More Than Just Male

“In order to be sexually responsive, a wife needs to respect, on a fundamental level, the comprehensive masculinity of her husband. He must be a man, and not just a male. If he is aroused in the bedroom, that arousal must not make her resentment boil over — ‘Why can he not be aroused to do anything else?’ . . . Simply put, if a man is not hard working, responsible, diligent, courageous, and protective, then he should not act like he is in the bedroom. If his mind is soft, then he has no right to be hard” (Fidelity, p. 136).
