Question:
Is massaging my wife a sin if it leads to pleasure for her?
Answer:
No, provided that any pleasure gained is not a deliberate choice to forego the marital act, i.e., one in which sexual fulfillment culminates in masturbation, an action in which the two cannot possibly become one, in contrast to the marital act (see CCC 2351-52, 2360-65; Gen. 2:23-24; Matt. 19:1-12).
