I also think if we are talking about depriving being a fault of the marriage that we should discuss the reasons of why there might be depriving. Not fair to talk about one without the other.

I feel strongly that the scripture is - yes - warning of "depriving" and the consequences - temptation by Satan.
I agree that we do need to discuss reasons for "depriving" - porn for example.
Can we flippantly say, "It was his fault, it was his choice?" - IF we "deprived" him because of having issues with trusting him, etc. How far and deep does "depriving" go? Is it just a surface "depriving" of engaging in normal sexual intimacy or does the scripture reach further when the couple has more deep seated problems they are dealing with?
What scriptures work with this? How far do we go in each situation? When does
I Peter 3:1 and
I Cor 7:15 come into play?
Again, how far do we think that the admonition on "depriving" goes? I guess I'm just wondering how "humble" are we when the ball is on our side of the court?
