Marriage Unmasked

Too Tired For Sex


Listen Later

Let’s be honest—when you're juggling work, kids, and the emotional weight of a strained marriage, sex can feel like the last thing on your mind. 

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the deeper reasons behind feeling “too tired for sex”—and spoiler: it’s not just physical exhaustion. We’ll talk about the emotional disconnect that often gets overlooked, the hidden expectations that create pressure, and how to gently rebuild intimacy without guilt or resentment.

Whether you're the one saying "not tonight" or the one hearing it, this conversation will help you better understand each other and find a new path toward connection that feels safe, loving, and doable.

What We Cover in This Episode:

  • Why physical fatigue is only part of the story
  • How emotional exhaustion and lack of safety impact desire
  • What to do when your sex life feels like another chore
  • How couples can reconnect emotionally before reconnecting physically
