As we all know... there is typically a higher sexed partner and a lower sexed partner in every marriage. This reality often leads to hurt... confusion... misunderstanding... and resentment within the context of the marriage. THIS EPISODE IS INTENDED PRIMARILY FOR THE LOWER SEXED PARTNER IN THE MARRIAGE. In this episode Tony explores several nuances of the tension that's created when partners have differing sexual appetites... including... * How the lower sexed partner automatically... by default... assumes control of the sexual frequency of the relationship... whether they want to or not. * How the lower sexed partner has the position of the "higher ground" when it comes to sex in the relationship. * How the lower sexed partner... in a sense... has more work to do in order to create sexual equilibrium in the relationship. * Why the lower sexed partner is a "really big person" if they're willing to move toward their partner sexually. Although these challenges can be significant... they are not insurmountable... and with God's help it's possible for a couple to "close the gap" that's existed between them sexually... as they become healthier than they've ever been before. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 5:21 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3
