Do the pressures of daily life and a woman's excessive emotionality explain the husband's decreased desire for intimacy? And does the hadith about angels cursing a woman who does not respond to her husband's call for intimacy confirm that men are initially less inclined to seek intimacy?

It is common for the husband to initiate intimacy, while the wife less often does so due to her modesty. Therefore, the husband should request intimacy, especially if it pleases his wife and contributes to a good marital relationship. The wife should not blame her husband if he does not initiate it, but the husband must fulfill his wife's needs for chastity according to his ability and her need. The cursing by angels of a woman who refuses her husband's call to bed is a stern warning to her, unless she has a valid excuse.
