Summary

Any good marriage counselor or couples therapist will tell you that sex isn't the ONLY thing in a great relationship. Friendship, teamwork, communication, emotional safety, respect, and appreciation are all fundamentally important too. And yet, even when all those strengths are present, if you're not connecting sexually over a long period of time... eventually lack of physical intimacy can erode even the best relationship.

To help us understand the most common sexual problems that couples encounter, and how to resolve them, I've invited expert sex therapist Dori Bagi to speak with us on this episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast.

We'll be discussing:

Why couples often have differences in sexual desire (meaning one person wants to have sex more than the other) and what you can do about it.
The role that pornography can play in a relationship — both positive, and negative.
Why body image and self-esteem issues are so often at the root of sexual problems, and how you can work together as a couple to resolve them.
Differences in the sexual response cycle between men and women, and how understanding arousal can help you both develop a stronger sexual connection.
How to talk about your sexual relationship in a healthy and constructive way.

Hope this conversation helps you find your way back together again...
