I think in every habit Ed Mylett "compound pounding" effect is the best solution... in sport, in business, in relationships. 1. If you use compound pounding in sport, (exercissing for an hour) you will see no results in 5 days, but you will see big results in 100 days. 2. If you will say a good morning to people, you will see no effect in 5 days, but you will see a great difference in 100 days. 3. If you will practice the compassion for your partner and make some good deed, you will see no or small difference in 5 days, but you will see a great difference in 50 or 100 days, you will see how much you mean to them. People see this compound pounding effect in the nature.... the garden looks the samne after few days, buta ftera 100 days it looks different. Therefore you can not tell if your values are working after one week, because you see the effect after 100 or 140 days. Maybe each couple should practice this technique, If I will make something small to make my partner happy, for a little moment, they will remember these little moments. and good calm or happy mood increases the immunity of the body by 50 percent in 4 days. So their kids will learn the same technique. They will learn that if they will read a book 10 minutes a day, it has great impact on brain. Next time it may be 20 minutes a day. But if you stop doing the healthy habit now... after a week it makes no difference after 140 days the results change for worse, you loose muscles or you lose some skill or motivation etc. Good deed may be also making a pizza or small things. People actually enjoy small things much more than big gestures. because it´s about living in the moment...... Big gestures (expensive car) mean that you actually burned out too much energy to make a small effect, rather than small gestures that after time create a great effect of connection, and people like you for your authentic personality.

This is spot on; I was married at 19 (now we're both 45). We were clueless and naive, and nearly separated several times. Now, 26 years into this marriage, we are using these techniques to grow closer and communicate our wants and needs regularly. And I can also say that our sexual frequency is nearly unbelievable.

I’m afraid whatever it is that girls like, I don’t have it. I won’t find much happiness but I can still find meaning. Becoming more competent at my job, be there to provide for my family, get myself stronger at the gym, and be a better Christian.

If you keep being a good person, stay open to relationships and are willing to take the chance and make a move, there is a chance. It’s hard to believe but you need to be open to other people being interested in you, if you don’t think any girls could like you, you won’t notice when they do. Good luck and God bless.

@@kaledon6 Agreed. There will aways be someone more popular, more confident, more charasmatic, more articulate, more successful, more competent. But the mark of a relationship isnt all those things. Its time spent and willingness to love the person as they uniquely are. To see the world through their eyes and be a friend to them. To trully treat them as if they were made in the image and likeness of GOD. I think the same goes for any type of healthy relationship

I feel like intimacy was absolutely the most physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually healing thing you could both have done in that dark time. Intimacy is instrumental in easing pain, both physical and emotional, and releasing hormones and neurotransmitters that aid healing and bonding. As much work as it was, it was absolutely worth it, and may have saved your lives as well as your marriage. I think we don’t talk enough about intimacy between older couples and I’m glad you two are beginning that conversation because it’s important. Older people are, according to the studies I have looked at, having more and more satisfying sexual intimacy than young people, and that is a wonderful beautiful thing. A good example for many other couples.

16 years and 4 kids, all close in age. As a Christian wife, the book “The Good Girl’s Guide to Great Sex” changed my (then dull) perspective within our 8th yr of marriage. A book we both read that changed us for the better is “Sacred Marriage” and then we did the devotional together. Both are Christian books. It’s also amazing to understand the intricate health benefits that God created along with our more basic thought of intimacy. There’s so much more to it than we even know now, I’m sure.

I wish I could send this to my parents. I feel like they are on the verge of another divorce. They were divorced for 4 years when I was in high school. They haven’t been sexually intimate in about 15 years due to physical issues from both of them. Plus, they struggle with communicating and living together when Dad isn’t working. He is 71 and really needs to retire but she pushes him to work due to their marriage issues. He is the most loyal. Despite her remarrying the day of their divorce he never even looked at another woman and kept his wedding ring with him at all times.

Man, speechless. I'm so grateful that I got to hear you❤

Jordan, being intimate does not mean having sex. It could be hugs, holding hands, random touch when you are togather in outside environment. Sex if less than once a week is deteriorating, that analysis could be based on cultures that you are dealing with. If you were to expand your horizon and look into other cultures & other countries, couples are happily married long terms inspite of sex less than once a week or even once a month. Being married is more about how well you both of manage/deal things in life as togather rather than worrying about how many times you are doing it in a week. My parents are soul mates and they are so well bonded that they dont need to express that via sex. Real love kicks in when you are down and your partner partner steps up to care and hold you strong. Thats way more powerful than worrying about how many times should we do in a week.

Sex is needed for man ~3-4 times a week. Period When men dont need that much, he is ill for something.

I totally agree! I wish my husband had kept the promise he made to me when we were first married. He promised to date me regularly and he never did keep that promise. We are now separated after 30 years. I wanted us to spend more time together. Also there is so much more to dating/marriage than the act of sex. My husband's view of marriage was: Go to work for 10-12 hours, come home eat, have sex. That is not what I would call building a relationship. He also doesn't have a relationship with any of his children as their father. It is deeply troubling in my heart to know he could form a bond with our children. Even more so that he could build an intimate relationship with me. Compassion and a desire to face hard times is also important in a marriage. Life is not easy and our mortal bodies can and will struggle. Love for your spouse has to go much deeper than the physical act of sex.

