Journal entry

My Husband is like a caged beast, prowling the corridors in search of diversion. He’s not accustomed to a life of Piety and Humility. He longs for gaiety and the lewd discourse of his friends. I would happily introduce him to the joy that is unwavering Faith, but he’s too frivolous a man to find solace in prayer and quiet contemplation.

I submit to him as a wife must, but the marital act is intended for procreation, so that we may bring into the world faithful Christians who will revel in the glory that is God. I will not deny him access to my body; as a woman I have no such right, but I will not permit him to gain pleasure from our coupling. I will not compromise my soul and my place at the Heavenly Table so that he can satisfy his Lust.
