I would also like to take issue with your characterization that marital sex is something the wife “gives” to the husband. It should be a mutual sharing, not a “giving” or a “taking.” Sex is used as a weapon by women perhaps more frequently; men use other weapons, such as lack of cooperation, verbal abuse directed at a woman’s self-confidence, etc. Marriage is supposed to be a two-way thing in which, ideally, both people are under the leadership of God and strive to honor His creation. The gift of sex is given by Him to both partners.

Here is another good divorce statistic that should tell you how skewed it is against men. Men are 8-10x as likely to commit suicide in the year after divorce than women are.
