(Usually through small poison repeated daily.)
He does not always need a scandal.
He only needs a whisper.
“Not now.
Tell him you’re tired.”
One night.
Then another.
Then a pattern.
The marriage bed grows cold.
Affection is withheld.
The enemy finds an open door.
God’s Word is not silent:
“The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband… Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”
— 1 Corinthians 7:3, 5
Intimacy in marriage is not a bargaining chip.
It is a covenant gift and a protection.
Do not let “I’m tired” become the daily poison that starves your union.
Guard the bed.
Guard the bond.
Give the enemy no foothold.
