Don't assume.
I'm sorry, ejp. I thought about that after I posted it, that it might come across a bit aggressive, but by that time it was too late to go back and change it. So my apologies. I know you didn't say that, but the wording of your original post made it sound like that was a major concern. What else do you mean by "not sexually compatible"? The way I see it, so long as the anatomy and the virtues are in place (which should be determined before marriage ever takes place), the rest is superfluous. Properly virtuous couples should be able to accomodate for the needs and deficiencies of the other. I suppose I'm just not understanding you clearly, and I apologize for making such personal remarks.
