Note 6 at 1 Cor. 7:4: These are some amazing statements of Paul that do not set well with the thinking of most people today. It would be unthinkable to many people that their mates could have access to them sexually at any time. They would say, "What about my rights?" Paul is saying that when you marry, you yield your rights to your mate, even down to the most intimate details.

If people today would realize that this is the way it is in a godly marriage, they would take the selection of a mate much more seriously, and they would have fewer problems in their marriage.

Of course, this would have to be qualified that the Lord is speaking about normal sexual relationships. This is not saying that either partner has to yield to any type of perverted sexual acts.
