In this episode of The Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we're diving into a topic we honestly never expected to cover, but It's one of the most vulnerable, painful, and confusing issues couples face, yet it's far more common than most people realize.Over the past year, we've received countless messages from both husbands and wives who feel distressed, ashamed, or completely lost because their attraction toward their spouse has changed, or they say they aren't attracted to them anymore and don't know what to do.Because so many of you have reached out and asked for guidance, we knew we needed to approach it carefully, compassionately, and with an expert. So we invited back one of our favorite guests and experts, LMFT Kevin Johnson, who specializes in relationships, emotional connection, and marital dynamics.If you or your spouse have ever felt this way, or if you simply want to understand why this happens in marriage, then this podcast episode is for you.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

Permission to Feel: Creating Safety for Emotional Intimacy Episode Summary In this powerful episode, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis explore one of the most important — and misunderstood — aspects of healing after betrayal: emotional experience and expression. Many of us have been conditioned to suppress emotions, especially those that feel scary, overwhelming, or “unacceptable” — such as anger, fear, grief, or shame. Often, our logic steps in and says, “You shouldn't feel that,”creating an internal shut-down that prevents emotional processing and healing. Drawing on neuroscience, attachment theory, and therapeutic insights, Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn discuss: Why we feel before we think — and what that means for trauma responses The cultural discomfort with strong emotions and how this affects relationships How betrayal trauma conditions many partners to distrust their internal emotional cues The science of tears — and how crying releases different emotional chemicals Jill Bolte Taylor's “Brain Huddle” — an integrated approach to emotional awareness How emotional safety enables true relational intimacy Why our job is not to fix emotions, but to be with the person experiencing them What prevents couples from sharing emotions — and how to rebuild that trust Listeners are invited to approach their inner world with curiosity instead of judgment, give themselves permission to feel, and begin courageous conversations about how emotions are shared within their relationship.

Intimacy isn't just sex or deep talks; it has twelve different faces that shape how connected you feel in your relationship. In this episode, we explore the “house of intimacy,” from emotional and physical closeness to playful, creative, ritual, and spiritual connection. Learn why intimacy fades, how to rebuild it without pressure, and how to discover new doors that bring your relationship back to life.

Emotional intimacy is the foundation of deep, lasting connection — it's about feeling seen, safe, and understood by your partner beyond the physical. When emotional closeness strengthens, physical intimacy often becomes more meaningful and satisfying.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

Today, I have a special guest! My hubby. Welcome David. We're talking about a season many couples experience without realizing it, when marriage starts to feel more like roommates living under the same roof, or busy with travel schedules, than soulmates sharing life together. Perhaps the laughter has faded, prayer time has become rare, or meaningful conversation has given way to logistics and routines. The good news? Emotional intimacy can be rebuilt, even after years of distant coexistence. Marriage doesn't have to plateau into distant coexistence. With intentionality, prayer, and shared joy, your relationship can flourish again, moving from roommates to soulmates, laughing, loving, and partnering in life with purpose. If today's episode resonated with you, connect with me beyond the podcast! Follow me on Instagram or visit my website for more encouragement and resources to strengthen your marriage in every season. Remember, your marriage is a journey, and it's never too late to rediscover each other and deepen your connection.   Schedule Your 30-Minute FREE Coaching Discovery Call  What's Next Game Plan Instagram Facebook billie@billiejauss.com www.billiejauss.com

Do You Love Me as Much as the Kids? A Conversation Every Couple Needs One of our friends recently asked his wife, “Do you love me as much as the kids?” and it sparked a powerful conversation about love, priorities, and intimacy in marriage. Many husbands have shared with us, through messages or emails, that sometimes they feel like they come after everything else, especially the kids. And yes, this can go both ways, of course.Instead of quickly answering, “Of course not! Duh!”, take a moment to reflect on your own marriage. Does your spouse feel the need to ask this? Why? It's not a bad question, it's deeply important. When discussed in a loving, thoughtful way, it can strengthen connection, clarify needs, and prevent resentment.In this episode, we dive into:Why husbands ask this question and what's really underneath itHow wives may unintentionally spark this concernHow to balance parenting and marriage without guilt or competitionConversation questions that can transform your connectionPlus 5+ Questions Couples Can Ask Each Other on this episode:When do you feel most loved and prioritized by me?Do you ever feel like the kids come before you, and if so, what does that look like?How can I reassure you that you're my spouse first, even in busy seasons?What would “balance” between marriage and kids look like in this season?What's one intentional or fun thing we could do this week to remind each other that our marriage comes first?Tune in for honest, heartfelt advice that will inspire you to keep your marriage at the center of your life. If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

Why does passion fade in marriage, and what can you actually do about it?

