"If husbands are expected to go to work and earn money and visit relatives they don't like, why can't wives put out on demand?"

Let's see:

"a husband is expected to work" - and this is saying that a wife's day isn't spent working. Many women work outside the home, many women work, i.e. take care of children and the home, many women work from their home, take care of the kid and homeschool too (I am in the latter group).

"visit relatives they don't like" - so the husband doesn't like the wife's relatives, but the wife always likes the husband's relatives? In my case the mother-in-law lives with us and I am the primary caregiver, since the husband is off at work (lucky him).

"wives put out on demand"-if you mean "provide a body" for the husband to have sex with, we'll then I have no issues. But if you mean that the wife shows up mentally, physically, and emotionally for an intimate encounter with her husband, then it's not going to happen on demand.

Luckily my husband prefers that all of me (mind, body, and emotions) shows up for sex, and therefore doesn't demand.

With kids, jobs, in-laws, etc. intimacy takes planning, but we have a long standing marriage and a genuine "like" of each other, as well as love with each other.

Your husband sounds like a fine man.

And you sound like a very fine woman as well.

Dawn - I was working full time, but left to homeschool a very ill child - my husband works far enough away that his commute is about 3 1/2 to 4 hours a day - I feel our time together is pretty much a reward for both of us for making it through another day - Best of luck to you too......

"a genuine "like" of each other, as well as love with each other."

That counts for a lot.

Forgive me, but may I ask about the frequency of intimacy in your marriage?
