A satisfying sex life in marriage is a byproduct of each partner fulfilling the role that God created for them in the union. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t desire that, it’s just that, if you’re doing what God created you to do, then, necessarily you’ll enjoy the benefits. Simply put, a satisfying sexual relationship with your spouse is a byproduct of obedience. I’ll have to listen to the whole talk for context.
@BrigidHigginsAMDGАй бұрын
Precisely - extremely well put. An uncomfortable truth perhaps for many of my own sex (and generation - Gen-Z Catholic here) in particular (the curse of Eve and the absence of by father figures and properly hierarchical marriages has certainly made “obedience” a scary word to many women who forget how much moral vetting ought to be done up-front prior to marriage, so that wives can trust their husband’s leadership without feeling the constant temptation and fear that they need to nag and criticize and challenge his every decision), but Aristotle and Aquinas both recognized the relationship of unequals as the root of the closest form of friendship and love for a reason! Equality and sameness (not equality of dignity in the sight of God), mean replaceability and interchangeability and the different gifts God has given to men and women mean that we *must* have different roles. Plus since nature itself is inherently hierarchical - in imitation of the heavenly order - part of those roles does indeed involve and necessitate that in any group (marriage, family, etc.) one person possess the final say, and in all frankness it stands perfectly to reason that the sex whose responsibilities include protection and provision should be accompanied with the responsibility-benefit (they always go hand-in-hand!) of leadership, because how can a husband and father keep his wife and child safe and provided for if they ignore his authority? The truth may be an uncomfortable one, but it’s only uncomfortable because of humanity’s fallen, sinful nature and our own sinful society’s pride and inversion of all that is natural!

Affection is needed in all marriages, there’s no such thing as too much affection towards your husband or wife. Always be loving, playing games by withdrawing affection will put more fuel on the fire and someone will end up hurt. That said, manipulating a spouse is controlling behaviour. Both actions could be considered a form of abuse. If a spouse is upset, you need to have respectful and open communication. Sometimes a marriage counsellor can help. A husband can still put his foot down whilst being affectionate.

They complain and whine and she looks at that like more ammunition. She doesnt attend any church or read any scripture since I converted. When we got married we were both methodists and regularly went to church and did bible study. Its not to say i dont stand up for myself, in fact im quite brutal towards her when it comes to how Im leading the family. My daughter is learning the rosary and attends mass every other week with me, my wife hates that. Weve had huge fights where she’ll say “im not allowed to talk about god anymore” well in those cases i just talk about him waaaaaay more, overwhelm her with jesus music, and will refuse to help her while im doing bible study. Idk what i could do to change the situation, besides praying as ive done for years now….. it seems the more i try the worse it gets. Its definitely a struggle but im certainly not a simp or a puppet. Compromises have to be made or both of our lives will be a living hell and i dont want to put the kids through that. Ive even had catholic friends say i should seek annulment or push her to leave. Im in it for the long haul, been together 10 years married for 6 and I’m never giving up on her. I love that woman no matter how much she hates the church.

There's raising the kids Catholic and being Catholic...and then there's using your Catholic faith as an oversized cartoon mallet and beating people over the head with it. The two are not the same thing. From what I've read from this comment, if you keep going the way you've been going, and you are going to drive your wife away from the faith permanently. I'd really recommend reading Dr. Greg Popcak's work on marriage (Catholic marriage therapist, and he's written on how to proceed when you convert but your spouse doesn't), and reading (or re-reading) Rome Sweet Home by Dr. Scott Hahn and paying attention to how he treats his wife after he converted but she hadn't yet. There's staying true to your convictions and then there's aggressive proselytizing...the first is necessary, the second never works. Again, I know I don't have a full picture, but it sounds like maybe you've been doing some of the second.

