Sexless marriages are far more common than most couples realise, and the emotional and relational impact runs deep. In this episode, I explore why sex matters in long-term relationships, what’s driving the sharp rise in sexlessness, and how both therapists and couples can address it with honesty and courage. Grounded in research and clinical experience, this episode offers a clear framework for restoring intimacy and rebuilding sexual connection in relationships that have lost their spark.
