The Word says that when two get married that his body no longer belongs to him - it belongs to her, and visa-versa - her body belongs to him. Do I have the right, because his body is mine, to ask him what he is doing with it? I know he can lie about it, but do I have the right to confront him with what he is doing with what the Word says is mine? or would this be nagging and controling?

Hi decide2love,
I don't see how asking a question is controlling. I suppose asking it with great frequency and/or with a certain tone could be nagging. You certainly have the prerogative to assess whether or not he is being faithful to your marriage vows, and whether or not you need to be tested for, and protect yourself from STD's.

As a husband I concur with TruthSeeker. To be intimate with my wife means having no secrets. I do not take it upon myself to burden her with every detail of my ongoing temptations, but any question she asks is fair and will be answered. Even though she hardly ever asks, the thought that she could ask is itself an incentive to maintain integrity. Why would I hide from her, when she is God's gift for my sanctification?
