From the therapy room of a registered psychotherapist, dating coach and solopreneur who has tirelessly attempted a 'healthy' work-life balance for 25 years, it rarely existed for me and likely does not for most business owners, entrepreneurs and executives. The truth is relationships can really suffer. I will be interviewing expert guests who are doing things right so we can all learn to mix business with pleasure. Topics will range from building better relationships, connection, dating, and how to spread more kindness and compassion towards others while doing so. Listeners, you have the right to have passion surrounding your work while maintaining passionate relationships. You can have your cake and eat it too. New episodes premiere every Tuesday.

Episode #39: What Sex Really Means in Marriage

In this episode, we're diving deep into a perspective on marital intimacy that's often misunderstood or completely overlooked in our modern culture—sex as a sacred, spiritual connection between husband and wife. I'm challenging the transactional view of intimacy that has created so much tension and obligation in marriages today.

What if the struggles around frequency, desire, and obligation aren't just problems—but invitations? Invitations to discover a more beautiful understanding of what sex was truly designed to be in marriage: the physical expression of your covenant bond.

I'll walk you through:

✅ Why viewing sex as an obligation or "need" destroys the beauty of intimacy

✅ The biblical understanding of "two becoming one flesh" and what that really means

✅ How cultural misconceptions about sex have damaged our marriages without us realizing

✅ Why respect, not desire, is the true foundation of a healthy sexual relationship

✅ The practical ways to move from transactional thinking to seeing sex as an act of recommitment

Your marriage isn't supposed to be a battlefield of competing needs—it's meant to be the sacred space where two equal partners continually choose to become one. Tune in for a conversation that might completely transform how you view intimacy with your spouse.
