Frustration  over men's lack of interest

Break 2

Intimacy when you have a special needs child

Intimacy should not hurt

Sarah Bartel, co-founder of Cana Feast, joins Doug to discuss how women can enjoy holy and healthy physical intimacy with their husbands.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Mary - My husband would wake me up in the middle of the night. I would tell him no, but he'd keep insisting. I got to the point that I told him, ‘It feels like you're raping me'. Was it wrong for me to say this? (14:38)
John - How would you prioritize your spouse in terms of intimacy when you have a special needs child? (39:40)
