Summary
In this Best of SMR episode we discuss common mistakes that married couples make when it comes to initiating sex.
There are dynamics of higher desire and lower desire and patterns that make these mistakes so easy to make.
We cover six common mistakes: getting annoyed at being the one who initiates, using covert or roundabout methods of initiation, joking or crude initiations, feeling the need to be as turned on as your partner, using the same initiation method every time, and talking yourself out of initiating.
Enjoy the show!
On the Xtended version …
What make authenticity and vulnerability in marriage so difficult?
Is it the motivations behind the vulnerability? The reactions to vulnerable moments? Both?
Let's explore more.
