That stat always cracks me up. How can a husband rape his wife? Her body is not her own, but her husband’s also.

Rape is, by definition, non-consensual. But she gave consent when she made her vows. And it should be mutual.

I speak as a man who’s wife refused sex for 14 months before she divorced me. In counseling she accused me of sexual abuse (a preposterous claim but not germane here) and the counselor said, “you know, withholding sex is also a form of sexual abuse.”

She refused to go any more.

Meanwhile, my second wife and I just celebrated our 16th anniversary and the honeymoon never ended. It became a new life of marital bliss that I honestly thought was only real in chick films and fiction.

Consent today, regret tomorrow.
