It's additionally ironic to me that we claim all other created beauty as evidence of a loving creator and then proceed to recommend not looking at any women but our wives, totally ignoring that portion of created beauty - which probably speaks to us of our Creator more deeply than the beauty of a pinto horse.</p> <p>Of course, in our fallen world the longing that the beauty of other women may evoke in us is a temptation to be fought, but I believe it echoes the noble desire for pre-fall peace and community, albeit in a corrupted way.</p>
