Episode notes

INSIGHT

Emotional Safety Is The Foundation

Emotional safety is the foundation that lets vulnerability and physical intimacy grow in a marriage.
Cass and Kathryn frame safety as the first rung that leads to comfort, connection, and deeper intimacy.

ADVICE

Lead With Safety And Take Initiative

Do lead with safety by showing you can handle rejection and still love your partner without guilt-tripping them.
Seek medical checks (like hormone specialists) yourself rather than waiting for your partner to suggest them.

ADVICE

Get Hormone Checks When Intimacy Falters

Try consulting a hormone specialist if intimacy issues might be physiological, because GPs can miss things.
Both men and women should proactively check hormones rather than avoiding help out of pride.
