Quickie Sex or Not-So-Quickie Sex

Quickie Sex or Not So Quickie? That's today's topic! Q: Sometimes I'd enjoy something spontaneous, but my wife prefers to wait until the end of the night so she can unwind. How can we honor each other's preferences? Friends - we're talking about sex! And the sex series continues with this important question!!! Over the course of the next few weeks, in celebration of the new book launch of Married Sex: A Christian Couple's Guide To Reimagining Your Love Life (It's officially available TODAY!!!! CLICK HERE TO ORDER!!!!), we're taking all your questions about sex! Gary Thomas, my co-author, is joining me as co-host for this Love & Relationships Podcast Series: All About SEX! Today's question comes from a man who would like sex to be spontaneous every once in a while with quickie sex, but his wife prefers to wait until the end of the evening so she can wind down (and after the kids are in bed!) and enjoy not-so-quickie sex. So what's the balance of meeting the different needs and preferences that come up with sex? How do you honor each other when you have different desires? Is there any way to meet in the middle?  Gary and I tag-team this question and talk about some practical ways to honor your spouse even when you have different preferences between quick and spontaneous sex, vs. scheduled or longer sexual experiences. I also include a couple practical suggestions for those in the life stage of keeping your sex life alive even when you've got little kids at home (...because I can speak from experience!!!)
