Sex Within Marriage Podcast : Exploring Married Sexuality From A Christian Perspective

In this episode I answer the question I get from so many husbands: Why can't my wife just tell me what she wants?  This used to drive me crazy earlier in my marriage, until I figured out the answer.  Now I see it as an opportunity, instead of a frustration.

Today I'm tackling the question: Is sex a need or a want?  I've actually written about this in the past but it was about 3.5 years ago, and I have a lot of new readers since then and now new listeners who haven't heard my views on this subject.  So, here we go.

Episode 2 of our podcast!  We can actually call it series now.  Today I'm talking about getting rid of veto power in the bedroom.  Often one spouse, usually the low-drive spouse, has absolute say over when sex happens, or when it doesn't happen.  But is that the way it should be?  I share my thoughts and what I believe the Bible has the say on the subject. Episode Notes Introduction * For the first 8 or so years of our marriage, frequency of sex was a constant struggle * For a while we had a sexless marriage (defined as 10 or less times a year) * We had a 9 month span without sex during one of the early pregnancies * Arguing about frequency is pretty common place in marriage. * Often spouses have mismatched drives, but the problem isn't mismatched drives, it's about who has control. Sexual security * A marriage should not be based on one spouse having veto power over the other * 1 Corinthians 7:5 Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both

Well, my regular readers have been asking for a podcast for some time, and I'm finally ready to take the plunge.  This is our first episode of what I plan to be a weekly podcast.  For those who want more information, here are the show notes, or you can listen to the podcast itself.  I'm still learning audio production skills, so be patient with me on the sound.  I hope it will improve over time. Also, I have a cold, so when that has run its course, that should help as well.  Nevertheless, I'd love to hear your feedback on our first episode.
