There is nothing more deflating for a high desire spouse than being rejected sexually by the one they love. It really sucks! Feeling like you are so un desirable that they can't take 15 minutes to connect together and make love? Or that your spouse would rather sit on their phone and waste time scrolling through meaningless things versus connecting intimately? Rejection often sounds like this: "I am not in the mood" "I am too tired" "I have a headache" "We just had sex ___ days ago!"   And there are also the non verbal rejections. Sometimes it isn't the things we say, but rather our actions and the things we do to avoid it. But is it just the rejection that really hurts, or is it "how" the rejection happens that is the gut punch? In this episode Nick and Amy talk about what healthy rejection looks like (because there is a healthy way to reject your spouse), and the damage that can be cause by rejecting your spouse in an unhealthy way.  We offer great insights and solutions to this very common problem. As this is a very common problem in marriages, this is an episode you will both want to listen to!

Many couples wonder why their sex life isn’t like what they expected, or what they see on tv, or in the movies, and they compare their marriage to things that are not realistic. Couples have myths about sex that keep them from having the “Ultimate Intimacy” in their marriage that they deserve to have. In this podcast episode Nick and Amy talk about the "truths" about sex and why you need to ignore the myths that keep you from having the sexual intimacy you desire. Some of these myths include: - You always have to be in the mood to have sex. What ever happened to foreplay? - Your spouse should always know what you want - Women take longer to get aroused - Sex is a "want" and not a "need" - Talking about sex will ruin the mood - Sex has to be spontaneous And so much more!

We always talk about emotional intimacy needing to be strong before sexual intimacy, but we also say that sometimes sexual intimacy needs to be prioritized too! Which one comes first? What does emotional intimacy coming first even mean? What does this balance even look like, and how do we find it in our marriages? So many couples struggle with this because a lot of husbands say that the emotional intimacy requirements from their wives are too high and they can never fulfill them, so sexual intimacy gets put on the back burner. But does emotional intimacy need to be super strong in order for a couple to make love? We asked our audience two questions: Husbands, are there too many prerequisites to sexual intimacy? Husbands and wives, what does emotional intimacy actually mean to you? In this episode, Nick and Amy dive into what strong emotional intimacy actually looks like when it comes to being a prerequisite, and the answers might shock you! If you are struggling with this balance in your marriage, this might be a great episode for you to listen to!

It’s human nature to want to be right. We all crave validation. However in relationships, striving to be right at all costs can lead to conflicts and strain in your marriage. We have all either been in, or have seen couples argue about the most small and ridiculous things. And instead of letting it go and moving on, the argument escalates and turns into something HUGE because one of the spouses has to be right. In this episode, we share experiences of our own, and discuss why it is more important to choose to be happy, than to be right. If you find yourself in this type of behavior, then this episode is for you!

We always talk about the importance of both emotional intimacy and sexual intimacy in a marriage. Both go hand in hand and are VITAL to a happy and successful marriage, and good sexual intimacy. However, they are both extremely different! One's needs can often be met and satisfied outside of the marriage, while other needs cannot. So how does this impact a relationship? For most women, they need the emotional connection with their husband before they are going to be interested in the sexual connection. And for most men, they need the sexual connection with their wife before they are going to want to emotionally connect and be vulnerable with her. *We recognize this is not ALWAYS the case as each relationship is unique. But for the majority of men and women, it is. Let's assume a wife is going to lunch, working out, or doing a bunch of activities throughout the day where they are talking with and connecting emotionally with others to the point that when they get home, their emotional bucket is all filled up. The desire or need to have more emotional intimacy from their husbands might not be there as their needs have been fulfilled and met throughout the day. A husband can only get his sexual needs met by his wife in the relationship. Could this be a reason why so many women aren't interested in connecting emotionally or sexually with their husbands? And why husbands have a hard time connecting emotionally with their wife? In this episode, Nick and Amy discuss this very interesting topic and point of view and share their thoughts on it. They also share the poll results from the poll questions they asked on social media to see what you thought.

In about 90% of marriages, there is a high-desire spouse and a low-desire spouse, meaning there are typically differences in libido or sexual desire in the relationship.

For most couples, during the early years of marriage things are passionate and sex seems to happen often. But as time passes on, sex in the relationship dwindles and couples stop having frequent sexual intimacy and the passion wears off. This is a very common theme for MANY couples. According to experts, couples that find themselves in this type of relationship have around an 80% of ending in divorce. So you have the relationships where couples just aren’t having sex due to one of (or both) the spouses loosing interest. The second scenario is where the lower desire spouse is not wanting to have sex, but does so occasionally out of feeling “duty” to do so. This is called “duty sex.” No one likes duty sex. Not the spouse giving in, or the spouse receiving. And the problem with duty sex is the spouse doing it is going to feel resentment towards the high desire spouse, and the high desire spouse is going to feel rejected and withdrawn by the lower desire spouse. Most relationships fall under these categories where there is little to no sex happening, or where there is “duty sex” happening in the relationship.  So how can marriages (or the low desire spouse) want to start making love again? In this episode, Nick and Amy share the ways couples can get out of the "duty sex" mind frame and start wanting to make love again!
