Mature past the selfish motivations of relationship and begin to see the true fulfillment of covenant love built on self-sacrifice — in your marriage and in your relationship to God. Instead of asking "What do I want FROM my marriage?", change your perspective with a new question: “What do I want FOR my marriage?” Consider what more you can offer toward your covenant? Begin the assessment of your relationship with humility and self-reflection. Then, have a conversation with your spouse to determine what you can do for them and for your marriage.

Send us a text In this episode, Matt & Jenn discuss the complaint, "My spouse never initiates sex." So, whose job is it, anyway? How can I get my spouse to initiate more often? Whether it’s sexual connection or any other aspect of your relationship, if you sense a lack of it in your relationship, it’s up to you to initiate what is missing. If you feel like you are the only one initiating, keep striving. But, recognize — with gratitude — that your spouse may be contributing a whole lot more to your sexual and emotional relationship than what you immediately recognize. Responders, you can learn to initiate in ways that are comfortable for you and this effort will speak volumes of love to your pursuer. Also, check out our eCourses, available on our website: www.intimatecovenant.com/courses What Does Sex Mean To My Spouse? If you’ve been married for more than 5 minutes, you recognize that you and your spouse see sex differently. Our intention with this eCourse is to challenge you to think about your sexual relationship in ways that you might not have ever considered before. We want to facilitate deep introspection and fruitful conversations between you and your spouse to help you build intimacy and oneness. Make Better Connections We all suffer occasions when our attempts to connect are ignored or rejected. This course will help you make better connections in your marriage — emotionally and sexually.

37:25 Lire Plus Tard Lire Plus Tard Des listes J'aime Aimé37:25
Lire Plus Tard Lire Plus Tard Des listes J'aime AiméSend us a text In this episode, Matt & Jenn compare the sexual relationship to a hurricane. Sex, like a hurricane, is a powerful, God-given force. While we can’t direct the path of a hurricane, quiet the gale-force winds, or suppress the rising waters, we do have control over the effects of sex in our own marriages. The forces of a hurricane are mostly destructive. But the power of sexual desire can be channeled to constructive, passionate and intimate relationship. The damage of hurricane-driven wind and water is unavoidable, but the damage of poorly planned sex is entirely preventable. When confronted by unexpected storms in your sex-life, use these challenges to further demonstrate your creativity and self-sacrificial love.

Sexual pursuers may stop for many reasons and it’s often more complicated that just hormones.

Lire Plus Tard Lire Plus Tard Des listes J'aime AiméSend us a text In this episode, Matt and Jenn discuss the resurging popularity of sleeping in separate bedrooms. We'll consider the reasons why a couple might choose this option and whether it might be wise for your marriage. In addition, we'll discuss some of the consequences of spouses who have separate bedtimes. Every step we take away from our spouses, especially physically, has inevitable negative long-term consequences for the relationship. The decision to sleep apart should be weighed carefully and be constantly reevaluated. As much as is within your power, eliminate the barriers to sleeping together so that you can get be in bed with each other as often as possible. Likewise, separate bedtimes also promote emotional and physical drift away from each other, allowing opportunity for selfishness and betrayal.

Changing your circumstances will not change your marriage. To improve your marriage, you have to lean into the conflict and learn to better serve your spouse.

Registration for the Intimate Covenant Annual Marriage Retreat opens on Valentine's Day! www.intimatecovenant.com/retreat Plan to join us for the 7th annual Marriage Retreat in Houston, TX — September 19-21. Registration opens on Valentine’s Day. A shift in the roles of pursuers and responders is common in all relationships. Sometimes these role changes signal something detrimental to the relationship. Often they simply represent typical patterns of growth or seasonal shifts in the relationship. In a healthy relationship, labeling who is the pursuer and who is the responder is far less important than making sure that there is frequent and healthy pursuit and response in all realms of intimacy.

Struggles with sex in a marriage must not be ignored. Intervention and difficult conversations can save YEARS of suffering and shame; even save the marriage itself. The fundamental criteria for a wife to want more sex or different sex, is that the wife must have the expectation of sex worth having. The conflict of sexual frequency and/or sexual variety requires an ongoing conversation and a commitment from each to have as much connecting sex as necessary to promote oneness in the relationship.