First things first if a spouse for any reason is “withholding sex” from their spouse, it’s sinful because you’ve now negated the marital vow promising to be with that person for better or worse in sickness and in health. Withholding sex is the reason most marriages end up in the gutter, now I completely agree with not simping for your wife, just know that her withholding sex now needs counseling is so she can deal with some personal issues and stop acting like a toddler who doesn’t get something she immediately wants even if it’s bad so now she weaponizes the marital union. Father Chad Ripperger talks about this failure of men and woman since Adam and Eve and it makes all the difference in understanding. He boils it down to men simp and don’t stand up against their wives for hard decisions and they lose respect for their husbands and end up cheating or divorcing. The other side is men take the lead and try to be good men and husbands but feminism tricked her into not wanting to be led and thinking she can do everything herself and the husband loses respect for her and ends up cheating or divorcing.

It’s pretty important to be careful if you discuss that scripture with your wife that you’re not suggesting she has to have sex even if she feels unloved

@@Seliz463 It goes both ways. It’s pretty clear that the term martial debt is straightforward. Again, this goes for both parties. If someone is trying to conceive, they aren’t always feeling butterflies, yet the union still occurs. It’s a duty to each of the spouses, men included.

@@KyleVaughan1996that sounds like a misuse of sex. Christopher West discusses how he was feeling used by how his wife was timing sex specifically to conceive, and ultimately she apologized and they did not have sex that cycle because they needed to reset. You are not supposed to just have sex when you don’t feel loved, or worse-used, by your spouse. That’s not what the “marital debt” concept is about. Also there is hardly a faster way to turn off a woman than to point to the Bible and tell her she has to have sex with you. Not exactly a romance producer, nor remotely respectful of her or of yourself. Can’t imagine a man feeling dignified for having to resort to that. Or a woman, if it were reversed like in West’s case.

There are so many things wrong with this clip that it's hard to fit them all into a YT comment. They fall into two main categories, psychological and biblical: (1) There's so much faulty, amateur psychology happening here. Women were also taken care of by their mothers that way, so on his logic all women should be lesbians. (2) A healthy marriage is a genuine partnership, not treating your wife like a child who will appreciate it later when she grows up. (3) Has this man ever heard of love and passion? Has he ever read The Song of Songs? I guess he'd say the author of that biblical book "hasn't grown up." (4) In Genesis 2 Scripture states that a man is literally destined to "cling" to his woman and become one flesh with her. What this dude calls the motive for "simping" is the Divinely ordered nature of life.

@@thinker646 I appreciate your reply. Besides other points, remember that when Sarah told Abraham that he should send Hagar and Ishmael away, God told him to obey Sarah in whatever she says about the situation. God doesn't tell Sarah to follow Abraham's husbandly leadership.

I think that you should look into the translation of "ezer k'nebo", Matt. I hope you're not rethinking the way you treat your wife because of some internet "alpha male" bollocks. Youre going down that road with this way of thinking. I dont recommend you follow it any further. You will hurt your entire family.

I agree with this mostly. I don’t agree that my husband makes the decisions. That’s just not how my marriage works. There are things that I obviously make decisions on and things he obviously makes decisions on, but we ALWAYS talk these things through together before the one makes the decision.

how is respecting your wife's boundaries simping? You're supposed to be emotionally dependent on your wife because that's her job. And it's your job to her too. You sound delusional.

Sorry friend, but God’s design a husband has good and natural “needs” that cannot be resolved by other means. Is not “infantile” to need somebody, unless you’re tossed like the waves of the sea. The second part you said was true about making decisions.

Jesus' idea of leadership was washing people's feet. I don't see too many husbands willing to do that. Also, the man is supposed to love the wife like his own body. Not much of that going around either. Perhaps if the love and servant leadership came first, the wife's willingness to follow wouldn't be such an issue.

Honestly, that sounds like a very deeply personal revelation you just shared on your podcast. There have been several instances where your wife’s “illness“ has created issues in your marriage. Anyone who has been paying attention for the last few years can read between the lines that you have been denied the marital debt. And often. I’m sorry that was the case, I hope it has been resolved. But it was very obvious to any Catholic paying attention to you and your wife over the past couple years . Proper Leadership, even when it creates conflict in decisions does not stop the romance in the bedroom.
