Explain the structure and language of "To My Dear and Loving Husband" and "A Letter to Her Husband" and how the lyrical language allowed the poet to describe their sexuality in a way that was never discussed in their culture.

The poem is made to show some type of great chemistry in their conjugal relationship.

This poem took place in 1641-1643, which was not appropriate to be discussing your relationship in such a manner at that time. You had to be discreet.
