Question
The law of the mitzvah of conjugal duty twice a week depends on the wife's desire. If it is not urgent for her but only occasionally, is it necessary to strive for this, or is it an obligation, and one must ensure that she desires it twice a week?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
This is a definition in the obligation of the mitzvah of conjugal duty, that nowadays we are like workers. And the husband must ensure to fulfill his obligation.
