Are you and your partner drifting apart, despite loving each other deeply?

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell explores how planning and scheduling "intimacy dates" can save your relationship (and totally uplevel it!) by fostering deeper connection and closeness, especially for busy couples juggling work, family, and other responsibilities. Emphasizing that intimacy should be prioritized like any other essential activity, Dr. Alexandra shares practical strategies and insights. With decades of experience, personally and professionally, she'll show you how "intimacy dates" can revitalize your relationship, and bring back spontaneity and joy.

Dispelling the myth that scheduled intimacy lacks romance, this episode shares creative ways to blend structure with spontaneity, to help you reconnect emotionally, sensually, and playfully. By keeping intimacy high on your priority list, and sharing responsibilities to reduce stress, couples can overcome disconnection and discover what fun and meaningful intimacy looks like in their unique dynamic and phase of life.
