Podcasts about intimacy in marriage

In this powerful series, Josh and Sharon unpack the five divine purposes for sex within marriage. Drawing from Scripture and real-life wisdom, they explain how sex is more than just physical—it's a sacred, joyful, and transformative gift from God. Discover how marital intimacy is designed for protection, pleasure, procreation, deep knowing, and oneness, and why your sex life is often a mirror of your spiritual and relational health. Sex is meant for so much more than just procreation. This came from our 2025 WE Conference.

What if the key to deeper intimacy was learning how to handle disappointment? In this episode, we're talking about the one feeling most of us spend our lives avoiding, disappointment, and how that avoidance quietly chips away at connection in our relationships. Whether it's a quiet letdown at the end of a long day or a pattern of unspoken hopes, we often sidestep the pain instead of sitting with it. But what if facing disappointment head-on could actually strengthen your relationship and even your sex life? We'll walk through a moment that might feel all too familiar, unpack how we tend to cope (or not cope), and explore how learning to feel this one hard emotion can open the door to real intimacy. It might sound counterintuitive, but stick with me - this conversation might change the way you think about connection.

Discover the secret language of sexual initiation in marriage through the Enneagram! In this groundbreaking episode, marriage coach Christa explores how each of the nine personality types initiates intimacy in completely different ways - and why misreading these signals creates disconnection in the bedroom. Learn about the three distinct initiation styles: Direct Initiators (Types 8, 3, 7) who pursue with confidence and clarity, Subtle Signalers (Types 2, 6, 9) who create atmosphere and gentle invitations, and Atmospheric Creators (Types 1, 4, 5) who set the perfect conditions for connection. Through real marriage stories and practical tools like "The Initiation Translation Game," you'll finally understand why your partner's way of starting intimate moments might look nothing like yours - and how to respond with enthusiasm instead of confusion. Stop waiting for your partner to initiate YOUR way and start recognizing THEIR unique love language in action. Watch on YouTube! Learn more about www.EnneagramandMarriage.com here!

Are you struggling with low or no intimacy in your marriage? Do you try to bring it up and end up in a cycle of arguing, silence, disconnection and then eventual reconciliation but still no affection? In this episode I talk about 3 prerequisites that we teach men to develop BEFORE they can lead the intimacy and connection in their marriage back to a place of passion, fun and flirtation.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable. There's an amazing tribe of guys in this group with us, supporting and helping each other through this process of growth and self realization. https://goodguys2greatmen.com/goodguys2greatmen-live-coaching-roundtable/ If you're facing possible divorce, we have an online course which is specifically for you - Defuse the Divorce Bomb: https://mojopolis.thinkific.com/courses/HDDB-preview?ref=a53950 What if this next year everything changed for you? That's what we want for you brother, We love teaching men these tools - how to be better, how to know who you are, what you stand for, what you want and how to CREATE it in your life through our Masculine Confidence coaching programs.

In this episode of Colours & Flavours Podcast, I share essential tips and resources for preparing for physical intimacy in marriage as a new Christian bride.

In this honest and vulnerable two-part episode, Carey shares the hidden struggles she faced with intimacy throughout her 30-year marriage while raising seven children.At just nine years old, Carey was exposed to adult magazines that distorted her understanding of intimacy. By 13, she found herself in relationships where intimacy felt more like something expected of her than something she chose.Married at 21 while still finishing school, she quickly began to see sex and intimacy as a burden—an obligation she was expected to fulfill. Guilt weighed heavily on her for not wanting it, and resentment grew toward her husband's repeated attempts to initiate. Eventually, Carey stopped touching him altogether, leading to mounting tension and emotional distance in their marriage.In her search for answers, Carey turned to countless “experts,” only to be met with confusion and misinformation that left her feeling even more broken and isolated. Meanwhile, her husband was left wondering if she truly loved him.But that wasn't the end of their story.

Intimacy in marriage is one of the ways to protect the closeness and connection that everyone shares. The enemy wants to come between each couple and cause issues.

Making assumptions impacts intimacy and connection in marriage in crucial ways. In this week's episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell discusses why assumptions are dangerous; she teaches that the act of getting curious and asking questions is a small but powerful alternative to making potentially inaccurate assumptions.  Opening up about true feelings and desires will create clear communication with your partner, thus avoiding invisible barriers in your marriage brought on by making assumptions. This episode teaches you to recognize your assumptions, in order to uncover the real truths about your and your partner's feelings, preferences, and love languages. Embracing this honest communication will transform your marital bond and lead you toward true passion and uncompromising intimacy.   Tips in this episode: Assumptions lead to misinterpretations of a partner's desires and intentions, which causes unnecessary conflict. Address assumptions by engaging in open conversations in order to accurately understand a partner's thoughts, feelings, and preferences. Directly discussing love languages provides significant insights and helps you tailor your actions so they resonate with your partner. Recognizing and questioning internal assumptions elevates personal understanding and fosters genuine connection with self and others.   Subscribe To The Intimate Marriage Podcast: Apple Podcast | YouTube | Spotify Connect With Alexandra Stockwell, MD: Website | Linkedin | Instagram   Get your copy of “Uncompromising Intimacy” by Dr. Alexandra Stockwell here: https://amzn.to/2ymI3Hl Download the first chapter of Dr Alexandra's bestselling book, “Uncompromising Intimacy,” here:  https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/book Cultivate your intimacy skills (without compromise) in Aligned & Hot Marriage, Dr. Alexandra's proven method for smart couples ready to love more fully:  www.alignedhotmarriage.com Join Dr. Alexandra's email list to stay connected.
