In this honest and vulnerable two-part episode, Carey shares the hidden struggles she faced with intimacy throughout her 30-year marriage while raising seven children.At just nine years old, Carey was exposed to adult magazines that distorted her understanding of intimacy. By 13, she found herself in relationships where intimacy felt more like something expected of her than something she chose.Married at 21 while still finishing school, she quickly began to see sex and intimacy as a burden—an obligation she was expected to fulfill. Guilt weighed heavily on her for not wanting it, and resentment grew toward her husband's repeated attempts to initiate. Eventually, Carey stopped touching him altogether, leading to mounting tension and emotional distance in their marriage.In her search for answers, Carey turned to countless “experts,” only to be met with confusion and misinformation that left her feeling even more broken and isolated. Meanwhile, her husband was left wondering if she truly loved him.But that wasn't the end of their story.

Set up a Coaching Session   Welcome to the Mr. and Mrs. Therapy podcast, hosted by licensed marriage and family therapists, Tim and Ruth Olson. This week, we tackle an issue that quietly threatens marriages across busy households: the erosion of intimacy amidst a flurry of obligations. Dive into an in-depth discussion on how life's busy seasons, filled with kids' activities, work, and errands, can create emotional disconnection, build resentment, and dampen physical intimacy. In this insightful episode, we explore the subtle ways busyness creeps into marital unity, often unnoticed, leading couples to become no more than ships passing in the night. We discuss the pitfalls of transactional conversations and the dangers of neglecting emotional check-ins, showing how these patterns can sap the vibrancy out of intimate relationships. With practical advice and real-world examples, Tim and Ruth guide listeners in recognizing signs of emotional detachment, such as prioritizing urgent tasks over important relational connections. They offer valuable insights on shifting dynamics, like managing the mental load and addressing resentment that arises from an uneven distribution of responsibilities. Listeners will also learn the impact of declining physical closeness and gain strategies to maintain simple yet essential gestures of affection amidst chaos. Tune in to discover how busy couples can avoid the trap of becoming mere roommates and instead nurture enduring love.

Author Scott Kedersha, Enneagram 3 (3-9 pairing) is not only a fellow Baker author with Christa but also the long-standing marriage pastor at Harris Creek Baptist Church out of Waco, TX. His conversations with couples over the last seventeen years have led him to understand the biggest themes in marriage issues also involve a lack of vulnerability and prayer in marriage. In fact, he's discovered that couples who pray together have unparalelled commitment and a far less drastic divorce rate, which is fascinating to hear about as he shares with us today. But what if we don't feel safe? What if we manipulate in prayer? Today we discuss this and so much more today with you in this special Christmas episode!  https://www.amazon.com/Ready-Knot-Prayer-Guide-Prayers-ebook/dp/B0BVZYMZ7F?ref_=ast_author_dpttps://www.scottkedersha.com/ Hardcover: https://www.amazon.com/Ready-Knot-Prayer-Guide-Prayers/dp/1540902870/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Visit Scott's website here! www.Scottkedersha.com For all of your relationship needs, visit www.EnneagramandMarriage.com

In this episode, we delve into the core elements that make a marriage not just survive, but thrive. We go beyond the usual suspects of communication, healthy sex life, mutual respect, and financial stability. Instead, we focus on the foundational aspects that precede and outlast these factors. We believe that building a lasting marriage requires action, intention, and a willingness to do the work. So, let's dive in!Sponsor: Marriage After God Patron TeamThis episode is brought to you by our faithful patron team, men and women around the country who have been blessed by our free daily prayer emails and this podcast, and have chosen to pay it forward.

Acknowledge and Accept that Marriage is a CovenantMarriage is more than a legal document or state acknowledgement. It's a covenant, a promise made before God. This covenant is not formed based on who we are or who we will be, but on a choice. We choose to be one until death. Understanding this helps us fight against the lies that tempt us to run or look elsewhere. It reminds us that our promise to each other is before God and not based on our current circumstances.2. Find Security in Knowing the Purpose of Your MarriageWhen we understand that our marriage has a purpose and that God desires to use our marriage for His kingdom and for our good, we begin to experience our marriages differently. The purpose of marriage was meant to reveal in an earthly human relationship the divine relationship between Christ and His church. Walking in this truth will be a cornerstone for us.3. Cultivate Willing HeartsHaving a willing heart in conversation, intimacy, and sacrifice is key to a thriving marriage. Willingness in conversation means being ready to listen, share, and apologize. Willingness in intimacy involves pursuing, embracing, and trying new things. Willingness in sacrifice includes surrendering your time for their sake, serving, and laying down your desires to be in agreement.ConclusionBuilding a lasting marriage requires more than the usual advice. It requires acknowledging and accepting the covenant of marriage, understanding the purpose of your marriage, and cultivating a willing heart. Join us as we explore these concepts in depth and provide practical advice on how to implement them in your marriage.

We delve into our journey, discuss the common causes of a sexless marriage, and provide potential solutions that helped us and may help other couples too. While each couple's experience is unique, we hope our story provides guidance and hope to those facing a similar situation.Key Points Discussed:Understanding Our Issue: We emphasize that it's crucial not to define our entire marriage by sex. Although sex is a vital aspect of a marital relationship, it shouldn't overshadow the other elements that make a marriage meaningful.Dealing with Our Discouragement: We share how living in a sexless marriage can feel lonely and discouraging. We discuss the importance of identifying and challenging the lies and doubts that may arise in such times.Our Practical Solutions:  We explore the practical steps we took to address this issue in a way that aligns with our faith and spiritual beliefs.Avoiding External Pitfalls: We stress the importance of resisting the temptation to seek fulfillment outside the marriage through mediums like romance novels or pornography, which can worsen the situation rather than help.Maintaining Hope and Encouragement: We discuss our journey through a sexless marriage, which required maintaining a positive mindset, keeping faith, and continually encouraging each other.Prayer:Dear Lord,Thank you for the special gift of sex in marriage. We appreciate the way you designed to experience being one flesh in a physical way. We pray we would continually pursue one another and posture our hearts to be inviting and ready and willing to embrace each other. We pray over our marriage and specifically our sex in marriage that we would be blessed and fulfilled. Please help us to love one another and meet each others needs. We pray when we come together; it would be a positive experience.In Jesus' name AMEN!
