In this episode, Matt & Jenn answer three listener questions about passionless sex:

  • "How can I stop thinking of sex as an obligation when it's physically painful? While we wait for physical healing, how can I enjoy this part of our marriage?”
  • “How do you navigate pleasing your spouse when you have no sexual desire and prefer not being touched at all?”
  • “How can I enjoy a particular sex act that I get a lot of pleasure from but they do not, but they are willing to do it because they love me.”


In summary,

  1. Refuse to let sex become passionless and simply a place of obligation — for yourself or your spouse.
  2. To help improve your own desire and passion, start by trying to focus on one simple thing that can anticipate and enjoy each time you make love.
  3. Don’t settle for passionless sex with your spouse. Seek to compassionately understand your spouse’s challenges and seek only sex that is connecting and mutually pleasurable.
