Not really sure if this is in the right category but if an administrator would, please direct me.
Anyway, my wife and I have been married a couple of years. Its been a decent marriage. We have our arguments at times but its nothing we can't pray our way through. But there is this one subject, sex, that we can't seem to move forward on. I turn here after months of prayer and talking to my wife to see what others think.
My understanding of marriage and sex is that we are two people, united to one flesh, with God at the center of it, and sex plays a big part of keeping our God given sexual desires at ease with one another (and God) instead of listening to what Satan and the world say about sex.
I feel like through our whole marriage I've been deprived severely. I'm not sure if this an actual problem or if I'm just making it one. What better way for Satan to sexually attack a Godly man, than to find one that's being deprived in his marriage. Even the bible says you shouldn't deprive each other and I feel like I'm stuck in a marriage I can't do anything about.
When we do actually have sex there's usually a deal made, to where she gets something from me in return. Housework, she gets to buy something, go somewhere, etc. It seems like she is never "in the mood" even when she does give in.
Any ideas on how I should approach this?
