Have you lost that spark in your relationship? Do you feel lonely and disconnected even though you love your partner? In this honest and vulnerable episode, we dive into a real listener's challenge: a decade-long struggle with intimacy and lack of sex within a loving marriage.

We don't just talk about sex, by the way. This starting point sparks a larger conversation around connection, unmet needs, and self-awareness in any relationship.

Join us as we explore:

Why the lack of sex might be a symptom, not the root problem
The difference between capability and willingness in addressing needs
How to build self-awareness to understand your own expectations and communicate them effectively
Insights from renowned sex and relationship therapist Esther Perel on desire, pleasure, and long-term relationships
Practical steps to start rebuilding intimacy and connection, even if sex feels off the table right now.

If you're feeling stuck in a relationship that's lost its fire or struggling to connect with your partner, this episode is for you. We offer guidance, hope, and tools to help you find your way back to a fulfilling relationship.
