I attended a marriage conference hosted by a Las Vegas community church last weekend—not to learn, but to research. What are these events teaching about marriage priorities? After two days, I found the same surface-level advice: pray together, communicate better, keep God at the center. Check, check, check. But something critical was missing—sex.
Stats show 25-50% of marriages are sexless (10 times or less per year), yet churches tiptoe around men’s core needs: respect and physical intimacy. Women often sign up for these conferences, hoping to hear how husbands can love them better, while men quietly wait for practical advice on intimacy that never comes. Why? Churches fear alienating women, who drive attendance—and tithes.
The Bible doesn’t shy away from this—1 Corinthians 7:5 warns against withholding sex, yet it’s taboo in sermons. Half the congregation is in dysfunctional marriages, unfulfilled and unheard. Men’s desire isn’t a flaw; it’s God-given. So why aren’t churches addressing it?
In this video, I unpack my experience, the stats, and why Christian churches need to rethink their approach to marriage—starting with teaching women how to love their husbands, not just the other way around.
