So then how about Dennis’s point in the article about mood when it comes to work. I don’t think us men should have to go to work when we are not in the mood. (from the article) Also note that no where in the article did Dennis say it obligated.

Here is from Part one

There are marriages with the opposite problem — a wife who is frustrated and hurt because her husband is rarely in the mood. But, as important and as destructive as that problem is, it has different causes and different solutions, and is therefore not addressed here. What is addressed is the far more common problem of “He wants, she doesn’t want.”

It is an axiom of contemporary marital life that if a wife is not in the mood, she need not have sex with her husband. Here are some arguments why a woman who loves her husband might want to rethink this axiom.

Here is Part II

“What if your husband woke up one day and announced that he was not in the mood to go to work? If this happened a few times a year, any wife would have sympathy for her hardworking husband. But what if this happened as often as many wives announce that they are not in the mood to have sex? Most women would gradually stop respecting and therefore eventually stop loving such a man.

What woman would love a man who was so governed by feelings and moods that he allowed them to determine whether he would do something as important as go to work? Why do we assume that it is terribly irresponsible for a man to refuse to go to work because he is not in the mood, but a woman can — indeed, ought to — refuse sex because she is not in the mood? Why?”

You should read both articles to understand that he is saying reasons why a woman should have sex with her husband even if she is not in the mood. He doesn’t say it is in obligation.

Oh, God, you’re not helping yourself. Men go to work and women put out? On what PLANET? Planet 1953?
