Hey friend, welcome to Job with Julie. I am Julie Slahery, your host for this podcast. And this podcast

is a production of Authentic Enemacy, which is a ministry that helps people make sense of

God and sexuality. So if you read the title of this episode, you might be wondering,

why do we need a specific conversation

for higher desire wives when we've already talked about things like libido differences

and talking to your spouse about the differences you have sexually. And I guess that's a fair

question. But I got to tell you, like, as I travel and speak, more and more, I am hearing

the story of a marriage where the wife really feels like she's got a higher desire than the

husband. And what that leads to is kind of narratives where that wife feels like there must be

something wrong with her, and the husband feeling like he must be broken for not wanting to have sex all the time.

So I think this is a very worthwhile conversation to have to come back to,

to really help couples understand what to do if that's your perspective in marriage.

Now here to help me talk about this is a clinical counselor.

Her name is Sherry Mueller.

She is a co-founder of Grothtrack.com.

She and her husband started that ministry to provide resources for couples to strengthen really all aspects of their marriage.

But Sherry has written a book and I love the title.

It's I Want Him to Want Me And it addresses the topic of a higher desire

wife and offers insight and advice to help women navigate this dynamic. So let's jump into my

conversation with Sherry Mueller. Sherry, thanks so much for tackling this topic and for coming on a job with Julie to share with us

some of the things that you have learned on the journey of helping other women and in your own marriage.

Well, thanks for having me today. I appreciate the time.
