Summary
Cristie craved physical intimacy with her husband, but the more she talked about it, the less she got. She tried everything she could think of: scheduling doctor visits, suggesting sex therapy, looking up solutions from marriage experts—nothing worked. She didn't feel desirable anymore.
Then her husband said he wanted to leave so she could find someone who could make her happy, because he wasn't able to.
Cristie was shocked. But then she stumbled on something that changed everything. She learned to relinquish control and find her own power. The transformation was almost immediate.
Today, Cristie feels desired again. Their intimacy—both inside the bedroom and out—is playful and easy. Her husband makes her laugh when she's tense. He plans getaways for just the two of them. He surprises her with luxury gifts that make her feel adored. Their marriage is full of warmth and constant laughter.
If you're craving physical intimacy and it's pushing him away further, Cristie's story shows exactly what to do instead.
