The title is certain to get people riled up, and then a Bible verse is dropped without any context. That's what makes me wonder if this thread is designed to rile people up and draw attention.
If the OP was serious, it should've been a proper sermon and focus on self centeredness because that's the only sin that can occur in that area.
And it can come from EITHER the spouse that is ignoring the other to the point of making them suffer and feel undesirable, or the spouse that is demanding and burdening the other.
People can be very mismatched in their needs and if you lived chastely until marriage, you won't know if that's the case until you marry.
I wonder why is there a continual accent on only one kind of self centeredness (neglect) but the other (excessive demand) is never highlighted?
There are also realities of depression and various medications and illnesses, that can seriously affect the biology of the person in that area. What wasn't excessive once might become too much, to the person whose hormones aren't working correctly.
The spouse that feels ignored is here goaded to turn against their husband or wife and be offended, instead of first examining if maybe there's a physiological or hormonal cause, and discuss openly with their spouse how to approach and remedy the situation, instead of accusing or otherwise allowing it to undermine their relationship.
