Intimacy is more than what happens in the bedroom. When things are not going well in the bedroom, it shows up in everyday life too.

Relationship problems fester when ignored, seeping into the way you and your partner prioritize each other and communicate in your relationship. Throw ADHD in the mix and you've got advanced relationship needs, too.

For ADHD Awareness Month, we're talking to a new ADHD guest expert every week.

Today's guest is Ari Tuckman, PsyD, a psychologist, author, international presenter and ADHD thought leader. He has been widely quoted in media and has appeared on countless podcasts. He is the conference committee co-chair CHADD. He is the author of "ADHD After Dark: Better Sex Life, Better Relationship"

In this episode, Dr. Tuckman and I discuss frequent struggles in ADHD relationships, including awkward conversations about intimacy, and where you might struggle with communication. We talk about real life solutions and suggestions on how to stay connected and prioritize your relationship.

You're certainly not alone in these relationship struggles.

Let's jump into a much-needed conversation about how to keep your romantic partnership strong in the trying stages of life and be present in the little moments that matter, so that you can both work toward a lasting and fulfilling relationship for both partners.