Lire Plus Tard Lire Plus Tard Des listes J'aime AiméSend us a text In this episode, Matt & Jenn answer three listener questions about passionless sex: "How can I stop thinking of sex as an obligation when it's physically painful? While we wait for physical healing, how can I enjoy this part of our marriage?” “How do you navigate pleasing your spouse when you have no sexual desire and prefer not being touched at all?” “How can I enjoy a particular sex act that I get a lot of pleasure from but they do not, but they are willing to do it because they love me.” In summary, Refuse to let sex become passionless and simply a place of obligation — for yourself or your spouse. To help improve your own desire and passion, start by trying to focus on one simple thing that can anticipate and enjoy each time you make love. Don’t settle for passionless sex with your spouse. Seek to compassionately understand your spouse’s challenges and seek only sex that is connecting and mutually pleasurable. Relevant previous episodes: Episode 76 - Does My Spouse Owe Me Sex?

Send us a text In this episode, Matt & Jenn discuss how to handle the inevitable emotional and sexual rejections in your marriage relationship. Rejection almost always occurs due to multiple factors that have to do with how you are presenting the bid and with your spouse’s circumstances. Angry outbursts or pouting will not get you what you want - rather, these kinds of reactions prove that you are unsafe, self-centered, and undesirable. Instead, consider the perfect pursuer, Jesus. Even he gets rejected a majority of times. Follow his example and pursue relentlessly and selflessly.

Specifically, how can a husband help his wife orgasm? How can a wife learn to orgasm in different ways? And how important is a wife’s orgasm, anyway? Take-Aways: Husbands often place far too much emphasis on their wives orgasm and miss the far more important goal of seeking connection during sex. If a wife seeks to improve her ability to orgasm, a better understanding of her barriers is required. Seek to understand any possible places of sexual shame.

There is no “virginity test.” The presence, absence, or any other physical appearance of a hymen is not a reliable indicator of a woman’s previous sexual activity. The same is true for vaginal bleeding or pain with initial sexual experience. Every women has a different experience. “Virginity” does not determine someone’s worth as a person or as a future spouse. While the ideal is that a person refrain from premarital sex, a person’s current sexual attitudes and behaviors are far more important than their past.

1 Will It Fit? - concerns about sexual pain, especially with first-time intercourse 42:49

Lire Plus Tard Lire Plus Tard Des listes J'aime AiméSend us a text In this episode, Matt & Jenn respond to an email from a bride-to-be regarding her concerns about first-time sexual intercourse. We also address concerns about sexual pain relevant to all married couples. Pain with intercourse is not a rare circumstance and may occur for many reasons. The good news is that there are solutions for nearly every cause. Some discomfort may occur for a new wife as her body becomes accustomed to the process of sexual intercourse. The keys to reducing or preventing sexual pain are lubrication and to go slow enough to achieve maximum arousal. If you experience pain during sex, stop immediately. Talk to your spouse about it and seek help from a health care provider. Sponsored by: Open Door Financial Advisors www.opendoorfa.com Where finances meet faith and family.

1 Premarital Pornography Use [143] 51:45

Lire Plus Tard Lire Plus Tard Des listes J'aime AiméSend us a text In this episode, Matt & Jenn discuss the negative impacts of pornography use -- even if it occurred before you were married. We also address the unmarried about how to deal with the challenges of finding out that your potential spouse has a porn problem. Pornography is a negative influence in society and may manifest terrible consequences even if a spouse used pornography before they were married. Prior to getting married, this issue must be addressed in conversation and counseling. Don’t get married unless you are assured that your future spouse has dealt with past bondage to pornography. Those of us with influence in the lives of singles, need to be a resource to help prepare them to avoid the dangers of pornography and be a resource to help young people deal with the potentially devastating consequences on their future marriages. Previous episodes about the problems of pornography: #113 - Q&A from 2022 #91 - Sex and spirituality #62 - 2021 Retreat Q&A #49 & #51 - Betrayed and Betrayer’s roles in healing #11 - Dealing with Pornography in your marriage The Intimate Covenant Podcast is sponsored by: Open Door Financial Advisors www.opendoorfa.com Where finances meet faith and family.
