What command???
First off the second most important command of all:
1.) Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Super important command in God's eyes.
Your super close neighbor is your spouse. If you can't love your spouse then who.
2.) Ephesians 5:21-24
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
3.)
1 Corinthians 7:3-6 is very clear and to the point. This greatly supports Ephesians 5:21-24 . Yes Paul said this is NOT a command from God but it is very wise teaching Paul clearly point out how important this is in real life. If you do not do this you can open the door to Satanic activity.
1 Corinthians 7:3-6
3 The husband should fulfill his wife’s sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband’s needs.
4 The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife.
5 Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan won’t be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.
4.) Exodus 21:10-11 Moses Law
10 If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.
11 If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money.
This clearly shows that , first sexual needs are real and very important needs. These verses points out that a first wife needs to get her SEXUAL NEEDS meant or she is free to leave without having to pay any money at all.
5.) Polygamy. God clearly promotes and at times force polygamy. Numbers 31 Genesis 38:8
When a wives rebels and refuses to meet the man's sexual needs, the man get another wife to meet his sexual needs. As in Exodus 21:10-11 .
Church has false teaching on polygamy.
They copy the pagan Romans marriage dictates (Not Godly polygamy) which commanded both Hebrews and Christians under Pagan Romans Rule, to only have one wife because they feared they would over multiply and over reproduce and over power the pagan Roman Empire. Always, when Hebrews Ruled over Hebrews, they always had Godly polygamy.
God and the Bible always promoted polygamy. Church does not, they do the opposite.
False "tradition of men" teachings of the Church. God greatly condemned the Hebrew for their "tradition of men" teaching. But even God/man, Jesus , could not get them to give up their false, "tradition of men" teachings.
Religion leaders get caught up in their false "tradition of men" teaching and everyone goes along with the false teaching. Why? Fear they lose their job and be fired, So the lies keep being taught. Similar to Catholic Church that burn people at the stake that disagree with the Church. Martin Luther was not killed because the German Gov't protected him.
Some have , a Christian Pastor of 38 years being a pastor, wrote the Book, "Divine Sex" free copy is on my web site for all to have and read. See the other side of the story. Judge for yourself.
From page 155 of the Book "Divine Sex"
Don’t go to your preacher and ask him if this statement is true. Preachers are honest but blind about some things just like the rest of us.
In sexual matters especially, religious leaders have much to gain by NOT questioning the status quo and many will NOT even seriously consider any alternate viewpoint on any sexual matter.
They have been trained by their mentors, pressured by their peers, and threatened by their financial insecurity to give nothing but the “majority report” on sexual issues.
So if you want to be confident that you are getting close to
objective Bible truth, look for yourself.
You will be amazed, even flabbergasted at what you find
when you look for yourself, with eyes that want to see what is in the Bible.
You may even be angry at what has been kept from you by those who were responsible to tell you “just the truth ma’am,” but who, for many reasons, could not even find the truth for themselves.

James 2:12 - So whenever you speak, or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law of love, the law that set you free.
