Erm . . . you know the whole story, blackmail and patronising skills all at once.
'Baybee, do you think our whole relationship is based on intimacy??' . . . 'Come on b, you know I value what we share'

Result is . . .'why don't we go celibate for lent' and you've got the grin on like it's your birthday in Vegas. grin grin

Would you go celibate for a whole 40 days??

I probably can. . . but i may then focus too much on the wrong hunger, so much so that my Lent would then look like ordinary life.

How long is lent?
When is it set to start and finish?

Answers to the above questions would be appreciated as I need to plan ahead.

It starts today, which is Ash Wednesday, and ends 40 days from today which will be Good Friday and then Easter Sunday!

The Lenten season is the Church’s (Catholic) way of preparing for Easter. It takes after the example of JC who fasted for 40 days in the desert and its emphasis is on prayer, fasting and abstinence. The church sees it as a way to master the evil one and grow to perfection.

Each season comes with a time of sober reflection and chastisement for our sins. It’ll definitely be ‘uncatholic’ to be having intimacy this period. Infact even married couples are often advised to stay away from intimacy as much as possible during this time. Everything that brings joy to the flesh is frowned upon (which is why we they don’t’ even say ‘Alleluia’ during lent). It’s not so much about the sin involved as it is about the pleasure derived from it.

So yes, every good catholic who is involved in pre-marital intimacy should at least try to abstain from it during this time . . . undecided

I'm letting go of my Ipod, Itunes and any other individually-controlled source of music.
The joy I derive from music is detrimental to my spiritual growth cheesy cheesy

Lent is just the Latin word for fortieth day.
Re: Would You Go Celibate For Lent? by ravenzord(m): 10:21pm On Feb 17, 2010
Was Jesus Latin? And did his disciples fast with him?

Dude . . . I'm not going to go into an argument about what language Jesus spoke or whether or not we should try to emulate Jesus in his ways.
This is the romance section.

It's simple, if you were to observe lent, would you give up sex for it??

Hope folks did not eat meat yesterday (Ash Wednesday)

And is eating meat on Fridays out of the order of lent
Re: Would You Go Celibate For Lent? by Nobody: 11:44pm On Feb 19, 2010
^^^ No! It's only on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday that you are to abstain from eating meat. Every other day is at your own discretion!

Well . . . I don't know what you're driving at but I think when one half of a couple tries to go celibate, it sounds like sumn for the Romance Section.
If you can't relate with that, there's about a thousand other topics to choose from.
