If the conversation with the wife about matters of intimacy is secure from being overheard by others, then there is no harm. However, it is advisable not to indulge excessively, lest it lead to unlawful enjoyment. One should also not prolong absence from one's wife as much as possible. During absence, it is recommended to fast, guard one's hearing and sight, stay away from anything that arouses desire, and be keen on the company of the righteous, attending gatherings of knowledge and remembrance, and occupying one's time with beneficial deeds.
