Why Won't She Touch Me? — When Affection Feels Out of Reach

This episode examines Laurie’s Wayback post "Why Won't She Touch Me?" (Aug 7, 2017) and the hurt husbands feel when wives avoid touching parts of their bodies. It explores possible reasons for avoidance—cultural messages, past trauma, or discomfort—and the emotional impact of feeling rejected.

Practical encouragement is offered: honest conversation, reflection on underlying beliefs, seeking counselling when needed, and resources like Awaken Love video classes to help couples rediscover affection and mutual acceptance.
