77 - Spectrum of Intimacy - Learning to Love Completely

One of the primary reasons couples come to counseling is that they feel that their intimate relationship has deteriorated. Intimacy is the expression of love to your partner in various ways. To cultivate a satisfying and connected intimate relationship, couples must understand that intimacy and sex are not synonymous. If you measure your connection with your partner exclusively by your sexual connection, it will be difficult to remain emotionally and physically connected.

In this episode, Tarah and EJ discuss the importance of cultivating an intimate connection in various ways, including kind words, non-sexual touch, appreciation, and much more. They explore why couples detach intimately and strategies to reconnect, express love, and cultivate satisfying intimacy.
