What Are Your Thoughts and Desires for Sex in Your Marriage? YMM #27

Welcome to another show about SEX!  Last week’s show dealt with thoughts and attitudes stemming from the past; this week’s focus is on the future.  Yes, this is another difficult conversation to have, and it requires openness and transparency.  Learning to talk about sex with your spouse in a direct and positive manner is crucial for your relationship!

Here is the question:  What are your thoughts and desires for sex in your marriage, and what hesitations and reservations about sex do you have?

Consider the following in your discussion:

• Both partners have different backgrounds and experiences.  (We discussed this aspect on last week’s show.)
• Sex is an instinctual, biological act, but one that symbolizes love and commitment.
• Sex is good for your physical and emotional health.
• Learn to speak your partner’s language regarding sex.
• Having this discussion requires humility and an “I don’t know it all” attitude.
• Sex is a gift to be enjoyed in marriage.

“Women need to feel loved to have sex, and men need to have sex to feel loved.”

So, what can you expect to gain from this conversation?  You can expect open communication, great sex, and a deep emotional and physical relationship. Aren’t those things we all desire within our marriages?  Join us for the conversation!
