Summary

In this episode of Sexy Marriage Radio, Pam and I discuss the concept of covert contracts in marriage, exploring how unspoken agreements can lead to frustration and resentment.

We discuss a listener's email about feeling unappreciated despite being a good spouse and the challenges of initiating intimacy without pressure. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of open communication, breaking the cycle of scorekeeping, and fostering genuine desire in relationships.

We talk more in-depth about the pressures inherent in marriage and how to handle the initiations and rejections with more integrity and solidness.
