In this episode of Sexy Marriage Radio, we dive into the complex dynamics of obligation sex and mercy sex within marriage.

We explore how these concepts can create harmful patterns for both spouses, leading to resentment, control, and a lack of genuine connection. The discussion emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and differentiation in understanding one's desires and needs in a sexual relationship.

We hope to encourage listeners to ask themselves critical questions about their roles in these dynamics and to seek deeper connections with their spouses.
