Transactional Marriage
ByTony Woodlief reads Gary Thomas’s Sacred Influence: How God Uses Wives to Shape the Souls of Their Husbands and plucks out this little nugget:
“If you’ve stopped caring whether you’re ‘good in bed,’ then you’re giving less effort to your marriage than many a mistress would give to her adultery. Does that attitude honor God?”
Woodlief's response:
I don’t think I’ve ever seen, in an ostensibly Christian book, a statement more theologically errant, more offensive to logic, more contemptuous of women, or more reprehensible in its characterization of marriage and God. Stop scheming for better sex techniques, it says, and you are worse than a whore. The logic is positively Orwellian. I’m sure that’s not what Thomas believes about wives who have not been attentive to their sexual prowess, but that’s what his words mean.
