Eruvin literally, (“mixtures” referring to the symbolic combination of separate domains) is the second tractate in Seder Moed (Order of Festivals) and consists of ten chapters.

Mishneh Torah (Repetition of the Torah)
is a code of Halakha authored by Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon/Rambam). The Mishneh Torah was compiled between 1170 and 1180 CE. Maimonides intended to provide a complete summery of the Oral Law so that a person who mastered first the Written Torah and then the Mishneh Torah would be in no need of any other book. The Mishneh Torah was in "plain language" to make the rules accessible. Contemporary reaction was mixed, with a strong and immediate opposition which focused on the absence of sources and the belief that the work appeared to be intended to supersede study of the Talmud.
(ד) [...] וְלֹא יִהְיוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם לֹא שִׁכּוֹרִים וְלֹא עַצְלָנִים וְלֹא עַצְבָּנִים, וְלֹא אֶחָד מֵהֶן. וְלֹא תִּהְיֶה יְשֵׁנָה. וְלֹא יֶאֱנֹס אוֹתָהּ וְהִיא אֵינָהּ רוֹצָה אֶלָּא בִּרְצוֹן שְׁנֵיהֶם וּבְשִׂמְחָתָם. יְסַפֵּר וְיִשְׂחַק מְעַט עִמָּהּ כְּדֵי שֶׁתִּתְיַשֵּׁב נַפְשָׁהּ וְיִבְעל בְּבוּשָׁה וְלֹא בְּעַזּוּת וְיִפְרשׁ מִיָּד:

Shulkhan Arukh
The legal code known as the Shulkhan Arukh, compiled by the great Sephardic Rabbi Joseph Caro in the mid 1500. It is still the standard legal code of Judaism. When rabbis, particularly if they are Orthodox, are asked to rule on a question of Jewish law, the first volume they consult generally is the Shulkhan Arukh. The Shulkhan Arukh is divided into four volumes.
(ח) לא יבא על אשתו והיא שנואה לו בשעת תשמיש וכן אם גמר בלבו לגרשה אע"פ שאינה שנואה לו לא יבא עליה:
(8) A man should not have intercourse with his wife if he hates her during the intercourse. Similarly, if he has resolved to divorce her, even though he does not hate her, he should not have intercourse with her.