I really enjoy listening to this content! It delves into a topic of paramount importance, extending far beyond intimacy. I believe it revolves around the art of effective communication and the fulfilment of our physical, psychological, and emotional needs as thriving individuals. Personally, I've noticed that my emotional well-being is intricately linked to meeting these needs on a daily basis. When any of my needs aren't adequately addressed, I experience subsequent emotional episodes. My emotions become a guiding compass, nudging me to halt activities that are detrimental to my overall well-being, encouraging me to listen and take positive action.

What a wise and solid advice. Open communication is necessary and building intimacy is essential for a healthy relationship.

So true ! So good. 100 percent

Without putting yourself in the same shoes as your spouse , to the responsibilities they have , you can’t appreciate them and the roll they play in your life ! It is a learning experience for both of you as you mature . To even begin to start off in a relationship with someone , prior to marriage , you have to also love their family and they they need to feel the same toward you . I get a laugh every time I hear the ferry tale ending ….. and …..they lived happily ever after ! You get out of it what you put into it and hope your partner fells the same . You have a better chance making it if you do !

Then one of you either makes dinner or picks up takeout just for you two. Eat by candlelight. Don't wear your pajamas. I bought a nice wood tray and wood bowl that is only for date night snacks; a nice cheese, roasted pecans, and some olives. And wine. Or make popcorn with a movie cuddled up in the couch together. It will take some training to make sure children stay in their rooms but it will be worth it. Trust me.

A US priest who counsels married couples said that 2 things that cause issues in a marriage is not praying together and lack of intimacy.

Had another vivid dream that incidentally included You Dr Peterson. Perhaps Freud could explain. We were awaiting a museum tour and I was on cell phone with a lady. She asked what “a” is so told her it’s an article. You started talking about Dotyesky and she didn’t understand. That dream ended in a small prison fight… Vivid dreams of late. I see a manufactured end of days coming yet I still wish for my better half. How silly.

LOVE THE SOUL NOT THE BODY. the inside of the person not the outside.

Lack of any kind of intimacy for long periods of times is a big no no for a relationship, okay noted sir

Sometimes it happens, and you need to invest conscious effort. However, if you are constantly running after rekindling romance, you are in the wrong relationship. If we add "similarity" (aka how much you have in common, how easily you communicate, how useful the other person is) in one axis and "value" (how different you two are and this difference is perceived as an advantage) in the other, a common issue I have noticed across multiple couples is scoring very high on the "similarity" axis and very low on the "value" they struggle way too much. In fact, I think they have plainly bad relationships. There's a goldilocks zone for each one of us and staying away from miserable people.

why is my single ass here 😂

Only interested in myself

I havent been on a date that i havent planned in years. Yes I'm married. He isnt much of a participant.

To all the males who are saying that they "don't have what females want" (but that would like a long term committed relationship) here are a few things to do: First, work with a psychologist or therapist to explore where the idea is coming from, the experiences that built the idea, and how you can overcome it. Have the courage to change. Second, if you have female friends, have conversations with them about what you think women want v. what they think women want. You can also recruit them allies in helping you become marriage material and dating. Third, if you don't have sisters, cousins, or friends that are female, make the effort to find some. Women naturally network like crazy, and if one of the women you're friends with isn't interested she'll have a friend, or they'll have a friend who is. Fouth, first dates are often uncomfortable and awkward for both parties, so start slow. Go on a walk, to lunch, or out with another couple to take some pressure off getting to know someone. Fifth and finally, hold on to hope. Hope, kindness, confidence, intelligence, and pursuing your interests career, or progress in life are universally attractive qualities.

I have never been tempted. Trapped in a loveless, sexless marriage. And I have never been in a situation where cheating was possible. How is this possible?

Why don't you just divorce? Why are you trapped in it?

Matthew 13:18-23 18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

My friend and I use to joke around and would say, the man who gets laid stays. I don’t but that may be true for women also.

This is such a rediculous subject to talk about, yet it's a need. Marriage is about intimacy, so therefore if you're not getting up close and personal, you have every reason to ask, why bother? The real problem is, if you don't give it to your partner, the both of you are at risk with the relationship.

The people laughing aren't living it - that's for sure.

Jesus! Delusional! I wish I thought about that word earlier in relationship to people's life expectations. As for me... Here's one thing I'm going to take with me, one that pervades the tests. "If I could have what I wanted, what would it look like? (Hardest question to ask yourself about anything, especially when your neuroticism is through the roof and your industriousness is through the floor). Then you can stumble forward stupidly and approximate getting it." Mornings with dr. Peterson. :)

Dealing with this behavior of his and mine is so difficult. In fact, yesterday we tried to have sex, he went soft I went numb, I dismounted and cried. Then I told him I do t want to have sex anymore

He can still satisfy you without an erection and you can still have the bonding intimacy.

If that happened, dont you think he also might be hurt from the way you acted? I mean if i had troubles getting it up and then my fear happened and my girlfriend would dismount and cry and then would say, that she wouldnt want to be intimate with me anymore, that would destroy me. Wtf

​@@julianrudert7779Yeah that sounds pretty heartless to me.... If you care for someone you don't act like that. She sounds like a child to me...

There is medication for that. You do not need to take that as a personal issue. Health issues cause that not mental or heart issues.

Everyone has a bad round every now and then. It sounds like you all might not be in the best of health (not to be presumptuous, but since you mentioned the details of flacid-ness and lack of sensation). Try cuddling naked, with no expectations for sex. Really, NO expectations. It will help you to bond and hopefully relax. I would reach out to a naturopath if you want to get to the root causes of what's limiting your mutual sex drive, or the mechanics of it. Modern medicine can band-aid the problems, but they can be problematic in the long term. I'm sorry you all are going through this, but it can be alright if you keep working through it :)
