Susan remembers a time when she and Edward couldn't get enough of each other. They would talk for hours on end. Edward wouldn't want to leave when he dropped Susan off after a date, and they would just talk about everything. Now she asks, "Why doesn't Edward talk to me? We used to talk for hours when we were dating and I knew everything about him, but now I can't get him to open up with me and share any of his dreams and concerns and worst of all he doesn't seem to care what's going on in my life."
That is not the only thing that has changed in the relationship. Edward remembers the passion he and Susan used to have together when they were playful and couldn't keep their hands off each other. Now he asks, "Why doesn't Susan want to have sex with me very much? She used to be so full of passion, and now she is stoic when I make advances or touch her. She just makes a joke when I bring up us being together intimately." Have you contemplated anything like that about your relationship? Have you wondered where the spark went? Is there a possibility of reigniting it again? Where is that spark hidden now?
Even though there is much more to marriage than conversation and sex, these are important elements to a good marriage. So, what does communication and sex have in common? To understand this, one must understand what each of these accomplishes for both the man and woman. Join Edward and Susan as they explore both the wrong and right way they have been approaching communication and sex.
