209: Stop Trying to Change Your Marriage. Let Your Marriage Change You Instead.

by | Oct 11, 2024 | General Posts

There’s definitely a spiritual element to developing an intimate marriage. For example, in order to have really good sex or really deep emotional connection with someone, it requires you to be more honest, true chaste, benevolent, and in short, to do good to your spouse. It requires you to be able to endure all things and to have a lot of hope and do the little things every day, the little micro things that actually matter to build an intimate marriage.

Our episode today is a recording of a conversation I had with my good friend, Rhonda Farr.

If you don’t know her, she is a marriage and intimacy coach a lot like myself. And we had a fantastic conversation about how our marriage changes us rather than us trying to change our marriage.

This is really relevant because we’re talking about the spiritual work of sexual development; this is the refining process, the part that expands us in our marriages to become the better version of who we are meant to become.
