Can You Initiate Marital Sex Selflessly?

Question:

How is a husband to initiate lovemaking with his wife while remaining selfless?

Answer:

There is no line in the sand; it’s more a matter of emphasis. Sexuality is not sinful, it is part of marital love.

The most pertinent questions to ask are:

Are someone’s sexual thoughts the result of an expression of love for one’s spouse? Or do the thoughts merely reduce one’s spouse to an object of pleasure?
