Summary

When couples are in an erotic, thriving marriage, it's not about new sex positions, it's about creating a relationship where there is a sense of aliveness and authenticity. And nothing creates this type of energy in a relationship more than intimacy--really knowing your spouse and being known by them in return. Passionate marriages are for those who are courageous enough to let go of the masking and the attempts to control and instead bring their full, imperfect selves to the other and tolerate letting their spouse know them enough to really choose them (imperfections and all). In this powerful Q&A session, Dr. Finlayson-Fife takes questions from her audience about how to keep passion alive in long term marriages. Want to learn more?
