Eros & Earth with Megan Lambert

When Love Goes Quiet (And How to Bring It Back)


Listen Later

What if relationship numbness, loss of desire, or feeling like roommates instead of lovers aren't signs your relationship is broken… but signals that Eros quietly slipped out the back door and is waiting to be invited home?

After years of working with couples - and living this myself through partnership and parenthood - I've seen how amazing people slowly trade aliveness for logistics. In this episode, I answer questions from the community about relationships that still "work" but no longer feel alive.

You'll get language for what's actually happening, relief from self-blame, and simple doorways back to desire, play, and warmth - without blowing up your life. Share it with your partner as a little love letter invitation back into aliveness.

If you've been searching for "lost spark in marriage" or "feeling numb in a relationship," this episode is exactly what you need.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How to tell the difference between a relationship that's broken and one that's simply lost aliveness
  • Why desire often disappears after parenthood - and why it's not your fault
  • The first honest shift that reopens Eros without forcing intimacy

We also cover:

  • Burnout, resentment, and emotional withdrawal in long-term relationships
  • Why postponing play and desire quietly costs families more than we realize
  • Simple, doable ways to invite 10% more aliveness back into daily life

Many couples feel disconnected, bored, or numb in relationships that still look stable from the outside. In this episode, I explore relationship numbness, loss of desire after parenthood, and emotional disconnection through an embodied lens. I explain how modern culture, chronic stress, and unprocessed resentment suppress Eros and erotic aliveness in long-term partnerships. This conversation offers compassionate insight and practical doorways for couples who want to feel warmth, play, and desire again—without shame or dramatic upheaval.
