I wish people would stop quoting this verse. It makes me physically ill.
If people didn't use it as an excuse to rape their spouses, it wouldn't make me sick. But then, that's the reason most of the bible makes me sick. It is either explicit permission/order to do something horrible and unspeakable, or it is something that can easily be interpreted as such.
