457 - Why Doesn't She Want Sex: The Basics

We know that intimacy is an integral part of married life.  But what happens when that intimacy… isn't happening?  You've tried to explain, you've tried to give your point of view, you've even tried to give pointers, and still… nothing. What can you do?   At Delight Your Marriage, we have developed a framework for what men and women need in order to feel loved and thrive in their marriages and, in turn, move towards intimacy. When these things are missing from a marriage, it can often cause bitterness, resentment, and can lead to months, even years, of lack of intimacy, physical or otherwise. Here is what we have determined the framework to be: What Women Need: To be safe To be known To be whole-heartedly cherished What Men Need: To be respected To be admired To have whole-heartedly sexual intimacy When these key elements are missing- everything else crumbles. If you are reading (or listening) and wondering why your spouse has not initiated intimacy or why they shut down initiations - look back to this list. Are you giving this to your spouse? We hope today's episode will bless you as we shed some light on this topic, expand on the 'why' behind these needs, and give practical ways on how to implement this framework - not only for the goal of physical intimacy, but for the goal of having a thriving and beautiful marriage. We are rooting for you!   God bless,   Belah & Team   PS - To check out the Marital Health Assessment mentioned in this episode, visit https://delightyourmarriage.com/mhac/ PPS - If you are wanting to grow in your marriage and learn exactly how to implement this framework (and get support while you do it!), we would love to talk to you. https://delightyourmarriage.com/cc
