Sponsored by: Open Door Financial Advisors www.opendoorfa.com In this episode, Matt & Jenn answer questions posed at the 2023 Nashville Marriage Day. We had a lovely time with this group and they asked some great questions, including: Do you have advice on communicating when needs aren't being met without coming across as selfish or making my spouse feel like a failure?In an effort to spice things up, is there anything a Christian couple should steer away from to protect your minds and your intimacy?How do you continue being vulnerable if your spouse repeatedly gets defensive, shuts down, shifts blame, or doesn't change when you try?What does praying together look like?How do you recommend injecting sexual tension throughout the day?
