The Let’s Talk About Sex in Marriage Series, Part 5: Initiating Conversation, Not Just Sex

Send us a text

What if the way you initiate sex… actually turned your spouse on?

Not because of a clever move or perfectly timed suggestion—but because of the energy behind it.

Too often, initiation becomes about asking for something. And for the person being asked? It can feel like pressure. One more thing on the to-do list. One more demand to meet.

But what if initiating wasn’t about getting sex—what if it was about offering love?

This week’s episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage invites you into that powerful shift.
You’ll hear a client story about a woman who used to feel like sex was something she had to do to keep her husband happy—and how everything changed when she began seeing it as something she wanted to give, not just to him but to herself first!

You'll also learn:
💬 A new way to think about initiation that builds desire—not pressure
💡 The one question that invites your spouse into safety and closeness
📝 A journaling prompt for both partners (yes, both!) to better understand what’s keeping them disconnected

This episode might be the one that helps you stop the cycle of tension and start creating a new pattern—one of emotional safety, desire, and shared connection.

And if it resonates? Share it with a friend who could use some hope in this area too. You never know what one new conversation could do for their marriage.
