Episode 391 - I Meet Her Needs, Why Won't She Meet Mine?
Sex for Saints
So many men tell me, “I meet all her needs, why can’t she meet mine?” Almost always that “need” is sex. I understand the frustration behind that question, but here’s the truth- it’s not helping your sex life, it’s hurting it. In this episode, I talk about why framing sex as a “need” actually shuts down desire, and what to do instead if you want real intimacy and connection. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of obligation, resentment, or just going through the motions, this conversation will give you a new perspective and a path forward.

I’ll show you how your neurobiology impacts desire, openness, and connection, and how you can use that knowledge to feel more present, communicate better, and stop judging yourself for normal responses. If you’ve ever been confused about why you or your partner seem “on different pages,” this conversation will make so much sense.

Episode 389 - The Good Guy She Doesn’t Desire
Sex for Saints
In this episode, I’m diving into a pattern I see so often in marriages: good men with the best intentions who unintentionally invalidate their wives’ feelings. I’ll share real stories of couples who get stuck in this cycle and explain why it happens, especially when a husband’s identity is tied so closely to being “the good guy.” You’ll hear how this dynamic leaves wives feeling unseen and husbands frustrated, even though neither partner wants that outcome. Most importantly, I’ll talk about what both husbands and wives can do to break free from this pattern and build deeper...

Episode 387 - She Doesn't Hate Sex, She Hates Bad Sex
Sex for Saints
In this episode, I’m tackling one of the most common questions I hear in my coaching practice: why do so many women say no to sex? The truth is, it’s often not about low libido, it’s about the kind of sex they’re having. When intimacy feels like an obligation, when body image fears take over, or when pleasure and freedom are missing, it’s no wonder women start turning away. I’ll walk you through the real reasons behind sexual rejection in marriage and share how couples can rebuild connection, joy, and desire so intimacy feels safe, fun, and fulfilling again.
