Garrett and I’ve been married for 21 years.
On today’s podcast, we are talking about SEX. I met Garrett when I was 18 years old.
I was raised in a religious Mormon upbringing. Sex was very taboo and not talked about. There was a lot of shame and guilt around this topic. Everyone in my community and culture got married young and was taught not to have sex and then produce lots of babies—the end.
Hit the checklist and live happily ever after.
So many marriages end because of a lack of sex and lack of intimacy today; we talk about the importance of validating one another and appreciation for each other. The traditional roles of women staying home and men hunting no longer work in today's society. Both the man and the woman are feeling unseen and unappreciated. This is where anger and resentment can build up, and often, people stay trapped in a marriage or end in divorce.
I talk about having to end stories of how I was raised and how I was taught, and how I developed my sexual character.
We also dive into triggers. We see many marriages end because couples cannot get over their triggers, but if you look at the experience and history you have together, are you willing to toss this away because it of a trigger?
We also talk about the importance of communicating, what do you want in marriage and making a conscious effort to meet each other’s needs.
