Share the Crown: Rewriting Power in Marriage ft. Matthew Lowe, LCPC
from Go Have Good Sex featuring The Christian Sexpert · host Angela Griffith
What happens when we stop debating power in marriage and start sharing it? In this episode of Go Have Good Sex, I sit down with Matthew Lowe, LCPC, to unpack complementarian vs. egalitarian views of marriage—and why research (and lived experience) shows that egalitarian partnerships often lead to deeper intimacy, stronger communication, and more satisfying sex.We’ll explore why hierarchy rarely produces healthy connection, and how couples can move toward partnership instead of power struggles. Whether you’ve been taught that “headship” is biblical (it’s not) or you’ve always leaned toward equality, this conversation will challenge the status quo and give you practical ways to build a marriage marked by teamwork, trust, and passion.Because when you both bring your full selves to the table, your bedroom—and your relationship—are better for it.To connect with Matthew:FacebookInstagramHis book: Seeing the Forest and TreesThings mentioned in the episode:The Marriage You Want, GregoireMating in Captivity, PerelEpisode on domestic labor & mental load with Abby EckelTo support me, The Christian Sexpert, make sure you are checking out all of my resources, and of course, a Cash App gift helps me do all these things you love!
