Listen to podcast episode 87 “The Sexual Intimacy Marriage Course That Is A Must Have For Couples”
Why is communication about Sexual Intimacy so important?
The #1 and #2 cause for divorce (depending on which website you’re looking at) are due to sexual intimacy issues in the marriage. This is amazing, but also shows how important sexual intimacy is in marriage, and how significant it is in having a happy and healthy marriage.
The problem is sexual intimacy is such a hard topic to discuss for MANY couples.
We were one of those couples! It took us over 15 years of our marriage to be open about what we wanted sexually, share desires, try new things, and once we did open up about sex, it took our communication to a whole new level in all areas of intimacy.
It can be very uncomfortable to open up and be vulnerable with this topic! Some people are raised that sex is a taboo topic and shouldn’t be talked about.
How do you get married and just all the sudden be comfortable talking about sex?
Some people don’t want to offend their spouse by telling them that they would like to try new things, or tell their spouse exactly where they like to be touched. Do you know what your spouses favorite position is? Do you know what your spouses greatest desire is?
Do you know what your sex style is, or how to find the balance of sex drives in your marriage?
Do you want your spouse to initiate more, but don’t know how to tell them that? Are there things sexually that you want to express to your spouse and don’t know how?
This intimacy course is designed to help you talk about all these things and in a hopefully easier way!
Some of the reasons talking about Sexual Intimacy is hard:
- Fear of rejection
- Uncomfortable or embarrassing to talk about
- Fear of what your spouse will think
- Cause of contention or arguments
- Something many couples are taught not to talk about
For couples that can communicate openly about their sexual desires, needs, likes, dislikes, fantasies and other sexual topics, they often have an amazing marriage and sexual intimacy is a huge part of their relationship.
The Ultimate Intimacy Sexual Intimacy Marriage Course was put together with the help of sex therapists, experts and Nick and Amy’s 20 years of marriage life experiences in these areas. This PDF printable course is 66 pages and uses a combination of education and question prompts from various topics to help you both learn together, discuss and implement some of the most essential communication skills when it comes to sexual intimacy.
This course will cover so many aspects of sexual intimacy such as:
- Communicating about sex – Everything starts with communication and if couples can learn “how” to start the communication about sex in their marriage it will truly be a game changer for them. We make a hard topic become easy to approach and start discussing.

- Barriers to sexual intimacy – There are so many barriers and things that keep couples from having sexual intimacy in their marriage. Sometimes couples don’t even recognize these barriers are in place. We help couples identify the barriers in their relationship and how to break down these barriers.
- Dealing with different sex drives – In just about every relationship there is a “high desire” spouse and a “low desire” spouse. This is totally normal, but one spouse should not always be the one initiating. We tackle this tough topic that takes place in most marriages and teach couples how to deal with this in their relationship.
- Understanding the different sex desire styles – What is your desire style, and what is your spouses desire style? Most people dont know this answer. But knowing yours and your spouses desire style is key to understanding how your relationship works when it comes to sex.
- Getting in the mood – For most couples waiting for both spouses to be in the mood at the same time is like waiting to win the lottery. It’s probably not going to happen. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t “get” your spouse in the mood for sex. We discuss many ways to get each other in the mood.
- Foreplay fun – Many couples don’t spend enough time on foreplay and just go to the main course. Foreplay can be amazing and many time more enjoyable than the orgasm. You will learn why foreplay is so important and how it can lead to much better sexual intimacy.
- Scheduling sex – This can be a great way for couples to have better sexual intimacy in their marriage. For many women, they don’t like to be spontaneous. They like having everything scheduled and structured so spontaneous sex can be hard for them. Scheduling sex is something that can build great anticipation for couples and make sex much more enjoyable.. and often. Find out all the other benefits of scheduling sex.
