That is probably why people are concentrating on men's control over women's body. Most Christian articles that I read on this subject are aimed at women submitting to their husbands and not the other way around.But, don't you see that is wrong? In order for that to work (women only submitting to men) 2/3s of what follows has to be ignored. When you put everything in it's context both partners have been equal or a 50/50 say in sex. The man Has control over the Woman, and in turn the Woman has control over the man. not only that they can agree to stop for a while if need be.
Quote:The verse you quote could easily be used to guilt someone into believing that they must have sex or that they aren't real Christians. Whether a woman uses it against a man or a man uses it against a woman, it is still wrong.The only thing wrong with that verse is those who misuse it, but that is true of anyone who misuses anything for a purpose something good was not designed for.
Quote:I own my own body just like my husband owns his. We have sex with one another because we want to have sex not because we feel obligated to perform a marital duty.Not all situations married couples experience are like that of you or your husband.
Sometimes kids having them as well as not having them, work, family, and the like can sometimes make sex a chore for one partner or the other. What is being said here is that one partner should not deny the other just because they can, that both should be living and working for each others needs and well being.
