Research shows around 50% of all marriages in the United States will end in divorce.  That is a staggering statistic! Why is this happening and what is causing this trend? While there are probably many answers to this question, but couples are obviously falling out of love.When couples are first dating, they do the things in the relationship that builds love and that continues to grow. They get married and think their whole life will be like it was when they were dating and the feelings will just grow, only to find out as time goes by, they slowing start to fall out of love. They stop working on the relationship, going on dates, doing fun things together and the things that caused them to fall in love. Love is something you have to constantly work on and for it to continue to grow, and if you stop doing the things that strengthen the love for each other, then the love is going to eventually wither away and die. When love is absent in a marriage, you just end up with 2 people living with each other.     In this episode, Nick and Amy discuss the signs you could be falling out of love, and more importantly what you can do to change the direction and find "Ultimate Intimacy" again.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

According to MANY Divorce Attorneys, lack of intimacy is rated the #2  reason for divorce. #1 is most often infidelity.. which can often be the result of #2 (lack of intimacy). Bottom line, lack of intimacy/sex is one of THE main causes of divorce. There are so many couples that have deep love for each other and get along great, have fun times together and have everything a good and healthy relationship has…but because of the lack of sex (or importance of sex) in their marriage, it eventually ends in divorce.  This may sound harsh or even shallow, but it happens all the time and illustrates how important sex is in marriage regardless of how good all other aspects are. Nick and Amy discuss the amazing answers from  the instagram poll taken asking the following questions:Does making love help you feel less stressed and more confident?What are the reasons you crave sexual intimacy with your wife?How do you feel when you are rejected constantly?Does sex play an important role in your happiness in your marriage?Nick and Amy discuss How your husband really feels when you reject him sexually.A lot of women just think a man wants sex to take care of his needs. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sex is not just about sex to a man, but so much more. Sex is not just a "want" but a "need" for him. In this episode we discuss what rejection does to a man and a relationship over time and how to work through it.DISCLAIMER: We recognize there are many marriages where it is reversed, and the husband is the one rejecting their wife sexually which can cause the same emotions, feelings and problems in the marriage. We will address that in a future episode.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.
