That could be why we're encouraged to get married young.
That's for all you men putting off marriage till you're in your 30s. |
Consuming turmeric, and riding bicycles (due to vibrations) can also achieve the same benefits. So I think there are more compelling reasons out there

I guess desi bike-riders have it the best then. No wonder wheelworks is 83 and still not married.
infamousbrown: Islamically, probably not, as there are alternatives, yeah? I just said that the Islamic solution is to get married young.  But hey, it's between you and Allah.

I didn't either. I meant 'you' in general.
As in whoever uses that justification.
My other response to Bravo was gonna be "Yeah, but turmeric and bikes aren't sex!" Kinda painfully obvious though.

Re: Pros of being married?
Honestly, I was just sharing an interesting fact. It made me say "SubhanAllah" and think about the wisdom of Islam in encouraging us to get married young. Bravo, as a med student, gave some contrasting evidence but it stands: turmeric and bike-riding aren't sex. Which is an activity you get rewarded for within a marriage. SubhanAllah.
EDIT: And I don't see what the problem is if we're not speaking in a vulgar way and I maintain that I didn't. It is possible to speak of sex in a respectful way. Allah speaks of it in the Qur'an and the Prophet spoke of it. He even consulted with a woman who complained about her husband's lack in this regard, when the Companions laughed at her complaint. We're sexual beings and can have sex within marriage. It's a beautiful thing and not something to be ashamed of. We're not Christian, k?

Fair enough. However the next time you throw out a general 'you' as opposed to a specific one, you might want to avoid starting off your response by addressing a particular individual.
Just to avoid confusion. |

Re: Pros of being married?
infamousbrown: Okay, sure, but I always write the name of the person who I'm responding to, if I don't quote them. 'Cause I don't always use the multi-quote feature. But even if I had used that, I think you'd still think I was adressing just you.
So yeah... sorry, but I don't see how else I could have avoided that. Maybe if I hadn't used the word "you"? Sorry.

*runs away before people start throwing things*
oh, and just to add more drama to my post: sex.
|
haha, I like that last addition
If a woman doesn't need to work and has skillzzz, I actually think it's kind of injustice for her NOT to volunteer (assuming she has time, not too bogged down with kids, etc). I mean if my husband is making enough for us to live comfortably, I have a law degree, but I choose to work in some firm for mucho moolah while there are civil rights organizations just trying to get by, I think it's somewhat unfair. I'd volunteer. I've always loved it  |
