The Let’s Talk About Sex in Marriage Series, Part 6: It Takes Two – Building True Intimacy Together

Send us a text

This couple had an intimacy breakthrough most couples miss.

He was frustrated they weren’t having sex.
She felt used and emotionally abandoned.
He said, “I’m always open to sex—she just never initiates.”
She said, “It doesn’t feel like love. It feels like pressure.”

Like so many couples, they were stuck in a painful standoff—both wanting connection, but waiting for the other to change.

But here’s what shifted everything:

👉 They stopped seeing sex as a solo issue
👉 They started seeing intimacy as a shared responsibility
👉 And they began—imperfectly—to rebuild connection together

In today’s episode of the Let’s Talk About Sex in Marriage series, I’m sharing their story—and the intimacy breakthrough most couples miss when trying to navigate these struggles alone.

You’ll also learn:

• The subtle but powerful shift from “my needs” to “our healing”
• What both partners must confront when sex feels disconnected
• The six layers of intimacy that deepen desire and rebuild trust
• Gentle journaling prompts to help you re-engage with your spouse

And if you’ve had questions come up during this series, I’d love to hear them.
Next week is our Q&A episode, and you can send your questions to me at

Sometimes the real breakthrough isn’t about fixing sex—it’s about tending to all the places where closeness has gone missing.

Let’s do that work together.
