| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of Sexy Marriage Radio. And today, Pam, we're going to jump into |
| 0:05.7 | something that actually is probably fairly normal, maybe more normal than a lot of couples realize, |
| 0:11.9 | but it's being highlighted by an email that came in from a husband that's been married for 25 years. |
| 0:19.9 | And so, and if you want to jump in on asking your questions, sending in an emails, let us know. |
| 0:25.9 | 214-7029-565 is our voicemail line. |
| 0:29.1 | That's where we also can set up live calls if you want to get even more in-depth where we can get, |
| 0:33.5 | let's have a dialogue about this and we set up those calls and actually get a chance to go deeper |
| 0:39.8 | into a specific situation for a couple or an individual in a married situation or you can email |
| 0:46.2 | us feedback at sexy marriage radio.com and that's where this one came from. Mike is the husband |
| 0:53.3 | and he says, hey Corey and Pam, I've been listening to SMR for a couple years. And I keep telling myself I'm going to ride in, so here I am.

| 1:17.1 | our sex life has kind of moved through seasons. There are stretches where things are warm and |
| 1:23.0 | connected and good. And then there's stretches where it just kind of, well, goes quiet. There's no big fight. |
| 1:28.9 | There's no obvious reasons. It just fades. And at this point, sometimes it comes back. And when it does, |
| 1:36.1 | we just kind of pick up where we left off like nothing happened. And then a while later, |
| 1:41.0 | the whole cycle repeats. So I've been sitting with this lately wondering if the pattern means something, |
| 1:47.9 | because I don't know if we've ever actually talked about it while it was happening. |
| 1:51.6 | We just kind of waded out. |
| 1:53.1 | And I start to think maybe that's the real issue. |
| 1:55.7 | Not the dry spells themselves, but the fact that we're treating them like something to survive |
| 2:00.3 | rather than something |
| 2:00.9 | to pay attention to. |
