[5thGenTexan]

That verse says she has authority over his body, too. If she tells him to stop, he should. Don’t try to use God’s word to condone the abuse of a person.

Yes, it goes both ways. But both are very clear. She can refuse and he can force. They are married. They gave consent when they gave their vows.

But the particular verse is pretty specific in its instruction. It’s talking about withholding sex and even warns of what happens when you do it. My pastor at the time had some interesting words for my then wife and she was quite angry with him. I learned a lot in those days and my current wife of 17 years is reaping the benefits - as am I.

I’m not “using” God’s word. I’m quoting it. Let the reader understand.
