In this transformative episode of the Relationship Renovation Podcast, hosts Tarah and EJ Kerwin sit down with Zach Brittle, renowned couples therapist and host of Marriage Therapy Radio, to unpack the complex and often misunderstood world of intimacy in long-term relationships. Zach, who is uniquely certified in both Relational Life Therapy and Gottman Therapy, dives deep into the many layers of intimacy—emotional, intellectual, physical, sexual, and spiritual. Instead of falling into the trap of viewing intimacy as a simple binary between emotional and physical needs, Zach introduces powerful new frameworks and negotiation strategies that empower couples to identify, define, and revive all forms of connection in their relationships.

Listeners will hear candid, refreshing discussions on why so many partners feel disconnected—sexually and emotionally—even after years together, and how shifting your mindset and communication style can make all the difference. Zach shares insightful questions every couple should ask themselves, like “What is sex for?” and “What truly counts as intimacy in our relationship?” Whether you’re struggling with mismatched sex drives, navigating changing bodies, or just looking for more depth and openness in your partnership, this episode offers actionable tools and fresh perspectives. Tune in and get inspired to talk about intimacy in entirely new ways—these are conversations that could transform your relationship forever!
