et al, The Stake Conference talk appears to be a step in the right direction.

The type of talk which might do a lot of good would be something of this order.

Folks, we your leaders have great compassion for you, and as you know we try to give you wise counsel, but there are many areas for which we do not have the knowledge or expertise. One of the areas where most of us lack the expertise in terms of the personal aspects of relationships.

Developing relationships is complex and often is done without good knowledgeable guidance. Although there may be reluctance in seeking professional counseling in these matters, we find such reluctance to counter-productive. We instead encourage good communication between marriage partners especially on matters of intimacy. We note we are often confronted with issues of intimacy and are ill-prepared to address it properly. We therefore counsel you to seek professional advice earlier rather than later.

Here's where Brother Goatnapper could give his pitch.
