175: Resurrecting Dead Bedrooms with Amy Langford & Dan Purcell

It's an understatement to say that it's frustrating being in a marriage where sex is non-existent or very infrequent. According to Justin Lee Miller, PhD, who's a sex researcher, about one in seven Americans are in relationships with little to no sex. I believe good sex is healthy for a thriving growing marriage relationship. Sex is bonding, contributes to your overall health, and not to mention really, really fun and exciting. I'm on a mission to eliminate poverty and bedrooms everywhere. I want to help couples overcome their challenges that inhibit them from fully receiving all the goodness that an intimate marriage can provide. Let's stop living beneath our privileges and courageously step into a strong growing thriving marriage. Amy Langford is my co-host today. She has been a guest on my podcast before (see episode number 101). She's a very talented marriage and intimacy coach and she coaches with me in my Next Level Program. And today you're invited to be a fly on the wall as Amy and I discuss an email from John (not his real name). He has a marriage where intimacy is not very frequent. I'm grateful for John to email me so much detail and I can sense his sincere desire for change in his relationship. Remember that intimate marriages are a system. We always co-create the marriage dynamic we have, as they say, there are always two sides to every story. And unfortunately we don't have as wife's perspective. So we'll be focusing today on what John can do. Perhaps in a future episode, we'll be able to focus on what his wife, Julie, can do. Let's dive in!
