Sex is the only case where this could be mistaken for a sound argument. That’s due to the weird sexual ethics of our time designed to legitimize behavior that used to be condemned and condemning perfectly fine behavior. But let’s make it a little more obvious and replace sex with another act of physical intimacy, say a back rub (one could call this non-sexual touching). I’ve never wanted to give my wife a back rub. I don’t particularly enjoy doing it. But she’s my wife, I know it makes her happy and that matters quite a lot to me her husband, so I’ve given her hundreds? Thousands?
There are dozens of such acts both she and I do for one another in the name of our marriage. Acts where we are neutral or would simply rather not but because of love and our holy vow to one another means we perform them without complaint nor resentment. Acts of love that transcend other emotions.
If one were to take her advice literally, that a wife or husband should never do something they don’t feel like for their spouse, they would find a quick end to their marriage. Again you probably shouldn’t take marriage advice from a divorcee.
