Women & Domesticity

Women Shouldn’t Be Insulted by Their Husbands’ Sexual Temptations

Women have a tendency to be insulted at their husbands’ temptations, and an insulted and offended wife is no protection at all.

In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 1 quote from 1995, from Reforming Marriage, cited to the source.

God has given the sexual relationship in marriage as a protection against immorality. It is important that this purpose be remembered, especially by wives. Women have a tendency to be insulted at their husbands’ temptations, and an insulted and offended wife is no protection at all.

— Douglas Wilson, Reforming Marriage, Canon Press, 1995, Chapter 3: “The Duties of Husbands and Wives”
