A marriage about good communication, appreciation and respect. You give those things to your partner, you get love and you have great sex together. Those things don't just come out of the blue. It takes years to cultivate them and a good marriage, like anything in life, must be nurtured and worked at to be a success. Sex has its place in a marriage but it alone will not make a marriage thrive unless attention is paid to the non-sexual parts of a marriage as well. In this day and age the first thing people should give priority to is to the people they love.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

When your wife rejects you, you take it very personally and no amount of pompous twaddle offsets that effect.
