Hey, we're Anna Jennifer Smith with Marriage After God helping you cultivate an extraordinary marriage

And today we're gonna talk about our need for romance both physical and emotional

So first thing we're gonna talk about is of course the difference is which might be pretty obvious

But we just want to bring it up before we start and I just want to say that we're not here to

Pick the battle for you of which one's more important

We're not talking about you know physical being more important than emotional rights first

So we're here to just talk about the differences share our our perspectives and our needs that we've had in our marriage and how we've kind of

wrestled with this one a little bit. I know it's not easy going to the table to talk about intimacy

It's not easy to talk about our sexual needs or things that we you know feel like we're lacking in marriage

Because we don't want to hurt the other person's feelings or sometimes we're just motivated by anger that we just can't even get to that conversation

And so our biggest goal with today's episode is just to bring up the conversation share

What we've been through and hopefully give you guys some encouraging tips and

Biblical perspective on on how to address this in marriage

So again, we're not talking about which ones more important here

We're just talking about that both are so necessary for a marriage after God

So Aaron in our marriage you tend to have more physical needs and I tend to have more emotional needs

I don't know if that's true for every marriage

I doubt it because we know some people that are it's flip flopped for them

So every marriage is different, but I thought we could start out by you sharing from your perspective

Kind of define what some physical romantic needs are and then I could describe what some emotional romantic needs are

Before I describe the differences. I'd like to say that I think that it would be

Dangerous for us to think that I have physical needs only and you have emotional needs only
