Maintaining Intimacy in Marriage: Avoiding the Roommate Trap.

Is your marriage starting to feel more like a roommate situation than a romantic partnership? In this raw and honest conversation, Dave and Angie dive deep into what it really takes to create a fulfilling relationship—one built on intimacy, honest communication, and intentional time together.

In this episode, we delve into the critical topic of marital intimacy and the pitfalls of becoming mere 'roommates' with your spouse. We explore the implications of drifting apart in marriage, sharing real-life examples and personal experiences. Our discussion covers the importance of prioritizing your relationship, maintaining physical and emotional closeness, and addressing potential issues head-on. We stress the significance of spending quality time together, having open conversations, and ensuring that your marriage continues to grow. We also highlight the challenges of balancing individual pursuits with maintaining a connected and fulfilling partnership. Join us for this candid conversation on how to keep the spark alive and build a lasting, loving relationship.

We explore the early warning signs of emotional drift in marriage, from sleeping in separate rooms to only talking about kids, work, and to-do lists. You’ll learn how to reconnect with your partner, rebuild intimacy, and shift from managing life together to truly living it side by side.

In this episode:

  • How to talk to your partner when things feel disconnected
  • The danger of "marriage autopilot" and how to break the cycle
  • Why quality time is the key to emotional and physical intimacy
  • The uncomfortable truths behind sexless marriages
  • What it means to prioritize your relationship—before it’s too late

Whether you’re newly married or 15 years in, this conversation will help you get honest about where you are and what’s next. If you want a thriving, connected, purpose-driven marriage, press play.
