324: Why You're Always the One Initiating Sex (And What It's Actually Telling You)

Get Your Marriage On! with Dan Purcell

About

Why does one spouse keep reaching for more sexually while the other feels responsible for keeping things safe? Dr. Roy Myers, author of Playful Practice, shares what his research with long-term couples revealed about this common dynamic. We explore the relationship between faith and sensuality, why many couples don't actually have a communication problem, and what Roy means when he tells couples to "build a sex room."