You can say all the right things and still miss each other. Discover why emotional honesty—not performance—is the gateway to real connection, and how to break the cycle of surface-level intimacy without sacrificing strength.What if the very thing that makes you successful is also what's silently distancing you from your partner?In today's episode of The Recalibration, we explore emotional honesty in marriage — and why it's so hard for high-capacity humans to access it. You might be articulate, self-aware, and transparent… and still be emotionally unavailable. Julie Holly shares her own journey of emotional detachment disguised as leadership, revealing how high performers often substitute control and composure for true vulnerability — not out of malice, but out of protection.This episode blends real-world storywork, neuroscience, and relationship research from Dr. John Gottman to uncover the invisible gap between what we say and how we actually connect. It's not about mastering conflict scripts or fixing communication. It's about recalibrating identity — so your presence matches your power.You'll hear:Why emotional honesty feels risky to high achieversHow “transparency” can still be a maskWhat Gottman's bids for connection reveal about nervous system safetyHow tiny missed moments create emotional shutdownWhy ILR is not mindset work — it's identity work that restores intimacyHow to lead your marriage with presence, not performanceWhether you're in a long-term relationship or simply desiring deeper emotional connection, this episode invites you to stop calculating and start connecting.Today's Micro Recalibration:Where have I been withholding emotional honesty to protect an image?What truth — even a small one — could I share today that would build intimacy, not distance?For Couples (Recalibration Together):What's one moment recently where you felt I turned toward you — or didn't?This is the kind of clarity that recalibrates more than just your marriage — it shifts your whole life.Linked Resources:Seven Principles to Making Marriage Work by John Gottman PhD and Nan Silver The Deep-Rooted Marriage: Cultivating Intimacy, Healing, and Delight by Dr. Dan B.

Send us a textWhat if the path to profound sexual connection begins long before anyone enters the bedroom? Christian de la Huerta, author of "Conscious Love: Transforming Our Relationship to Relationships," reveals how emotional awareness creates the foundation for sacred sexuality and deeper relationship satisfaction.Most of us are surprisingly clueless about our emotions, suppressing them until they either erupt volcanically or manifest as physical ailments. Christian walks us through practical approaches to developing emotional intelligence, including a simple grid method to check in with yourself throughout the day. This awareness creates choice in how we respond rather than react, allowing us to take responsibility for our feelings instead of blaming others.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore how historical and cultural factors have separated sexuality from spirituality. In many ancient traditions, sexuality was considered sacred—a pathway to transcendence and union. Christian challenges the artificial divide between physical and spiritual realms, offering practical ways to reclaim the sanctity of sexual connection. He shares a delightful framework comparing sexual experiences to food—from "junk food sex" to "gourmet sex".Support the showThanks for listening!Check out this site for everthing to know about women's pleasure including video tutorials and great suggestions for bedroom time!!https://for-goodness-sake-omgyes.sjv.io/c/5059274/1463336/17315Take the happiness quiz from Oprah and Arthur Brooks here: https://arthurbrooks.com/buildNEW: Subscribe monthly: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1805181/support Email questions/comments/feeback to tamara@straightfromthesourcesmouth.co Website: https://straightfromthesourcesmouthpod.net/Instagram: @fromthesourcesmouth_franktalkTwitter: @tamarapodcastYouTube and IG: Tamara_Schoon_comic

In this episode of Operation: Thriving Marriage, we explore what it truly means to build emotional intimacy in marriage. When you think of intimacy, what comes to mind? Many couples confuse intimacy with romance or sex, but they are not the same. Romance and intimacy feed each other, but intimacy goes much deeper. When we mistake sex for intimacy or make it the goal, we miss out on the true connection God designed for marriage. This misunderstanding often leads to distance, disconnection, and even infidelity—one of the top reasons marriages fail.   True intimacy is about deeply knowing and being known by your spouse. Dictionaries use words like “close,” “personal,” “private,” and “deep” to define intimacy. Biblically, it's expressed in Genesis 2, where Adam and Eve were “naked and not ashamed”—fully seen, fully known, and unafraid. This level of closeness doesn't happen by accident. It takes intentional effort: having meaningful conversations that go beyond work or kids, spending time together without distractions, forgiving each other, having fun, and even small, non-sexual touches that foster connection. Sex is important too, but in Scripture it's tied to knowing your spouse deeply, not just a physical act.   God designed marriage to be your closest human relationship. Genesis 2 shows His intent for unity: “A man leaves his father and mother and unites with his wife, and they become a new family… The man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed.” Building emotional intimacy means embracing vulnerability, knowing your spouse deeply, and living out God's vision for a thriving marriage.

There was a season in my marriage when we were having sex… but something still felt painfully off.We weren't fighting. We were doing the “right” things.But emotionally, we were disconnected — and I felt it most clearly in the bedroom.We were going through the motions — like fast food intimacy.It gave us temporary relief but left us hungry for something deeper.Maybe you know what that feels like…Maybe sex has become a routine task you check off the list.Or maybe it's been so long, you don't even know where to begin.Maybe you're wondering: Is something wrong with me… with us?You're not alone — and nothing is wrong with you.AND something different is possible.In this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I talk about:Why sex can become a substitute for emotional connection — and how to tell the differenceHow to shift from “performance” to presenceWhat I did in my own marriage to stop blaming and start healingWhy foreplay starts right after sex ends (this insight is a game changer!)And a powerful visualization to help you reconnect with what your heart really wantsIf sex has become disconnected, distant, or just not what you hoped it would be, I invite you to listen in.You are not broken.

Emotional intimacy is the foundation of a strong, lasting relationship. It's what allows partners to feel safe, seen, and deeply connected. When emotional intimacy is present, couples can be vulnerable without fear of judgment, express needs honestly, and support each other through life's ups and downs. This kind of closeness builds trust and deepens love over time. Without it, couples may feel like strangers living under the same roof—disconnected, misunderstood, and emotionally alone. Emotional intimacy doesn't happen by accident; it's built through consistent communication, empathy, and shared experiences. It grows when couples make time for each other, listen without defensiveness, and show affection beyond just physical touch. When emotional intimacy is strong, it naturally strengthens physical intimacy, conflict resolution, and overall satisfaction. It becomes the safe harbor where both partners can recharge, reconnect, and rediscover each other. In short, emotional intimacy is the glue that holds a relationship together.Have a question?
