------------------------------------------------

In this episode, Matt & Jenn share several segments from previous live Q&A sessions which we haven't included in an episode before. These leftovers won't be stale! Here's what we cover:

Do you have any specific tips to train yourself to stop defaulting to "logistic" conversations and encourage more emotionally connective conversations?
How can you differentiate between "withdrawal" and an actual medical lack of sex drive?
How can I overcome shame in my physical appearance that hinders me from fully giving myself to and and enjoying physical intimacy with my spouse?
What can I do to keep striving towards spiritual and emotional intimacy when my husband is not interested in implementing practical ways to do so?
What are the limits of appropriate conversations about sex and intimacy with other Christian friends?
What are some ways of connecting during the day with my spouse? Because of our jobs, we rarely ever wake up or go to bed at the same time.
Have you found that with pursuer/responder, couples can sometimes be both at different times?
When healing from sexual trauma within the relationship, would boundaries help or harm the healing process?

-----------------------------------------------

In this episode, Matt & Jenn respond to listener feedback about the impacts of sexual shame on the marriage relationship.

sexual shame results in sexual relationships that are disconnected & withdrawn.
Sexual pursuers and responders tend to be impacted by sexual shame differently. Pursuers often bear unnecessary guilt for having sexual desire. Responders have learned to resist sexual thought or activity.
Intimate relationship is the ultimate antidote for shame. Co-create new meaning for sex with your Beloved.
