My (34M) wife (33F) sometimes reacts badly toward me initiating sex. She says it takes up too much of her time and she rather be productive.

Write your wife an entire essay detailing the benefits of having sex. There are plenty of studies showing how productive fornicating is.

Studies show having sex multiple times a week makes you look 10 years younger. Also, women who have unprotected sex and partners ejaculate in them are less likely to be depressed, be more motivated, and live better lives.

Sex burns calories as well. Next time your wife says she'd rather be productive, detail in your essay that she has to actually be more productive. On average humans burn around 100 calories when they have sex. Here is a list of 4 activities that burn 100 calories in 5 minutes:

Jumping Jacks – 40 of them. Sit-Ups – 30. Squats – 20. Push-Ups – 10.

If she actually does any of these things right after, she can win the argument. Otherwise she's being unreasonable and deflecting the situation out of stupidity. Hope this helps.
