Celibate Marriage?

Interesting arcticle:
LaRae Lundeen Fjellman could lose her state license as a massage therapist for having sexual relations with her husband.

Her husband, Kirk Fjellman, is a former client. He saw her professionally from October 2000 to May 2002, and the two say they started dating in July 2002. But when they consummated the relationship a few months later, they ran afoul of a Minnesota law that bans massage therapists from having sexual relations with former clients for two years.


Guess every guy needs to check all the laws before getting married huh:o)

Being a massage therapist would seem to be a conflict of interest to me in a marriage.

The type of personal and sometimes intimate contact given in certain massages is not something I'd want my wife doing with someone else.

Oops. I have a feeling if it comes down to it she'll just have to quit being a massage therapist.

Maybe she can be a stay at home mom.

Lol, and how in tarnation are they going to enforce this? Security cameras in the bedroom?

The only security cameras in my bedroom will be mine. Thank you very much.

The minister should have said:

Kirk, do you take her to be your lawfully wedded wife...as long as you both shall live and as long as you both remain sexually pure for the next two years?

Well said, David. And well said, Mercy.

My take; these laws are intended to prevent massage parlors from becoming brothels--which is often the case. I don't see how a two year waiting period is going to discourage a prospective "john" any more than a two day waiting period, though.

One more thought, Mercy; sex in marriage IS purity, unless one's doing things to one's spouse that systematically degrade and injure her or something like that.

(a quibble, but as a married man, an important one to me!) :^)

Yes, sex is good when done w/in the context of Scriptures.
