Exactly, it's a natural thing, and doesn't have to be avoided at all by "abstaining". Allow the Lord to bless you with an amazing wife you love and you and her can be together and enjoy everything that was meant to be enjoyed. OliverRaw, if I listen to what you say, it sounds possible that He has done that already. Just give it a little time till the love between you guys grows stronger, and it will all come back. Don't worry, just chill, you will never be "dropped".
