What happens when one spouse wants sex more than the other?

Is someone broken?

Is someone selfish?

Is this just a “phase”… or is something deeper going on?

In this powerful episode of Sex Ed for Saints, we’re joined by therapist and sexual health expert Dr. Trina Read to unpack one of the most common yet least talked about issues in marriage: mismatched libidos.

If you’ve ever felt rejected, pressured, confused, guilty, or simply disconnected in your intimacy, this conversation is for you.

We’re talking about:

• What mismatched libido actually means

• Why desire discrepancies are so common

• The psychology behind the libido gap• How stress, trauma, mental load, and emotional safety affect desire

• How to move from pressure and resentment to partnership and understanding

• Practical tools couples can start using immediately

This episode is honest, compassionate, and grounded in both clinical insight and relational wisdom. Friend, you are not broken. And neither is your marriage.
