- "President Spencer W. Kimball’s assertion of sexual problems, or so called ‘incompatibility’
over sexual differences, as one of the primary causes of divorce, attests to the serious consequences
of couples not understanding each other sexually. Sexual incompatibility is really just a lack of
understanding, empathy, or acceptance of sexual differences between husband and wife."
- "The female sex drive is no less strong than the male. The lack of sexual knowledge,
intimate communication, sufficient time and effort in lovemaking combined with unnecessary
inhibitions, have led men and women to accept this inaccurate stereotype."
- "Nowhere are differing expectations more evident than on the honeymoon. The honeymoon is
crucial because it provides the foundation for healthy sexual relations and continued improvement,
or it sours the experience for many moons to come."
- "It has been said, ‘Sex cures headaches.’ For men that may be true. But if a woman is not sufficiently
prepared and aroused, sex can create headaches."
- "It’s not that men have no emotional needs sexually, but that they have been conditioned to let their
physical needs dominate. Likewise, it’s not that women have no physical needs sexually, but that they have
been conditioned to let their emotional needs dominate. . . If, however, each would invest greater time and
effort into the parts of marriage important to the other, greater harmony, love and intimacy would result."
- "A man must understand that many times his wife will agree to proceed [with sexual relations], but if the
emotional closeness is not there, he may get her body, but he won’t get her heart and mind. It’s like the
husband who makes advances on his sleepy wife. She mumbles, ‘Do what you want, just don’t wake me up.'"
- "As men come to understand the importance of equally sharing in family and household responsibilities as a
factor in their wives’ sexual desire, they should not expect immediate payoff. It’s the ongoing sharing of
household responsibilities that has erotic potential—not a single occurrence of doing the dinner dishes."
- "It is interesting to note that whereas men seem to be ‘more’ or ‘faster’ in most areas of sexual
response, it is the woman who was created with the greater ultimate capacity for sexual pleasure. This
is a significant heavenly indicator hinting at the hidden sexual potential of women."
- "Infrequent female orgasm is certainly a factor in low sexual desire although of possibly greater
impact is the sexual frustration it creates, leading to feelings of failure as a wife and a woman."
- "The area where men most need to focus their time, attention and energy is in controlling or mastering
their sexual energy—to bridle their passions (see Alma 38:12). Women’s greatest challenge is to fully awaken
their God-given sexual potential—allowing their passions to flow freely. These two opposing challenges have
the potential to create an eternal unity and oneness in marriage."
