Actually, couples must refrain from sex (and with the very Orthodox, they can't even share a bed or even touch each other) for TWO weeks every month, not just when she is menstruating. It is seven days from the beginning of the menstruation, and then another seven days--and then the woman must first go to the ritual bathing (mikveh) before they can touch each other/have sex again. And isn't it interesting--the end of the two-week sex drought arrives exactly when a woman is ovulating.
