“How do you know that?” I say.
“We never have sex anymore,” he says
Does lack of sex feel like lack of love to you as well?
“Because she doesn’t have sex with you, you don’t feel loved?” I say.
“Correct,” he says
“Do you feel needy?”
He pauses. “Not really.”
Do you feel needy in your marriage?
“But you do need sex?”
He nods.
“To know you’re loved, correct?” I continue.
“I’m confused,” he says.
Would you be confused if your wife said she loved you but wouldn’t have sex with you?
Rick was caught in a trap I see a lot of guys stuck in. He equates sex to love and love to sex.
He’s so good at kicking ass at work as an entrepreneur that he gets his ass kicked at home.
And he feels resentful.
His wife feels his resentment and to protect herself, she weaponizes sex. She uses it to poke back at him.
Over the course of months of working together, Rick and I take a deep dive into three profound relational topics to help him sort out his marriage and get things back on track.
Do you struggle with lack of sex in your marriage? Or with not feeling loved?
Check out the video below to learn about how Sex, Love & Attachment get confused in marriage and discover how to sort them out.
