1 Corinthians 7:5

³ The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.

⁴ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.

Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control.

⁶ I say this as a concession, not as a command.

⁷ I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
