This is Part 2 of a special two-part series exploring the difference between having sex and making love.
If you haven’t listened to Episode 300 yet, go start there—it lays the foundation for everything we talk about in this episode.
In this episode, we move from understanding the difference…
to learning how to actually create more meaningful, connected intimacy in your marriage.
You’ll hear from:
- Dr. Alexandra Stockwell on shifting from transactional sex to deeply relational intimacy
- Trevor Hansen on attachment, safety, and why slowing down changes everything
- Ali Bullock on communication, nervous system regulation, and building connection outside the bedroom
We talk about:
- Why sex doesn’t always need to be deeply emotional to be good
- How to move out of “checkbox sex” into something more connected
- The role of safety, vulnerability, and communication
- Why what happens outside the bedroom matters most
This episode is about learning how to bring more heart, presence, and connection into your relationship—one small moment at a time.
