Do you and your wife seem to be on different pages when it comes to sex? Whether you’re the one wanting more intimacy or the one pulling back, differing sex drives can create frustration, hurt, and even resentment in a marriage. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

In this episode of Better Husband, we dive into one of the most common—and sensitive—issues in marriage: sexual desire differences. I’ll unpack why this happens, how it impacts your relationship, and what you can do to reconnect with your wife emotionally, physically, and sexually.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to:

  • Understand the root causes of differing sex drives.
  • Rebuild emotional intimacy as the foundation for a better connection.
  • Shift your focus from pressure to presence with actionable steps.
  • Communicate with curiosity and empathy to deepen trust.
  • Explore ways to reignite desire and intimacy through fun and playfulness.

I’ll also share a personal story about a client who felt stuck in his marriage and how we used the different categories of intimacy—emotional, relational, physical, and more—to rebuild connection and trust.

Practical exercises you’ll learn include:

  • Practicing empathy by listening without defending.
  • Establishing a reconnection ritual to nurture your relationship.
  • Reflecting on your role and committing to positive change.
  • Engaging in non-sexual physical intimacy to foster closeness.

Sexual frustration doesn’t have to be a roadblock in your marriage. With understanding, intention, and a focus on emotional connection, you can bridge the gap and create a fulfilling relationship for both of you.
