“Not that she’s a car, but Jana’s insight to my wife’s exact thoughts is refreshing and explains what I’ve been observing for years. My wife hinted at these concepts forever and the podcast gives me the needed context for my small husband-brain to comprehend. I pray that she will eventually want to listen to this and in the meantime I will try to do my part.
Although I agree with Jana that culture has played a large part in men’s expectations, I feel she doesn’t put enough consideration into the millions of years of biology that affect men’s desire for sex. It would be nice if women recognize this not as some cultural scam that men have been duped into; but rather a hard-wired (natural) desire. Also it’s not just “cave-man” behavior but the way God has designed men to feel loved and connected to our wives (just like ‘talking’ is for women).
Overall the insight from Jena will help me better understand the difficulty my wife is facing and blame her less. I’ve spent many years struggling with a sexless marriage and my conclusion has been “I’m just not good enough of a husband. I’ll never be good enough to receive sex from my wife.” Maybe this approach is the glimmer of hope I’ve been looking for.”
