What do you do when intimacy starts to feel like an obligation? How do you rebuild desire when anxiety, stress, or past experiences get in the way? And how can you talk about what you really want without making your spouse feel criticized?
In this special bonus episode, I’m joined by licensed professional counselor and certified sex therapist Dr. Lisa Elieson for a recording of our live Marriage Undressed Q&A!
We’re answering real questions from married couples about some of the most personal and challenging parts of sexual intimacy.
We talk about:
- Why having sex doesn’t always mean feeling connected
- How stress and anxiety can interfere with sexual desire
- What to do when intimacy feels like another item on the to-do list
- Overcoming sexual shame and negative messages from the past
- Navigating differences in sexual preferences and comfort levels
- Rebuilding intimacy after rejection, resentment, or obligation sex
- How to communicate your needs without criticizing your spouse
- Maintaining connection when health challenges change your relationship
- Why your love languages may change over time
Whether you’re struggling with desire differences, trying to reconnect, or simply wanting to understand your spouse better, this conversation is full of practical insights to help you build a more connected, playful, and fulfilling marriage.
