Physical intimacy in marriage can be one of the hardest topics for a Christian wife to talk about, especially when her husband is the one pulling away. Today, I’m talking honestly, biblically, and privately about what may be happening when sexual intimacy fades in marriage and why this is not something to ignore or carry in silence.

This episode is not for little ears, but it is for the wife who feels confused, rejected, ashamed, or afraid to ask what is really going on.

We will look at possible causes, including medical concerns, pornography, past wounds, stress, relational disconnect, and spiritual warfare. More importantly, we will go to God’s Word for wisdom, hope, and practical next steps.

Let's get started.

➡️ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why physical intimacy in marriage matters to God
• Possible reasons your husband may be pulling away
• Why a wife must examine her own heart first
• How to approach the conversation as a “we problem”
• How prayer and Scripture help you fight for your marriage
