This is a challenge many couples face, so you’re not alone. The fact that you’re actively seeking advice shows how much you care, and that’s a great starting point. For your wife, the hesitation to communicate might come from a mix of embarrassment, cultural conditioning, or simply not knowing how to articulate what she feels.
One thing that helped in my relationship was normalizing these conversations outside the bedroom. For example, bring up the topic casually during a walk or dinner, when there’s no immediate pressure. This can make the discussion feel less intense and more like an ongoing dialogue.
Another tip is to celebrate small victories. If she gives even a tiny hint about what she likes, acknowledge it with gratitude and enthusiasm. Positive reinforcement can encourage her to share more.
If progress feels slow, don’t get discouraged. Building this level of communication can take time, especially if it’s something she’s never done before. Just keep creating opportunities for open, judgment-free conversations, and eventually, she may feel comfortable enough to share her preferences.
