I think one of the false expectations is the men think it’s there for the taking in exchange for a ring. I heard Sister on EWTN say “Did you trade your body for a wedding ring?”

Yes you did.

4 The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command. -- 7 Corinthians 4

It is the duty of each spouse to make a best effort to do things for the happiness and well-being of the other. That is an operational definition of "love". If you have no interest in trying to make your spouse happy, then the marriage is dead.

ewwwwwwwwwww

What you are talking about is sex for sex, which somehow makes the guy feel “happy”, whether or not it makes the wife feel “happy”. So, he gets what he wants, what about her?

It’s about building a family, not at anyone’s expense, but to the benefit of the members.

Do you really want sex if your wife doesn’t? Do you really want to have her tolerate your advances? Wouldn’t you rather have your wife indicate when she would welcome your advances? Or does your wife’s true consent not matter? Do you think because you married her she consented to be available 24/7 for sex? Because if that is what you thought, I bet you a million to one that is not what she thought.
