Summary

Sabrina and her husband had zero physical intimacy. There was no touching, no tenderness—and no respect either. The distance between them felt hopeless.

On this episode, Sabrina shares exactly what she did—so you can use her story as a roadmap for your own. If your husband doesn’t want sex and you’re feeling rejected, this story will fill you with hope.
