From the Bible
The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps 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. 1 Corinthians 7:3-5

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Sex Chat for Christian Wives. I'm Chris Taylor of Honeycomb and Spice. I'm Gay Christmas of Calm, Healthy, Sexy. |
| 0:09.1 | I'm Jay Parker of Hot Holy and Humorous. And I'm Bonnie Burns of Strong Wives. Come up your chair to our virtual kitchen table and let's chat. |
| 0:26.8 | Welcome back to another episode of sex chat for Christian wives. Today we're answering several questions from our listeners. We appreciate everyone who sends us a question via |
| 0:32.8 | our website for Christianwives.com and we regret that we can't answer all of them. But we do try to |
| 0:39.1 | record a listener questions episode about once a quarter and to respond to three or four |
| 0:44.4 | questions in each episode. Also, before we start, I want to mention that Bonnie isn't with us today, |
| 0:50.0 | but she will be back for our next episode. So let's go ahead and get started. Jay, what's the |
| 0:55.8 | question you chose? Yeah, the question I pulled out was this one about refusing sex. This woman |
| 1:02.8 | writes, thank you for covering the topic of refusing sex on the last Q&A and differentiating between |
| 1:08.5 | refusing a single encounter and depriving a sexual relationship. |
| 1:12.9 | I completely agree. I would appreciate some further discussion and guidance on what does |
| 1:18.5 | constitute depriving your partner and where reasonable lines can be drawn for both partners. |
| 1:24.4 | And I think it's good if I start out, though, by reading the scripture that this |
| 1:28.6 | comes from, that a lot of people reference. And it is 1 Corinthians 7, starting in verse 3. The husband |
| 1:36.0 | should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise, the wife to her husband. The wife |
| 1:40.9 | does not have authority over her own body, but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, |
| 1:45.1 | the husband does not have authority over his own body, but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other, |
| 1:50.1 | except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come |
| 1:56.2 | together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. I say that it's |
| 2:01.0 | as a concession, not as a command. And that is the NIV. This is the hardest question I ever get |
| 2:09.9 | from my readers and from our listeners because there's so many variables. And there's part of me |
| 2:15.6 | that wants to say, if a spouse feels deprived, then you're |
