In this episode, we dive into a question that isn’t talked about enough—do husbands need romance in their marriage too? We ran a poll asking men if romance is important to them, and the responses might surprise you! Spoiler alert: romance isn’t just for wives.We break down what romance actually looks like for both husbands and wives because let’s be honest—men and women often experience romance in completely different ways. While many women crave thoughtful gestures, words of affirmation, and deep emotional connection, men often appreciate romance in ways that might not be as obvious. Whether it’s physical touch, playful flirtation, or simply feeling appreciated, every spouse wants to feel desired and pursued.And since Valentine’s Day isn’t just a day—it should be a mindset—we’ve created three free printables to help you make the entire month (and beyond) more romantic, meaningful, and exciting for your marriage. These are simple, fun, and designed to bring you closer together, whether you’re looking to spice things up in the bedroom, deepen your emotional connection, or simply add more joy to your everyday moments.Tune in to this episode, grab your free printables, and get ready to make this Valentine’s Day (month, year, and marriage) the best one yet! ❤️FREE printableshttps://ultimateintimacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Valentines.challenge2025.pdfhttps://ultimateintimacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/datenightjar.pdfhttps://ultimateintimacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/HEARTattack.pdfIf 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.

We hear from so many spouses who tell us they don’t feel like their spouse respects them. Of course, what respect looks like can look very different for every couple, depending on their unique dynamics, values, and needs. However, one thing remains true: when a spouse doesn’t feel respected in the relationship for ANY reason, it can lead to severe consequences—both emotionally and sexually. Respect is foundational to intimacy, trust, and connection, and its absence can create barriers that are difficult to overcome.To gain deeper insight, we decided to poll our audience and ask them (you!) what respect—or the lack of it—looks like in their marriages. The responses we received were eye-opening and revealed just how differently respect is perceived and experienced in relationships.In this episode, we share the surprising results of our poll and dive into the various ways couples can show respect to one another in meaningful, practical ways. From small daily gestures to deeper acts of consideration, we’ll explore how respect can transform a marriage and create a stronger, more connected bond between spouses.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.

We hear from spouses all the time that the bar is set too high and that their spouse requires too much from them before being willing to be intimate.If you want to be happy in your marriage, you should naturally be doing things like providing emotional intimacy and connecting as a couple. There shouldn’t be certain achievements that must be met in order to experience the intimacy you should already be sharing. In healthy marriages, why do we often set prerequisites for sexual intimacy too high? In this episode, we talk about the things that shouldn’t have to always be done prior to connecting intimately.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.

We did a podcast like this a few years ago, but we felt is was such an important topic that we needed to do it again.In a video on social media for the men titled “the reasons your wife doesn’t want to make love to you” we heard from a lot of the women that it is because their emotional needs are not being met. In one of the comments from the video, a husband stated: “A man’s emotional needs are linked to his wife making love to him, which she won’t do unless her emotional needs are met first, Thus the man becomes responsible for his and his wife’s emotional needs.” This was a powerful statement which caused us to do this podcast, and reflect on this in our marriage as well.Most women want an emotional connection before having a physical connection with their husband. And for most men, they need to have the physical connection before they will feel safe enough for the emotional vulnerability and connection with their wife.So for MANY marriages it looks like this: The wife will withhold sexual intimacy (and sometimes use it as a weapon) as a punishment to try to get the emotional intimacy she wants from her husband. The husband is usually upset and doesn’t meet his wife’s emotional needs because his wife won’t meet the physical needs in the relationship (because a husband needs the physical connection first). Sound familiar? This toxic game (or standoff) is played in many relationships.. and in this game, no one ever wins and the marriage suffers from it, many times ending in divorce, especially if they are not willing to talk about it and resolve it. In this episode, we discuss the things couples can do to get both of their needs met so they can have a fulfilling marriage.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.

We often do things in our marriages that have profound impacts without even recognizing we are doing them. Sometimes we do them unintentionally, and other times intentionally. When it comes to our kids, it is not uncommon for spouses to prioritize their kids over their relationship with their spouse. This can, of course, have a big impact on the relationship.Join us for this episode where we talk about the ways couples can put their marriage first to have a much better relationship!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.
