231. Men Can Only Get Their Sexual Needs Met In Their Marriage... But Women Can Get Their Emotional Needs Met Outside Of The Marriage. What Are The Consequences Of This?

41 minutes

We always talk about the importance of both emotional intimacy and sexual intimacy in a marriage. Both go hand in hand and are VITAL to a happy and successful marriage, and good sexual intimacy.

However, they are both extremely different! One's needs can often be met and satisfied outside of the marriage, while other needs cannot. So how does this impact a relationship?

For most women, they need the emotional connection with their husband before they are going to be interested in the sexual connection. And for most men, they need the sexual connection with their wife before they are going to want to emotionally connect and be vulnerable with her.

*We recognize this is not ALWAYS the case as each relationship is unique. But for the majority of men and women, it is.

Let's assume a wife is going to lunch, working out, or doing a bunch of activities throughout the day where they are talking with and connecting emotionally with others to the point that when they get home, their emotional bucket is all filled up.
The desire or need to have more emotional intimacy from their husbands might not be there as their needs have been fulfilled and met throughout the day.

A husband can only get his sexual needs met by his wife in the relationship.

Could this be a reason why so many women aren't interested in connecting emotionally or sexually with their husbands? And why husbands have a hard time connecting emotionally with their wife?

In this episode, Nick and Amy discuss this very interesting topic and point of view and share their thoughts on it. They also share the poll results from the poll questions they asked on social media to see what you thought.
