Your husband should never have to demand sex from you. It is fulfilling one anothers needs. It shows your love for your partner. It's not a Biblical POV of sex. It is how we were created.
I find myself agreeing with most of what you post on this topic. One thing I would point out is that if a marriage comes to a place where one spouse is 'demanding sex' the spouse of whom the demands are made should question whether he or she is depriving the other spouse. The 'demanding spouse' could be bossy or domineering. But if we are talking about one spouse shutting the other off and refusing them, then the offended spouse wants to have a serious conversation and insists on cranking up their sex life again, I don't think we should fault the deprived spouse over it. Such a conversation might seem unromantic, and probably not the kind of conversation any of us would want to have. But it might be appropriate in some marriages.
You learn to do things properly as a couple by communicating your needs. If you can't then you go for help. Demanding rights is not a phrase to be used in a Christian marriage. You belong to each other.
