Communication is the gateway to deeper intimacy — and for most of us, it's also where things get tricky.

In this episode, Francie gets real about one of the biggest growth edges in marriage: learning to talk about sex, desire, and vulnerability in a way that actually brings you closer instead of shutting things down.

She shares some of the most practical — and surprisingly tender — tools she and Wyatt have developed over 20 years of learning to communicate honestly and with honor. Some of these ideas you've probably never heard before, and at least one of them might just become a regular part of your marriage.

If you've ever felt like you can't find the words, or you're afraid of saying the wrong thing, or you've just been hoping he'd figure it out on his own — this episode is for you.

Your words have more power than you know. Let's use them well.
