RAW POTATOES I MEAN WHY HAVE SEX WHEN YOU CAN EAT RAW POTATOES
NOTHING LIKE A RAW POTATO TO KILL YOUR BONER
…ok, not a religious scholar, but, if they’ve never had sex, they never consummated, so they aren’t married so far as the Church is concerned, right?
BOOM!
There’s also the whole “procreate to replenish the earth” thing. Aren’t religious people big on having children?
I’m a Christian and I find this completely ridiculous. Why get married if you don’t intend to “be married.” To my understanding celibacy is a good thing, if people give sex up for God. But to add marriage into the mix? That’s almost a lie.
If I may I’m going to ignore the news articule and just focus on your comment, darling. I completely understand where you’re coming from, considering that society says that a ‘normal’ relationship is about sex and romance. I would really like to answer the “Why add marriage to the mix” question.
Let’s say that you don’t have sexual attraction (you’re asexual or gray sexual) and/or you don’t feel romantic love (aromantic/gray romantic) To make this more concrete, I’ll use myself as an example. I am gray romantic; I don’t feel romantic love often. I do sometimes. I also am graysexual; I can go months, even years without anything other than masturbation and not miss it. It’s not that I don’t enjoy sex, it’s just that it’s not something that’s all that important to me. I couldn’t live without writing, but I could without sex.
So sex and romance are two factors in a marriage. They are not, however, the only factors and I think that’s where it’s important to look at what ‘being married’ is. Marriage is a partnership. It’s cuddling in bed, watching tv together, preparing meals together. It’s having someone to come home to at the end of the day, having someone to listen to you, taking trips together, celebrating holidays with. For some people it’s having children together and raising them.
Does the fact that you have all those things but when you go to bed you hold each other and don’t have sex make the whole relationship invalid? Can two people be completely devoted and committed to each other without there being bodily fluids exchanged?
The article is silly; maybe it’s fake meant to mock Christians, or maybe it’s real. I don’t know. I don’t care. But it does bring up an issue that I think is important. Society says that a relationship/marriage is only ‘real’ if it’s based on sex and love, and that makes things really difficult for people who don’t fit in the mold that society demands. Asexuals, graysexuals, aromantics, and gray romantics can still be in committed loving relationships.
Disclaimer: I see the validity of your statement, Lost, and if it were possible, I would put the “What Lost said” gif here.
But that doesn’t stop me from thinking the husband REALLY REALLY REALLY wants sex.
Because, you know, it’s a God damn raw potato.
I think you’re right about the two of them really wanting sex, lol. I understand people who don’t feel much of a desire to do anything particularly sexual (I’m asexual too, I think if I ever get married, it’ll be non-sexual, for the most part) - but these two people have sexual desires for each other and it’s a little unnecessary for them to abstain, really!
If they did not have the desire to have sex- why would they need to separate from touching, spray water on her face or eat a potato?
If they were asexual them fine. Good for them to find each other. However they are not celibate because they are asexual. They are celibate because they think it is “holier”.
They feel their God is cruel. He gave them desires, a way to fulfill them within God’s purpose but in order to be extra special Holy you must now suffer? How is this a glory to God?
If this is what they want to do… then good for them. It’s their choice to do this. It doesn’t affect me in the slightest and it’s none of my fucking business anyway. No one should care what they do or don’t do about the sexual aspect of their marriage.

Southern Belle: mr-finch: rmoore79: Hahamr-finch: Shaw hate. Shaw hate for “being too...
Haha
haha how moronic to think that shippers would hate on shawShaw hate.
Shaw hate for “being too violent” or otherwise “unfeminine.”
Shaw hate because she might ~one day~ interfere with a ship.
I’m not “thinking” that…
Summer Hiatus + moving the show to Tuesday=SHAW as Scapegoat
Oh, Irrelevants… as if it’s not bad enough that we’re fighting about the show. Do we really need to start FIGHTING ABOUT WHY WE’RE FIGHTING ABOUT THE SHOW?
What is only like 8 days into the hiatus? Jesus H. Christ. Is it fucking September yet?

What to expect from Person of Interest in Season 3:
“Person of Interest” Season 2 might have just wrapped up in the finale episode “God Mode,” but fans at least know they have a lot of fun in store for them when the CBS series returns with Season 3 later this year. If waiting for the fall TV season to kick off seems too far away, here are some teases of what you can expect when “Person of Interest.”
Zap2it recently had the chance to catch up with “Person of Interest” showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Greg Plageman, and they revealed at the time that a lot of major Season 2 storylines would need to wait until Season 3 to be resolved. Here’s a breakdown of what’s going to be tackled in future episodes.
Where is the Machine?
We came so close but so far to finding out where the Machine was in “God Mode,” and since fans ended up with more questions than answers, they can bet that the Machine’s location is something that will continue to be explored in Season 3. As Plageman asks us about future storylines, “Where’s the Machine?!”
Root will probably be back again
Amy Acker has been a joy to watch on “Person of Interest,” and Nolan and Plageman are as reluctant to give her up as we are. If the cliffhanger in “God Mode” wasn’t enough of a hint, Acker will definitely be back for more in Season 3. “We absolutely adore Amy,” Nolan says. “She’s an incredible actor. She’s been such an amazing character on the show, but as you know, in this show, nothing is sacred.”
Major characters could still die
That statement seems to imply that no one is safe on “Person of Interest” (okay, except maybe Reese and Finch — maybe). Plageman reminds viewers that he and Nolan have no qualms about killing off significant characters. “We seem to have a penchant for killing off really good actors. Sad but true,” he says.
HR will continue to be an enemy
Carter’s run-ins with HR have been a major storyline in Season 2, and Nolan says that in Season 3 the folks behind HR will continue to be an issue the leads in “Person of Interest” will have to deal with. “HR’s a problem, and a solution is not yet in sight,” Nolan teases. “We’ll probably be hearing from them again in the third season. And, you know, although there is resolution of a sort in this finale, you’ve still got a lot of — our goal season to season is to continue to A-up and raise the stakes every year.”
The balance between episodic storylines and season-long plot lines will remain the same
Nolan and Plageman have found a winning balance between the episodic nature of “Person of Interest” and its overarching storylines, and they don’t plan to change that any time soon. “We had great fun this season weaving back and forth between stories of the week and the larger story,” Nolan says. “We love doing both, and we feel like we hope that we’ve struck a really good balance between those things, so we’re going to aim for the same balance next season.”

