So often, couples tell me, “If we could just fix our sex life, everything else would feel better.”
And while that makes sense—because when physical intimacy fades, everything feels off—the truth is that sexual disconnection usually begins long before the bedroom.

When we lose emotional safety, trust, or connection, our bodies follow.

In this week’s episode of the AwakenYou in Your Marriage Podcast, we’re exploring how emotional and sexual healing are beautifully intertwined. I’ll share parts of my own story—how Jeff and I had no idea how to fix our growing disconnection and how, over time, we learned that what needed healing first was our hearts.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why your sexual disconnection isn’t a surprise when emotional closeness has faded.
• How emotional safety and trust create the foundation for lasting desire.
• What emotional betrayal really is—and how to rebuild safety after it.
• Why early-stage attraction feels effortless but often lacks depth.
• How to rebuild the “emotional house” of your marriage so intimacy feels real, not transactional.
• Practical ways to reconnect that don’t start in the bedroom.

This isn’t about blaming or fixing—it’s about understanding. Because when your heart begins to heal, your body follows. When trust is rebuilt, passion can grow again.

If this conversation resonates with you, I encourage you to go back and listen to my Sex in Marriage series—it’s a compassionate guide to understanding desire, shame, and emotional safety in intimate connection.

And if you’re ready to take a next step, now is the perfect time to book a Courageous Love Conversation. Before the holidays sweep you away, give yourself and your marriage the gift of space—to talk, to be seen, and to begin again.
