Charting Toward Intimacy

You Have to Ask for What You Want | Ep. 122

Guess what! You and your spouse are different people who have different wants and needs.


Your spouse is not going to want the exact same things you want and you're not going to want the exact things your spouse wants. In fact, you spouse might not care one bit about something you want, and THAT'S OK. Here's why, it's your job as spouse to communicate your wants and needs to your spouse. Your spouse isn't going to care unless you share how important it is to you.


Sometimes that means you have to ask more than once. Sometimes it means you have to ask more than 10 times. Sometimes it means you have to charitably ask every single day for multiple years until it becomes clear how important it is.


This applies both in and out of the bedroom too! Listen in for more on this topic and examples of how we've seen this play out in our marriages.
