Love makes requests, not demands. When I demand things from my spouse, I become a parent, and she becomes the child. It is the parent who tells the three-year-old what he ought to do and what he must do. That is necessary because the three-year-old does not yet know how to navigate life's treacherous waters. In marriage, however, we are equal adult partners. We are not perfect, to be sure, but we are adults and partners. We need to know each other's desires to develop an intimate relationship. If we wish to love each other, we need to know what the other person wants.
The way we express those desires, however, is all-important. If they come across as demands, we have erased the possibility of intimacy and will drive our spouse away. If we make our needs and desires known in the form of a request, we are giving guidance, not ultimatums. 

When you make a request of your spouse, you affirm their worth and abilities. You are essentially indicating that they have something or can do something meaningful and worthwhile to you. When you make demands, you become a tyrant, not a lover. Your spouse will feel not affirmed but belittled. A request introduces the element of choice. Your spouse may choose to respond to your request or deny it because love is always a choice. That's what makes it meaningful. Knowing that my spouse loves me enough to respond to one of my requests communicates that they care about me, respects me, admires me, and wants to do something to please me. We cannot get emotional love by way of demand. My spouse may, in fact, comply with my demands, but it is not an expression of love. It is an act of fear, guilt, or some other emotion, but not love. Thus, a request creates the possibility for an expression of love, whereas a demand suffocates that possibility.
