Writing on TownHall.com in December of 2008, Prager compares a man's obligation to go to work, regardless of his "mood," to a woman's obligation to have sex with her husband.
"Why would a loving, wise woman allow mood to determine whether or not she will give her husband one of the most important expressions of love she can show him? What else in life, of such significance, do we allow to be governed by mood?" he writes.
"What if your husband woke up one day and announced that he was not in the mood to go to work?"
He goes on to compare a wife's commitment to meeting the needs of their children or parents or friends even when not in the mood to having sex with her husband, asking that, because the woman is doing what's "right in those cases, rather than what their mood dictates," "Why not apply this attitude to sex with one's husband?"
