What We Cover in This Episode
Practical wisdom for couples who want a stronger marriage.
Welcome to MarriageWorks.TODAY. We are Jim Patrick and Summer.
Physical intimacy can be one of the hardest subjects for couples to discuss, particularly when tiredness, parenting, health, grief, conflict or past hurt are present. Silence can make the distance feel larger.
In this episode, we approach intimacy with gentleness and respect. We explore why pressure and comparison harm connection, why consent and emotional safety matter, and how couples can begin a more honest conversation about their needs.
