Question
My spouse is still with their AP but makes indications that it will end and that we will eventually get back together. I am embarrassed to ask this but would like to know, what, if anything, do you think the bible says about getting the sexual needs of the betrayed spouse met? Ideally we'd be reconciled and working on that dynamic together but as more and more time goes by without being together the need continues to build up. Is masturbation appropriate? Is it harmful or helpful? Should I pursue a sexual relationship with my spouse since we are, after all, still married? Other thoughts?
