The Art of Initiation

Lighting the Sexual Spark - Part 3 of the Passionate Intimacy Workshop (Included with purchase of full workshop)

  Enroll in Course

"I wish my spouse would initiate more often" is a common complaint from spouses in sex and marriage counseling. When we start to explore, it is common that the current methods of initiating sex aren't working very well. "We just want it to be spontaneous" typically results in decreasing frequency of sexual play.

So what works? What can we learn about initiating sex that will help the process to be more natural and respectful of our individual styles? We've learned that setting a couple boundaries in place along with some great expectations can make this stage of lovemaking more relaxed and sensual.

Join us as we explore how to effectively light the spark of sex in marriage.
