Conversations with Dr. Jennifer

Keeping the Pilot Light Burning


Listen Later

Most relationships start with a spark, a strong desire for sexual connection with the other.



But as the years pass by the spark often fizzles, and our partners can start to feel like coworkers as our focus shifts to managing schedules, balancing budgets, and keeping up with the kids.


In this episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joins host EmyLee McIntyre of the Limitless Female podcast to discuss how we can keep the spark in our marriages ALIVE amidst the responsibilities and drudgery of adulthood, and how sexuality doesn't just belong in the margins of our lives, but can be woven into the day to day in the way we connect with and relate to ourselves and our partner. This episode isn't just about getting the spark back, it's about transforming how you see and experience intimacy in your marriage.


Listen to learn more about:


- Intimacy beyond intercourse

- The impact of anxiety / depression (including medication) on desire  

- Agency and choice in sexuality

- "Fighting Fair" in marriage 

- Prioritizing partnership



In the episode, EmyLee mentions how much she loves the Room for Two podcast. You can learn more about the podcast HERE.
