Two Aims in the Bedroom: Avoiding Avoidance and Appealing Without Demanding
.svg)
Many couples long for closeness but quietly struggle with distance - not because they've stopped loving each other, but because they've stopped feeling safe to talk about what they truly need.
Whether it's emotional or physical intimacy, silence and misunderstanding can quietly erode connection. Some avoid the conversation altogether, afraid of rejection or conflict. Others try to appeal but sound demanding - and their spouse pulls further away. It doesn't have to stay this way.
Join Dr. Emerson Eggerichs for a free, grace-filled webinar, "Two Aims in the Bedroom - Avoiding Avoidance and Appealing Without Demanding."
Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7 and years of working with couples, Dr. Eggerichs will help you:
- Understand what happens when needs go unspoken - and how to bring them into the light with gentleness and truth.
- Learn how to appeal to your spouse without pressure, guilt, or defensiveness.
- Discover how emotional and sexual connection can grow together, not apart.
- Build safety, trust, and tenderness through honest communication.
If you've ever felt stuck between silence and struggle, this session will show you how to reconnect in ways that honor both love and respect.
Rediscover the joy of intimacy that feels safe, mutual, and Christ-centered.

Questions to Consider
- If 1 Corinthians 7 says spouses have mutual authority in the bedroom, why do we treat Tuesday night decisions like moral failures instead of inviting God into the tension for win-win wisdom?
- When silence over unmet needs turns into resentment and assumptions, what if the first mature step isn't waiting for your spouse but risking a humble "I need you" without blame?
- How might assuming basic goodwill change the way you appeal for 15 minutes of distraction-free talk or a non-demanding touch, turning avoidance into the closeness God designed?
- If the bedroom is the bedrock of all decision-making, could facing your anger or sarcasm tonight rebuild not just intimacy but your shared calling to serve others?
