Society is convincing women that if they are "not in the mood" for sex, and if they don't feel like making love that night, then they shouldn't have to even think about it!

Society is convincing men that sex is now completely "off limits" unless his wife is already "in the mood" which seldom happens. Many husbands have expressed to us how fearful they are of even trying to initiate sex any...

A pet peeve is a relatively minor annoyance that provokes a strong negative reaction in your spouse (or other person).

We recently did a video on social media for the men titled "the reasons your wife doesn't want to make love to you." We have heard a lot of the women state it is because their emotional needs are not being met .

Although this episode is geared towards women who have husbands who don't want to have sex,...
