FMP 290: What to Do If You Want More Sex in Your Marriage

Apr 15, 2026

What do you do when you want more sex in your marriage… and your spouse doesn’t?

In Episode 290 of The Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra address one of the most common and often unspoken challenges in marriage: desire mismatch. When one spouse wants more intimacy than the other, it can lead to frustration, rejection, pressure, and emotional distance.

But the solution isn’t guilt, pressure, or keeping score.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why desire differences happen in marriage.
• Common mistakes couples make when addressing intimacy.
• How emotional connection impacts physical intimacy.
• The role of communication, safety, and timing.
• Practical ways to increase connection and desire naturally.
• Biblical principles for intimacy, unity, and mutual care.

Healthy intimacy isn’t built through pressure. It’s built through connection, understanding, and intentionality.

If you’re feeling frustrated, disconnected, or unsure how to navigate differences in desire, this episode will give you a clearer, healthier path forward.
