Magauta and Nhlanhla Zwane shared how true and lasting sexual closeness requires effort on both partners’ parts as well as a commitment to prioritizing a satisfying and high-quality relationship.
“We don’t prepare newlyweds on what their sex lives are going to look like at different seasons of their marriage life. What happens is that women will typically come up with tricks for avoiding it.
“They always have headaches, and men will typically say what they need has nothing to do with their head.” said Magauta
Nhlanhla Zwane spoke about the importance of making sure all the boxes are ticked when it comes to caring for your partner as this heightens the experience.
“When you are not working on things in your relationship, the struggles and challenges but you demand sex. Women usually don’t enjoy it. They feel used and if you don’t attend to their fears and struggles, to them it feels like rape.”
“When you have ministered to your woman’s fears, challenges and weaknesses, when she engages with you she gives you everything because she is so appreciative that you care about her,” said Nhlanhla Zwane.
They also shared ways to ensure there is constant intimacy within the marriage.
