Whether you’re navigating the early stages of love or nurturing a long-term bond, she shares why emotional intimacy isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential for lasting connection, satisfying sex, and mutual growth. With research-backed insights and practical tools, Dr. Martha unpacks what emotional closeness looks like, why it sometimes fades, and how to rebuild it through quality time, active listening, and vulnerability. From gendered differences in intimacy to the power of small gestures and gratitude, this episode offers a compassionate roadmap for couples who want to feel closer.
