Have you or your spouse ever use the proverbial?

I don't think my husband has ever turned down the opportunity for marital relations, but if I am not in the mood, then I tell him so. We talk it, we cuddle, and eventually we reach some sort of compromise. More often than not, he gets what he wants because knows how to make me want it, too. I don't use excuses of any sort; honesty works for me.
