In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, explores how to strengthen desire in long-term relationships by cultivating deeper intimacy and passion. She begins by highlighting the contrast between the brain regions responsible for daily functionality and those that fuel emotional and sensual connections. Dr. Alexandra explains how educated and successful individuals can transcend mere functionality in marriage to achieve both emotional and erotic fulfillment. She emphasizes the significance of non-sexual touch, sharing new experiences, and giving erotic attention to one's partner. 

 

Also in this episode:

• Engaging in new activities as a couple breaks routine patterns and introduces excitement and novelty, strengthening the bond. 

• Simple, affectionate touches without the expectation of sex builds intimacy and comfort, making partners feel more connected. 

• Paying focused and admiring attention to a partner significantly enhances intimacy and sexual desire.  Attending to feelings and sensations, both physical and emotional, is critical for deepening romantic connections.
