About this episode
This episode discusses how husbands can better initiate intimacy with their wives by addressing fears of rejection and improving communication.
526-How to Get Her In the Mood (& Turn Her On) [Re-Release] I think all the wives will want their husbands to listen to this one. Because I have the good fortune of working with men every (work) day and hearing their unfiltered thoughts about intimacy… I can help you understand why your wife often rejects you. One of the major truths is that it's SCARY to initiate sex with your wife. So, you probably do… But in general, it's a half-invested way, in hopes that her rejection won't feel so painful. Because from experience it has been rejected, even your best attempts. Fast forward to today. Now, because a husband's attempt at enticing his wife to make love is so "inadequate" for fear of rejection. (Jfyi "inadequate" was the thesaurus's replacement for "lame" ) For this reason, the wife naturally would reject it. But what if we took the fear out of this exchange entirely? And your enticing her towards intimacy was filling for her and could even be successful!? AND you're not full of fear. Is that even possible? I think with these insights, you will be well on your way. to invite a wife–who is never in the mood– to be in the mood! [ Original Release Date: October 8th, 2021 ] PS…
