Sex Fasting in Marriage?! 😳

Published about 2 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Have you ever been so focused on what your spouse doesn't do that you overlook what they are doing?

Tony has mentioned more than once that he'd love for me to reach over and touch his leg when we're driving.

But during a recent episode, I reminded him that there are plenty of other times when I initiate physical affection.

His reaction was pretty interesting, and it led to a conversation about what we sometimes overlook in marriage.

▶️ Watch this 5-minute clip to see how the conversation unfolded​

🤔 We're curious... Does your spouse notice when you reach out to touch them?

Love you guys,

Go Deeper with Your 6 Pillars

"Can intentionally taking a break from sex help your marriage?"

She wondered whether temporarily removing sex could help couples strengthen other pillars of intimacy, especially spiritual intimacy.

It’s a thoughtful question.

And our answer depends on what’s already happening in your marriage and why you’re considering a fast.

Hey Reader, How do you respond when you ask your spouse a meaningful question…and they don’t have an answer? That happened while we were recording an episode a few weeks ago, and we worked through it in real time.
