a sin, for example. Again, I would suggest that according to Paul the marriage relationship itself is the best context for channeling lust so that masturbation and images are probably the best option for you guys. And remember that all these taboos about masturbation are the work of many centuries of a celibate clergy and then a group who find sex itself objectionable and dirty. It isn't at all, but the instincts and emotions of the body must be controlled and channeled correctly. I think it's hard to argue that your husband's [and your own] bodily impulses are best left unaddressed and untended. That doesn't match up with Paul's comments cited above.
I hope this is helpful for you! Thanks to your husband for his service, thanks to you for your sacrifice, and I hope for many happy, loving, sexy times ahead for you when he comes home!

Since when does God consider normal relations between a husband and wife sinful? Not by my Bible, fer sure! Take those pics, send 'em off to hubby and know that he's insanely happy with you! Heh - I've been where he is, and I can tell ya - us guys sure did appreciate our wives being so accommodating while we were "over there". I was so pleased that the day I got home I showed my wife my appreciation - and that appreciation became Matt, our youngest son!

No, I don't see how that would be a sin. It's the same as your husband seeing you naked or in lingerie while he's home.
By the way, I wish you the best of luck. Hardest job in the world? Being a military wife. I would know, I'm one myself!

we pay attention one facet of the tale. what's the different facet? possibly he's no longer made to sense like a guy at domicile. And earlier you ladies people start up in on me permit me say something. As a guy gets older he needs to be made to sense wished, enjoyed, and excited. As marriages progression, women people drop that and don't see the mans needs development. They sense they have a wonderfully regularly occurring marriage and intercourse life whilst in certainty they are neglecting him. you desire to maintain your guy for 30 - 50 years then make him sense like a guy. get grimy in case you will possibly desire to. in any different case some lovable ingredient will wiggle her tail and take him away. cardinal rule of marriage: in no way permit the guy leave the domicile hungry or sexy. I wager your life collectively is boring and boring. The indicators and indicators are there, in case you do no longer restoration it somebody else will. After 26 years being married the spouse and that i nevertheless throw down contained in the lower back seat of the automobile, on the sea coast, under a bridge, a picnic table on the lake, ect. it rather is a hell of a woman and that i arise each day chuffed to be along with her. placed some exhilaration in his life and additionally you wont might desire to be anxious approximately her and her photos. Sorry to offend you ladies, yet once you do no longer comprehend us you wont have us for all times. and those that start up bitching approximately what I stated, you're what i'm speaking approximately. you like your guy to think of your the maximum popular ingredient contained in the international? then you definately gotta act like it. Take charge and administration your marriage or it is going to slip into boredom, affairs, divorce, in basic terms my 2 cents, take it or leave it.

I would respectfully deny his request. These kind of pictures have a way of getting 'out' even when we don't mean for them to. I think a bikini shot would be plenty. Also, remember, if you are a Christian your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. You should respect yourself and your body and not do something to bring it dishonor.

If trust is not an issue, I don't see anything wrong with it.

if you need to use a wide-angle lens to get all of you in the picture, I'd advise against it.
