If a husband practices masturbation and watches pornographic films, these are committing reprehensible acts. This is even worse if he is married, because he turns away from lawful enjoyment with his wife to unlawful things. Intercourse is a right of the wife upon her husband. If he suffers from erectile dysfunction, he should seek treatment, and repentance from these acts may be a help to him. The wife must advise her husband in the best manner, pray for him, and remind him of her rights upon him. As for contention and abandonment, they contradict patience and may prevent the attainment of forgiveness.

It is important to be aware of the seriousness of sleeping through prayers and the necessity of taking measures to wake up for them.
