216. Why Your Marriage Can't Survive Without BOTH The "Emotional" And "Physical" Intimacy

We are going to probably get a lot of blowback from this episode from people declaring that you don't need physical intimacy (or sex) to be happy. And although there might be a very select few instances where both spouses have no sexual desire, for most couples that is not the case.

Here is the reason why. In the majority of marriages, there is a high desire spouse (sexually) and a low desire spouse. The low desire spouse does not need sexual intimacy to be happy, but the high desire spouse does.

So as we have talked about before in previous episodes, the low desires spouse typically controls everything related to sex. If the high desire spouse is not getting their physical needs met, they are typically going to stop providing the emotional needs. This is the toxic game played in many marriages.

In this episode, we talk about why BOTH the emotional and physical intimacy is needed in marriage.
