Next Episode: 36: Why Doesn't My Wife Want To Have Sex With Me?

In this episode, Matt and Jenn discuss the differences in how we access and express sexual desire. How do we handle it when one spouse seemingly wants sex more than the other?

In general, a man’s sexual desire is like a microwave (spontaneous) and a woman’s sexual desire is like a crockpot (responsive). Neither is right or wrong and neither is better or worse.Empathize with your spouse’s position by offering grace, mercy, and understanding. Learn to embrace your own desire with contentment and enthusiasm.Each of you has a role to play in building and maintaining a solid relationship and circumstances where eroticism and sexual passion can flourish.
