Are you a good enough person to actually listen and act on it when you're partner tells you they're not in the mood for sex?
Never force anything.

A kiss, a cuddle and a back rub often puts you in the mood. I always believed I made vows to honor my husband's body so that means a responsibility to make him feel good even if not really in the mood in the beginning and I think "not in the mood" is a bit of an excuse. Just do it if you love your partner, chances are, you feel better for it yourself.

@Matt85 well he's passed away now but you don't make a marriage work by having that attitude. If I was really sick fine but otherwise that's what marriage vows are for. You got no business complaining if you don't take care of your partner and then he or she goes looking elsewhere. People forget physical touch and sex is a communication language that says I love you. Not giving them what you know they need is really selfish in my opinion and guaranteed to bring you an unhappy marriage.
