Discuss marital intimacy
One issue that is frustrating for many couples, Lepine said, is marital intimacy. “I think it’s important for couples to have candid conversations about expectations and desires,” he said. “A lot of couples feel inhibited talking about this so a lot of anger and hurt comes into the relationship. This is one of those issues that couples need to have the courage to discuss.”
Lepine said spouses should ask one another how they can love and serve each other better and then follow through. “Rather than thinking ‘if I’m in the mood’,” he said, “be thinking about how to serve.”
