SUMMARY
Is it Biblical for a man to expect sex from his wife? What about for a woman to expect an emotional connection from her husband? Are there extra stipulations we put on our sex with our spouse in order for our needs to be met? These questions might feel awkward and personal, but can be vital to a healthy sex life in marriage.
