11/13/24 • 41 min
We hear it all the time: "My wife's not meeting my needs" or "My husband isn't meeting my needs!" What do we do about this? Of course, we want our spouse to meet our physical, emotional, sexual, and other needs. Yet, is it their responsibility to do so?

Are there ways to fix this? Let's dive into understanding and meeting each other's needs.
