What is God's view about anal sex between a Husband and his Wife?  Is this wrong?
And What specific scriptures back this up?

I don't think He specifically says anything about it except to condemn sex between two men. I know Joe has researched this so I'll wait on his answer.

There is no scripture that deals with this question directly. Sometimes people conclude that anything two homosexuals would do sexually is wrong, but that argument makes no sense. Homosexual couples hold hands, kiss, hug, cuddle, and the like.

My opposition to anal sex is from a passage that doesn't speak of sex per se. It's 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 about our bodies being the temple of the Spirit and our honoring him via our body. I am among those that believe that we are to care for our bodies because they belong to God. There is ample evidence of physical damage done to the body via anal sex. An article that includes drawings for illustrations at  http://www.soc.ucsb.edu/sexinfo/question/what-are-the-dangers-of-anal-sex does a good job in providing some of the basic concerns.

According to the article linked to, if a condom is used with enough lube/ease of entry and the person doesn't have HIV it's perfectly safe. This is a pretty gray issue I think.

Romans 1:26-27: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence [sic] of their error which was meet."

Chefsean, that passage says that men having sex with men is bad. Says nothing about anal sex between a man and woman.

I have heard more than a few sermons about this very subject based on this scripture and more specifically:

"for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature"

When you see what the men were doing and how it's described as unseemly and vile affections and the women are turning their natural use into that which is against nature, it was put pretty clear to me what was going on and that it was wrong.

Anyway, that's why I posted it.

Chefsean,

Cool, I understand what you're saying, but don't think the interpretation is crystal clear. I've heard several theories on what it meant for women to give up what was natural. I've heard that they started acting masculine, became lesbians while forsaking men, had anal sex and that they only masturbated rather than have intercourse.

I can easily dismiss a few of those and your interpretation sounds as good as any. I wonder though, if it was referring to women having anal sex at all or completely giving up vaginal intercourse in favor of anal intercourse only. The word "change" seems to imply that whatever they did, it was a complete lifestyle change rather than something done every now and then.

Either way, as Joe's link pointed out, there are cleanliness/bacterial issues associated with anal sex and that should be a consideration in a couple's decision.

It hurts, and it's humiliating, and hurting and humiliating your wife is against God's rules.
