The most common relationship advice all over the world is to compromise. If you want a bland, conflict-free companionship, then yes. If you want the spice and spark of an intimate marriage, you need to make your desires known.

DESIRES: Awaken the WOMAN within https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/desires/

As women, we are conditioned to disconnect from our desires. When I came to understand the importance of bringing my feelings into my marriage so all of me can be alive in the dynamic I share with my husband, it felt lonely. The problem wasn't that my husband didn't want me to have my desires; the problem was the way I was speaking to him about it. He wanted me to be kind.

Learning how to be kind isn't a very simple thing. I have a module in my Aligned & Hot Marriage program on exactly that. Many women have gotten used to speaking with a sting or acidity, and/or wait until the resentment builds up to the boiling point.

I'd really love to hear what came up for you in this episode. Contact Alexandra https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/contact/
