Is your husband avoiding intimacy... and you don't know why?
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, we unpack four brutally honest reasons your husband may not want sex — and what it means for your marriage.
Many wives silently wonder: "Why doesn't my husband want me anymore?" Whether you're emotionally connected (or not) but sexually distant, it can feel devastating.
But the truth is, low libido in men is rarely just about sex. Often, it’s a symptom of deeper issues—and understanding those issues is the first step toward rebuilding connection and passion.
We discuss:
How processed food is reducing libido in men and women
How porn addiction secretly destroys sexual desire in marriage and creates SAD (sexual arousal dysfunction)
Why adultery (emotional or physical) leads to disconnection
The painful truth about emotional rejection and nagging
What you may unknowingly be doing to repel your husband sexually
Why physical, emotional, and attitudinal attractiveness matter in marriage
How to reignite mutual desire through sacrifice, growth, and emotional maturity
This is not a blame game—it's a wake-up call. In this episode, we share tools, examples from our own life and our coaching clients, and real solutions to reignite sexual connection and strengthen your marriage.
Sex in marriage isn’t just about pleasure—it’s about bonding, trust, and emotional safety. If you’re ready to heal what’s been broken, this episode is your starting point.
