The turn-on no one talks about


Hey Reader,

With Easter right around the corner, our Christian faith has been front and center for us lately.

There have been seasons in our marriage when we've been really consistent in our spiritual intimacy. And there have been other seasons when it just hasn't happened the way we wanted it to.

Go Deeper with Your 6 Pillars

Let me tell you about Luis and Jenna.

It’s a Friday night at 9:15. The kids are finally asleep. There’s still some evening left — a rarity. Luis has been working nonstop and just wants to vegetate in front of his favorite video game. Jenna’s been thinking about sex off and on all day.

Their old loop would start right here. Jenna would try a few long touches and some hints about what she was hoping for. Luis, oblivious, would head to the den, put on his headphones, and start gaming. She’d go to bed and watch a show. Both would wake up cold in the morning. And neither would say a word about it.

But Jenna was growing tired of that cycle.

So she did something different. As soon as she saw him heading for the den, she took a deep breath, steadied herself, walked in front of him, placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, and said in an ordinary voice: “I’m wanting slow, lazy sex tonight. Yes, no, or later are all okay.”

Luis met her eyes. “I’m a no tonight.” He paused. “I am up for a bath together now and full sex Sunday morning.”

Jenna nodded. “Thanks for the clarity. Bath sounds great — pencil Sunday.”

I know. That sounds about as erotic as a calendar invite. But here’s what you need to understand: their Sunday was incredible. And it was incredible because of what happened Friday night.

Two people told the truth. Nobody pouted. Nobody performed. Nobody made the other person responsible for their feelings. And that created a kind of safety — not the boring kind, but the kind where desire actually has room to land.

That exchange didn’t happen because Luis and Jenna learned a new technique. It happened because they’d both been building something far more powerful.

Emotional maturity.

Hey Reader, In your marriage, has touch started to become equated with sex? There's a reason we intentionally separated physical intimacy and sexual intimacy in The 6 Pillars of Intimacy®.
