Marriage can be a wonderful union if three key components are in place to have a solid foundation:
1) Healthy intimacy and Sexual Relationship
2) Positive friendship and companionship
3) Mutual Committment
I got that from a Jewish Rabii awhile back, and I agree with it. Of course there are other things that are important, but perhaps those are the most important. You decide.
Hey, all us guys say and do insensitive things in a marriage. Nobody's perfect. It really all boils down to what you want with her. Do you want a committed healthy relationship with her? Do you love her? If you answer affirmative, then you need to go into some major damage control right now buddy.
You hurt her feelings when you responded "yes" to her question. She probably is insecure about her body, her image, her beauty, and her self worth now. As a husband, you have got to be her best friend. You must tell her everyday that she is the most beautiful woman in the world - to you. I'm always telling my wife things like that because ITS TRUE AND SHE NEEDS TO HEAR IT FROM ME. Your wife needs to hear that everyday from you. Sex ain't everything. If you have a good woman who puts up with your sorry ass - well you got something there. My wife puts up with me and all my short comings. Let me give you a few examples of what I say to her, routinely, "I love that skirt on you, it really makes you look skinny", "wow, you look so smoking hot right now, OMG", "I love the way that sweater fits you, I mean Wow" or "How do you keep your legs and but looking so firm and sexy honey, are you exercising?" Recently I went to a wedding for a coworker. My wife simply radiated beauty. She was glowing. She had on a sexy black dress on, her makeup was perfect, hair was beautiful, nails were done..and I complimented her incessantly. On the ride home, I told her sincerely that I thought she was the most beautiful woman at the wedding.
Dude. Take it from me. I've been at this a long time. What you're doing is not working. You gotta do better. You can either be right or you can be happy.
4 things you need to do immediately for damage control:
1) Flowers and a sincere apology
2) Stop letting her now your are looking at porn. Focus on her.
3) Start complimenting her sincerely, everyday, and forever
4) If this doesn't improve, see a sex counselor
