The Growing Presence of Sexless Marriages Pt 2 (Marriage Reset Series) - 287

Send Questions or comments here! We'll respond back in future episodes.

The hardest conversations in marriage are often the ones that quietly shape everything else. We dig into sexless marriage with open hands and open hearts—no shame, no blame—so couples can stop guessing, start talking, and find their way back to closeness. The cultural script says men always want sex and women always refuse, but the data and our own story tell a more human truth. Hormones, stress, health changes, medication side effects, weight gain, sleep debt, and screen habits can all thin desire. For some couples, surgeries and hormone limits add real constraints. And when “not tonight” lands without context, it often sounds like “not you,” sparking insecurity, resentment, and silence on both sides.

We unpack why rejection cuts so deep for husbands, why refusal can feel humiliating for wives, and how weaponizing sex damages trust. From there, we map a gentler path: trade assumptions for honest questions, look for physical and mental health roots, prune the habits that dull connection, and rebuild safety with small daily acts of pursuit. We also talk candidly about faith and covenant—how intimacy is designed as a bond, not a bargaining chip, and how grace can hold a couple through seasons when intercourse is limited while closeness deepens in other forms of touch and care.

If your bedroom feels more like a standoff than a sanctuary, you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck. Listen for practical ways to reset intimacy, the mindset shifts that lower pressure and raise trust, and a preview of the four steps we’ll share next week to help resurrect desire with wisdom and kindness. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help more couples find the tools and grace to reconnect.
