SEXUAL DRIVES ARE STRONG, but MARRIAGE is STRONG enough to CONTAIN them and provide for a BALANCED and FULFILLING sexual life in a world of sexual disorder. The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality\u2014the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband. Marriage is not a place to \u201cstand up for your rights.\u201d Marriage is a decision to serve the other, whether in bed or out. Abstaining from sex is permissible for a period of time if you both agree to it, and if it\u2019s for the purposes of prayer and fasting\u2014but only for such times. Then come back together again.