![The Person of Interest season 2 finale, called “God Mode,” airs on Thursday, May 9 at 9pm on CBS. In the episode, guest star Carrie Preston returns as Finch’s love Grace Hendricks and BuddyTV spoke with Preston exclusively about what fans can expect from Grace in the finale.
Check out what Preston had to say about her part in finale, how Grace might react if she knew the truth about Harold, her favorite scene to shoot and what it was like working with her husband (Michael Emerson, who plays Harold Finch on the show).
What can you say about the season finale?
Carrie Preston: It’s very interesting because I shot those scenes back in November or December when they had to shoot all of my stuff before I went back to work on True Blood. So my scene were shot completely out of context from the rest of the script. They hadn’t finished writing the script, they had to in some ways make some decisions that they wouldn’t have made early about how they were going to carry out the scenes and what they were going to do with them. In some cases they even shot a couple of different endings to one of the scenes. So I don’t know exactly how they’re going to fold those in and how they’re going to be edited together. I also shot the scene where he proposed to me at the same time and we originally thought that was all going to be in one episode and then they spread it out. I’m going to be just as surprised as everyone else. Obviously Michael read the script and knows where the finale is going, but even he doesn’t know exactly how they’re going to edit it together and what they’re going to reveal and what they’re going to save.
Are all of your scenes in the past or are we going to see Grace in the present in this episode?
Carrie Preston: It will be in the past. The remaining scenes [in the finale] will be from the past.
Could we see her back again next season?
Exclusive ‘Person of Interest’ Interview: Carrie Preston Talks About the Season 2 Finale and More
Carrie Preston: On a show that always dips back and forth between the present and the past, I would think that there would be opportunity to either continue to explore the past or to see what’s happening in the present. So, maybe? I would love that, it would be quite fun.
If Harold walked up to Grace’s door and told her everything and said he wanted to be with her again, do you think she’d take him back or would she not be able to forgive the fact that he lied to her for so long?
Carrie Preston: I think that she would definitely take him back. She made it very clear that she’s a person who is someone who accepts a person for who they are and that he could tell her anything and she would be okay with it. They seem to be soul mates. I’m sure it would be a lot to take in, but I would imagine that she would just be so grateful that he was still there because she’s been mourning him. But I think also she would probably want to hold on tighter, she wouldn’t want to lose him a second time.
Would Grace ask Harold to give up his connection to the Machine because it is so dangerous or would she embrace that life and maybe want to help?
Carrie Preston: I think probably her first concern would be for his safety, but at the same time she would probably really appreciate that he is doing a lot of good in the world with it. I guess she would just be, in a lot of ways, supportive of that; the bigger picture of what he’s able to do and the lives he’s saving because of this machine. We’ll see, I mean it looks like The Machine is quite compromised right now so it’ll be curious to see how they get out of that predicament.
What’s it like working with your husband on the show?
Carrie Preston: It’s quite nice because so many times you go on these shows you’re a guest star and you’re a pinch hitter and you have to really go in there and create a whole history with the other actor and you have to trust each other immediately. Sometimes that can take a little time and be a little challenging and in this case we obviously trust each other and respect each other as actors and love each other. So all that work that you usually have to do was already done so we then we could just get there and focus on the scene and figure out the scene together. It was also fun for me too, because Michael has been on that show for a while and was very comfortable with the character and the crew and the whole thing. When I walked on set to rehearse with him it felt to me like I was actually spending time with Mr. Finch and not my husband. So that was very helpful for me to get into the character that I didn’t know nearly as well as he knows his. So it was very helpful, he was able to — without even knowing his was doing it — he was able to help me to really be comfortable in the skin of this character that I was really just now getting to know
Any favorite scenes you’ve done as Grace?
Carrie Preston: I would say it was the scene at the Guggenheim. It was just so wonderful to go to that incredible museum after hours. We were the only ones in there besides the security and the crew and everything, but to be in that museum and shooting after hours was a really special experience that I wouldn’t have ever thought I would have. But I was getting so nervous because the cameras were getting so close to these Picassos and all these priceless pieces of art - - there we were acting with them right next to us.
What do you think now that you’ve heard a little more about the Person of Interest finale from Carrie Preston? What do you think will happen to The Machine? Any theories on what we’re going to see from Harold and Grace’s past in the episode?
