Description

How do you lovingly decline your husband's initiation of sex in a way that is still connecting and that doesn't feel like such a harsh personal rejection to him? 

In this episode, you'll learn how to put your "no" inside a Positivity Sandwich that affirms him and your desire to be connected in your relationship. 

*I address women declining husbands' initiations in this episode, but this technique is also very good for husbands to use when declining their wife's initiation, also!
