If your wife has been through sexual trauma, she took some negative lessons from that trauma.
For one, people will see her as an object to be used for their benefit while hurting her.
For another, people will remove choices around her body from her.
And, that she is powerless to stop something bad from happening to her.
As her husband, you’ll want to demonstrate a new approach around this.
That you can approach her physically and sexually in a way that reflects care and love for her.
You can respect her choices and boundaries around her body.
And you can honor her boundaries.
As you do this over time, you can help her see that physical touch and sex can be something positive.
Hear a few more tips in today’s episode.

A long time ago, a mentor of mine had me make a list of all the qualities I wanted in a wife.
I listed things like beautiful, honest, intelligent, connected to God, a hard worker, great with kids, and an expert cook.
He complimented my list, and I thought my job was to go find this girl.
But, he told me that if I wanted a girl like that, I had to be a guy like that.
When it comes to anything you want your wife to be…
You can only expect her to be as good as you.
So, if you want her to be completely honest with you… you’ll need to be completely honest with her.
Honesty is the price of an intimate marriage. Telling the truth even and especially when it’s hard. That’s what lets you be known in the marriage and creates the deep connection and passion that you desire. With some bumps first. But that conflict is what creates real connection.

It used to bum me out that my wife would hug and kiss my kids…
But not me.
They were getting more affection than I was!
And my wife would tell me that she just “wasn’t very touchy…”
Which I saw with my own eyes just wasn’t true.
Learn why this is happening…
And what to do about it…
In today’s episode.

If you’re at the beach and a wave is coming, you have 3 options.
Option 1 - Run away. If you choose this, you will get smashed.
This is like trying to avoid emotions.
Option 2 - Stand there. If you choose this, you will get smashed.
This is like freezing in your emotions or trying to ignore them (or push them away with things like food, pornography, etc.)
Option 3 - Jump into the wave.
While counterintuitive, this option lets you avoid injury. It allows you to feel a gentle up and down movement that passes quickly.
Learn how to “jump into the wave of emotion” in this episode.

This is, I believe, one of my most important episodes so far.
We all have the desire to feel seen, safe and soothed in our emotions.
Unfortunately, many of us did not get that… or did not get it consistently… from our parents or caregivers.
I used to ignore this idea a lot, thinking our upbringing didn’t really matter.
But, as I’ve done some of this work on my own, I’ve seen that our childhood has a MASSIVE impact on how we relate to our wife and our children.
Learn YOUR attachment style (secure, avoidant, ambivalent or disorganized)...
And how to create SECURE attachments with yourself and others…
In today’s episode.
