Re: Marital Rape......
I think women have a responsibility to fulfill a man's needs as do men in Islam. Absolutely. Its hard to expect loyalty if you keep using sex against your partner.

What I think some are not understanding is..........nothing warrants brutality.

And what sex means to each of the sexes.
For a man, intimacy is sex. For a woman, its called making love.
Each have a right to be fulfilled the way they desire. If a man wants his wife to be act like a stripper in the bedroom, sure. And if she wants him to be Rhett Butler...he's gotta deliver.
Seeeeeeeeeempal.
There has not been anything said about brutality and hence I had no reason to respond.
But since you mentioned: Brutality is not acceptable by me in any sense against women and neither Islam agrees with that.
Your blue sentence is very much appreciated. And I think you have got some understanding of my position from earlier posts or agree with them. You can be a perfect wife, I guarantee it. . :)
No. Intimacy is not ALWAYS sex for men and just for your kind information, women even in marital situation do not ALWAYS look for love making.
Take a moment next time and ask some married women, they do not ALWAYS mind being treated like sex objects by their husbands. Trust me on this one.
That is why there is no set standard which is set by Islam.
There is a hadith where it is addressed to men to go to their wives as they be pleased. (Women are like your tilth, and go to your tilth as you wish).
But then there is admonition to any act which makes a man treat woman in disrespectful way.
Hence:
Much to the surprise of Anti-Muslims, and Anti- Islam posters ( one of them just posted on rights of homosexual just to be trolling again and again)......
I must say that **Islam brings the BEST combination of freedom and responsibilities to the people of world.
