## Resource

When Ben asked his wife of 31 years how often she actually wanted to have sex, her answer — “almost never” — completely shocked him. In this conversation, Ben shares what he couldn’t see before Doing It Together, what happened when he chose curiosity over defensiveness, and how he’s learning to create a more mutually enjoyable intimate life with his wife. It’s an honest conversation about good intentions, unexpected blind spots, and what can happen when both partners are willing to keep learning.
