In this Week's Episode.... Point #1: Middle Initials to Segue into the Background of Taboo Sex Garrett and Danielle share their backstories behind sex, not having sex with each other until marriage due to a strict Christian religious background. Regardless of the type of approach that both were taught, they found that they discovered sex together, creating a rhythm with each other, taking a very different approach with their own children.   QUESTION: Which parent should be having the talk with their children? Should it be gender specific?   Point #2: Surrendering to Tough Conversations About Sex in Marriage Even after marriage, the topic of sex isn't always the easiest conversation to have, especially when approaching it from a male and female perspective, not understanding the reason behind why one partner wants or doesn't want sex. There's a sense of entitlement that puts a tension in the relationship until there's a level of comfort to own your own shit and be more chilled out about what it is that you want, respecting the other's differing views at the same time.   QUESTION: Do you find it's hard to talk about sex with your spouse? Why?   Point #3: The Magical Formula Garrett would go into pouty asshole mode to become standoffish after not having the entitlement of sex that he expects to come with marriage to also be felt by Danielle. Her solution after a decade of rejection was that porn star sex is necessary every 3rd time they have sex, spending time to connect with each other on a deeper level without feeling like it has to happen every single time they wanted to connect.   QUESTION: What needs do you think your partner feels is necessary for you? What do you think their needs are?   Challenge of the Week: Danielle's Tip for Women: Find your magical formula in which everyone is happy. Garrett's Tip for Men: The story you're telling yourself about how your wife sees sex may be simply that: a story. You're going to have to change your story and investigate it to give you the tools that you need to have a better approach to get what you want.   Quote of the Day: "Every couple has their formula to combat against the rejection factor that inevitably comes within marriage, and I could see that Garrett was putting in the effort the way that he knew how, which came to a willingness to go all in. If you have really good sex, they're not thinking about porn or another woman but they're thinking about YOU, putting their focus on having a good time." --Danielle K White   http://dateyourwifenow.com
