38. Is Attraction To Your Spouse Necessary?

IN THIS EPISODE:

I tackle the shame, fear and secrecy behind one of the most common comments I receive from women: “I’m attracted to my husband but I don’t desire him” or “I’m not attracted to my husband so I don’t desire him. Now what?”

  • The relentless plotline of attraction in our culture and how we falsely equate it as a necessary component of desire.
  • How little physical attraction has to do with true connection, closeness and love.
  • My own experience within my marriage with fluctuations of physical desire for my husband and what I feel when I’m most attracted to him.
  • Why it’s perfectly normal to be attracted to other people.  
  • My approach to making equitable requests around personal hygiene and grooming.
