Jay Dee writes, with his wife, Christina, at www.SexWithinMarriage.com, a blog dedicated to discussing married sexuality within the Christian life. Jay is also is a Christian marriage coach, practicing at www.anonymousmarriagecoaching.
My blog readers consist large of Christians who have realized that while sex is not the end-all-and-be-all of marriage, that it is an important aspect of a Christian marriage. For nearly the last 4 years, I’ve been exploring married sexuality from a Christian perspective, for those who have questions that aren’t easily answered by, or asked of, the church, their parents, close friends or siblings. Every week I get new, unique questions from readers, and every week I get repeats of the same questions I’ve been getting for the last 4 years.
Of of those questions goes along the lines of “I’ve recently realized that sex is important to my marriage. How do I learn to be more sexual with my husband?”

This question, in many different forms, comes from a diverse group of individuals:
- New brides who suddenly have to transition from “sex is bad” to “sex is necessary and good” now that their married.
- Mothers who are hitting that “7 year slump”, having young children, and recognizing that the honeymoon period is over and they’ve forgotten how to show their husband that they love him
- Wives who have been married for a decade or more and just found out their husband had an affair, or a porn addiction, and suddenly realized that they haven’t been making it easy for their spouse to ward off those temptations
- Empty nesters whose kids are grown up, moved out of the house, and realize that they haven’t been investing their marriage enough and realize it’s now or never
- And many others
Whatever the situation, it’s hard to rewrite years, or decades, of bad teaching, bad behavior or bad habits. How do you suddenly become a sexual being, after years of either being told you can’t be, or decades of being a mother more than a wife?
If one of these situations sounds like you, then for the last 6 months or so, my wife, Christina, and I have been working to develop a course you may be interested in.
We addressed most of the concerns you might have in this area. We came up with chapters to help you shift your thinking about sex, and explore your boundaries in a safe manner. We put together challenges to help give you baby steps to grow and a community to help support and encourage you.
We had a group of six wives, of all different stages of marriage come through our course, to help evaluate it. A couple are still working through it, taking the time they need, but those that have finished have reported amazing changes in their marriages. Areas of their marriage they never thought would be affected by their physical intimacy are also growing.
For the rest of the Month of October, we’re offering a 40% discount. Consider an early Christmas gift from us, to help you have a new marriage by New Years. And if you use the coupon code TRUEAGAPE in the next week will get an additional $10 off.
So, if you’re struggling in being sexually engaged with your husband, I want to invite you to check out the course at Becoming Sexually Engaged – For Christian Wives, and read some of the reviews wives who have gone through the course have left for us.


What about my husband wanting or needing to feel more sexually connected with me? No judgement, without his external (arousal) wants… How to handle it as a wife who tries to be the excitement, but fails and feels rejected while he snores… Turn the tables, sex is not just important for the husband!
Hi Nadia,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing authentically! For most men they feel most loved and wanted when their wives show interest and desire in them sexually. So your first question makes total sense that he wants to be sexually connected to you. I am not quite following your next statement of trying to be excited and feeling rejected. Like you try to initiate sex and he isn’t interested, or you two attempt to have sex but one of you don’t enjoy it, etc? You are right, sex is very important to us ladies as well! This is why I have learned no matter how uncomfortable it is, it is important to talk about sex with our mate to ensure we both are having needs met. Feel free to reach out to me via email if you would like to talk more specifically about what you are going through. I might be able to direct you to a blog post or a resource. Thank you again for sharing!
