We officially launched majorlymarried.com and are going to be filling it with resources related to the episodes and more! For this episode, we have a guide on how to play the "What-if" game and filled it with practice prompts. Get it here: majorlymarried.com/resources/what-if-game/

In this episode, we share the "What-if" game, a simple but powerful conversation exercise that’s helped us strengthen trust, understand each other’s perspectives, and prepare for real-life challenges together.

We cover:

1. How to play the What-If game as a couple

2. Why it helps build emotional intelligence and intimacy

3. The surprising insights we’ve had from asking “What if…” style questions

It’s not therapy; it’s just honest, curious conversation.

Let’s be honest, everyone has insecurities in the bedroom. In this episode, we’re talking about the real stuff that couples often avoid but absolutely need to hear. From body image worries to fears about performance or judgment, we’ve all been there.

We break insecurities into three big areas:

1. Physical Feature Insecurities - how body image and self-comparison mess with confidence.

2. Kink and Desire Insecurities - the fear of being judged for what turns you on (or doesn’t).

3. Experience and Performance Insecurities - the pressure to “do it right” and how that can kill connection.

We also get personal about how these showed up in our own marriage and the tools we use to work through them. Expect a mix of honesty, humor, and practical advice that will help you see your relationship through a more compassionate lens.

If you’ve ever felt nervous, awkward, or unsure during intimacy, this episode will remind you that you’re not broken. You’re human, and growth happens when you face it together.
