306: The Truth About Intimacy: What No One Talks About

Intimacy in marriage is one of the most important yet often least discussed topics, especially in faith-based circles. In this episode, Corrine and Neil open up about their own journey—what they’ve learned, what’s changed over the years, and why communication is everything when it comes to connection. From navigating different love languages to understanding the role of intimacy beyond just physical connection, they break down the small but meaningful shifts that can make a big difference in a relationship.

They also share surprising insights from a recent study on how often married couples with kids are actually intimate (hint: it’s probably less than social media makes you think!). Plus, Corrine gets candid about the backlash she received after writing about intimacy on Substack and why so many women feel like they have nowhere to turn for real, honest conversations on this topic.

If you’ve ever felt like you and your spouse are just coexisting instead of truly connecting, or if you’ve struggled with mismatched expectations in marriage, this episode is full of insights and real-life experiences that will leave you feeling encouraged, validated, and equipped with a fresh perspective on prioritizing intimacy in a way that actually strengthens your relationship.

The book Corrine and Neil mentioned in this episode: The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts by Gary Chapman. You can check it out here on Amazon.
