How Parents Can Have Better Intimacy Ready to stop letting exhaustion and the kids’ bedtime routine steal the spark from your marriage? You are not alone! The struggle to maintain a healthy, connected, and intimate life after having children is the norm, not the exception. It’s time to stop waiting and start working on your partnership. In this must-watch episode of The Impactful Parent, host Kristina Campos tackles this hot topic, welcoming special guest Rebecca Udy, a certified relationship therapist and author of the book Parents in Love: A Guide to Great Intimacy After Kids. Rebecca and Kristina dive deep into the real reasons married couples struggle with their intimate connection, giving you actionable steps to reignite your relationship desire: Why the Desire Gap Widens: Get an honest look at the common dynamic of desire differences in marriage and how issues like the mental load of motherhood and constant hormone shifts impact a woman's low drive. Redefining Intimacy: Learn the difference between the rare, spontaneous "hot connection" and the reliable, connected "warm connection" that keeps the lights on in a long-term relationship. Scheduling Connection: Is putting intimacy on the calendar a passion killer? Rebecca explains how to use anticipation and preparation to make scheduled time feel exciting. Self-Care: Find out why true self-care outside the bedroom leads to more passion in the bedroom. Feeling completely disconnected today? Rebecca suggests focusing on daily micro-moments like a three-second hug or a meaningful smile to start bridging that gap immediately. Watch the full episode for essential marriage advice!
