In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we share our thoughts on why a good spouse doesn't deserve to be in a "non intimate" marriage. We are not just talking about sexual intimacy, but also emotional intimacy, because intimacy is not just a bonus in marriage, it is a CORE part of marriage.It's not at all selfish to want sex or affection. It's human. A good spouse who pours into the marriage emotionally and physically shouldn't be told to “just deal with it” if their needs go unmet. A good spouse deserves mutual care—not emotional starvation or punishment through neglect. We also talk about the negative impacts to the relationship when intimacy is not prioritized in the relationship. Join us for this great episode!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.

If you feel like you're complaining, check out this Q & A episode with host, Leah Richeimer, as she reveals genuine marriage tips to help you feel closer to your husband than ever.  

When people hear the word "intimacy," they often think of sex — but there's a big difference between the two. In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we break down what sets sexual intimacy apart from just sex and why it matters so much in your marriage.Sex can be purely physical — a moment of pleasure without deeper emotional connection. Sexual intimacy, on the other hand, is about closeness, vulnerability, and feeling truly connected to your spouse — both emotionally and physically.We'll discuss how building sexual intimacy can lead to better communication, deeper trust, and a stronger bond. It's about creating moments that leave you feeling loved, desired, and emotionally fulfilled — not just checking a box.If you've ever felt like something's missing in your intimate life or want to create deeper passion and connection with your spouse, this episode is for you.

In today's episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we're diving deep into a topic that many couples struggle with but rarely talk about openly—the difference between awakening and harnessing sexual desire.For most men, sexual desire is always "on." They're ready to go at any moment and often can't understand why their wives don't feel the same way. On the flip side, many women often need to awaken their sexual desire, which can feel like a chore when life is already so overwhelming. It's not about a lack of love or attraction—it's simply a different sexual wiring.We'll talk about why these differences exist, how they affect intimacy, and why understanding this can be a game-changer in your marriage. Plus, we'll discuss the common dynamic where wives often hold the power over “if” and “when” sex happens—and how couples can navigate this dynamic in a healthy and loving way.Whether you're the one who's always ready or the one who needs a little warming up, this episode will help you connect, communicate, and create more balance in your intimate life.This episode sponsored by vitalhealthproductsusa.comIf you are feeling like something is off with your energy or health, check out all of the great vitamins and dietary supplements to help you improve your overall health and wellbeing.
