Women are the weakness of men, it is thier nature, something they crave more strongly than a women to a man. The wife is for her husband and the husband for the wife. If the wife is always coming with the famous excuses such as I'm tired, I have a headache, etc.. the husband may eventually feel abandonded, and seek comfort somewhere else. A husband and wife are a protection for each other. Likewise, a husband is expected to gentle and caring to his wife, someone she knows she can go to to find emotional comfort, it is just that between the sexes we find our emotional comfort in a slightly different manner. It's a give and take for both. I hope that makes sense.
