Do you and your spouse ever disagree over sexual frequency?

Ever wonder what “normal” sexual desire is and whether yours (or your spouse’s) is “ok”? Too high? Too low?

Almost 2 hours and 15 minutes of teaching in 24 short video clips.

Research tells us most couples have different levels of sexual desire – and for many, this is an area of distress.

After 35 years of providing counsel to couples, over 20 years of providing sex therapy, and over 20 years of researching sexual desire discrepancy in marriage Dr. Sytsma is providing online teaching on the topic for married couples. Inside you will find answers to questions like:

• What is normal desire?
• Is your sexual desire ok?
• How much sex is needed?
• Which spouse usually has the higher desire?
• Do most people have sex as often as they want? Is it different for husbands and wives?
• Wait, there are different types of sexual desire?

And a host of other questions you have been asking.
