Dennis Prager is a renaissance man. A Muslim-hater who thinks that equality is a “European” value, that English speaking countries “fight evil” more than other countries, and who believes that AIDS is only a “pseudo-threat” to heterosexuals also believes that whether or not a wife wants to have sex with her husband bears little on whether she should anyway:

It is an axiom of contemporary marital life that if a wife is not in the mood, she need not have sex with her husband. Here are some arguments why a woman who loves her husband might want to rethink this axiom. 

[…] 

Every rational and decent man knows there are times when he should not initiate sex. In a marriage of good communication, a man would either know when those times are or his wife would tell him (and she needs to — women should not expect men to read their minds. He is her man, not her mother.) 

But, to repeat the key point, rejection of sex should happen infrequently. And it should almost never be dependent on mood…

As Megan Carpentier points out, the man handing out marital advice a clause or two away from advocating the commission of a felony against your partner is twice-divorced.

Remember, Bush recommended this guy to be on U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, the governing board of the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The freaking Holocaust Museum!
