In this episode, I sit down again with Phil and Priscilla Fretwell to explore what true intimacy in marriage really means. Together, we unpack how family backgrounds, vulnerability, and faith shape our ability to be fully known and fully loved. 

Phil and Priscilla share their honest journey through their marriage struggles, healing, and the importance of spiritual and emotional connection—not just physical closeness. 

We also touch on how intimacy matters for everyone, married or single. Join us for an honest, heartfelt conversation about growing closer, supporting each other, and finding wholeness in our relationships.
