The law says(and again none of us have seen the exact wording) that a wife must consent to the sexual demands of her husband. It doesn't say(at least we don't know it does) that a husband has the right to force himself upon his wife if she breaks this law. It might simply mean her husband would have grounds for a divorce if she didn't fulfill his request.
In the Bible Christian couples are exhorted to not deny one another except in the case of mutual consent and even then only for a short period of time so they can devote themselves to God fully. In short: There is no such thing as a Christian headache. But that commandment doesn't convey the right to rape your spouse if he/she doesn't comply. It doesn't even provide grounds for divorce.
