266: When Your Spouse’s Fantasy Pushes You Too Far (and When Yours Gets Rejected)
Get Your Marriage On! with Dan Purcell
In this episode of Get Your Marriage On!, we’re diving into gridlock—the moments in marriage where no matter what you choose, it feels like you lose. These conflicts can leave you wondering if you married the right person or why your spouse can’t see things your way.
But conflict itself isn’t the problem—how you handle it is. And since sex is often the biggest source of gridlock, it can also be the greatest opportunity for growth and deeper intimacy. We’ll explore a real-life example of what happens when one spouse pressures the other with their sexual fantasies, and how that cycle of placating, resentment, and withdrawal can be transformed into honest intimacy instead.
By the end, you’ll see how even sexual disagreements can become invitations to stretch, grow, and build a more passionate, connected marriage.
