In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD dives into the importance of communication and how essential it is in creating a passionate marriage. She describes ways to adjust how you listen so as to evoke more depth, meaning, and intimacy in what your partner shares with you.

Dr. Alexandra is a seasoned expert when it comes to fostering deep connection in couples. Drawing on her experience as a physician, relationship and intimacy coach, and her own 27-year marriage, she describes common misconceptions that often play out in marital discourse and how to avoid them.

Also in this episode:

Successful communication in marriage results at least as much from how we listen, as from how we speak.
A partner's actions can be a powerful expression of love; learning to 'listen' to these actions enhances connection, appreciation, and intimacy.
Simple shifts in a listener's perspective can resolve misunderstandings and open doors to deeper emotional intimacy.
The concept of "generous listening" is a strategy which leads to richer layers of meaning and feelings of connection while in conversation with your spouse.
