In this episode, I talk about why desire fades — and why it’s not gone, just buried.
Buried under busyness, emotional distance, resentment, and the weight of responsibilities. A lack of sex isn’t the problem; it’s the symptom.
I break down what desire really needs (safety and aliveness), how routine and predictability smother intimacy, and why familiarity dampens passion over time.
You’ll learn the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire, why emotional closeness has to come first, and how sex becomes a standoff when no one wants to go first.
I offer simple ways to reconnect: eye contact, non-sexual touch, curiosity, small moments of presence, and adding bits of novelty back into your lives.
Desire doesn’t magically return — it grows again through connection.
In the next episode, we’ll wrap the series with what “having it all” actually means when it comes to love, success, and fulfillment.
Rebuild desire and closeness in a real way: join us for the Couples Weekend.
Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you’re serious about finding that answer?
