Summary

Any good ⁠marriage counselor or couples therapist⁠ will tell you that a thriving relationship is built on many things — friendship, communication, emotional safety, mutual respect, and genuine teamwork. And all of those things matter deeply. But here's the truth that often goes unspoken: when physical intimacy fades over a long period of time, it can quietly chip away at even the strongest foundation. To shed light on the most common sexual issues couples face — and more importantly, how to work through them — I invited expert sex therapist Dori Bagi to join me on the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast. In this conversation, we're getting into: Why ⁠differences in sexual desire⁠ are so common in relationships (when one partner wants more than the other) — and what you can actually do about it The role pornography plays in a relationship, including both its potential benefits and its pitfalls How body image and self-esteem issues often sit at the heart of sexual disconnection, and how couples can navigate this together The differences in the sexual response cycle between men and women, and how understanding arousal can deepen your connection How to have open, healthy, and productive conversations about your sexual relationship If you and your partner have been feeling disconnected, I hope this episode helps bring you closer.
