| 0:25.4 | This month of awesome marriage, we're talking about the reasons your sex life isn't awesome. |
| 0:29.9 | So all month long, we're focusing on common reasons that a lot of married couples have sex lives that might be lacking. |
| 0:31.9 | Today we're going to be talking about one reason a lot of people are not experiencing sex |
| 0:36.6 | at its best. And we're going to be talking about |
| 0:39.0 | the issue of the lack of communication. So Dr. Pam, if a married couple isn't happy with their |
