On a serious note, I do not believe we "owe" our spouses sex. It should be something that is mutually looked forward to, mutually shared, and mutually beneficial. Anything outside of that is "work". </div></div>
...in a perfect world this is the right answer. in the real world of real/imagined slights, porn, infidelity, etc. it just doesn't work like that. </div></div>
Point taken, but I believe this is possible in relationships where both spouses are mature (i.e. responsible, caring, etc..) enough to honor their commitment to each other and want a good, not perfect, marriage. If we look at the "real world" big picture, it may seem impossible, but it is something that individual couples can strive for. I do concede that some are past that point and are just living out a relationship where sex is either the only thing of common interest, something to be used to get one's way, or done out of duty.
