20 Jul Thread: Conjugal Prefer while the Elderly. Can there be point that couples arrive at inside their wedding once they just say “enough”, and mutually agree never to have relations anymore?

Conjugal Prefer and also the Elderly

Here are a few foolish but honest concerns.

Is a few expected to remain conjugally sexually active just because they truly are senior, beyond fertility, yet somehow have the capability and desiring it?

Are senior partners that engage in conjugal intercourse, but past their fertile years, in mortal sin by doing the work -- as a result of non-procreative part of it?

Can there be a true point that couples arrived at inside their marriage once they just say "enough", and mutually agree never to have relations any longer? And when therefore, are not they sinning by perhaps maybe not offering by themselves completely to one another?

Think about partners which can be round the "borderline" ages or about menopause? Can there be an "unwritten" intimate cut-off point someplace that couples should consent to? Why or why don't you?

The teachings on sexuality into the Catechism be seemingly geared just towards young and fertile partners. Possibly Pope John Paul II's Theology associated with the physical Body might deal with this?

First thought: understand that even yet in the Bible individuals after dark chronilogical age of fertility conceived - Sarah when you look at the OT & Elizabeth into the NT.
