1 Corinthians 7:4

MSG

NIV

4 Marriage is not a place to "stand up for your rights." Marriage is a decision to serve the other, whether in bed or out.
4 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.
