One of the “truisms” of the work that we do is that MOST sexual problems within Christian marriages have NOTHING to do with sex.

Most sexual problems are the symptom of the REAL problem…something in the relationship…and, usually, some gap in the couple’s communication.

Although we have found that, in rare cases, the problem is TOO much communication (Just shut up and “Do it!”), most times a couple’s first step toward improving their marriage and sex life should be to learn better communication skills.

Our friends, Susie and Otto Collins are relationship experts with a special emphasis on communication. It is hard to find a nicer, more knowledgeable pair than Susie and Otto…when it comes to learning the basics of communication.

In the video below, you can get a taste of what they teach.

You can find their extremely popular resource, “Communication Magic,” Here.

“You’re not afraid to tell me anything…”

I found an article by Delyse Ledgard, who works as a relationship counselor and psychotherapist in Vancouver BC.

It is titled, “Barriers To Intimacy.”

In this article, she lists the following as the primary barriers to intimacy:

-Lack of Self-Knowledge

-Unresolved issues – Family and Relationships

-Unmet Needs.

-Attachment difficulties.

-Dishonesty

-Trying to Please.

-Addictions.

-Lack of Time

You can read the entire article here at improving intimacy.

If one of the unmet needs in your marriage is sexual in nature, you can discover how to make significant progress in this area through Sexual Skills For The Christian Husband and Sexual Satisfaction For The Christian Wife.
