So many couples have a partner wanting more in sex and another who is battling pain or intense emotion keeping them from opening up. We talk about relaxing into sex, breathing into it, and working through pain whether physical or emotional.

Does it feel like you or your partner is "allergic" to emotion? You avoid anything to not feel the bad emotions, so you definitely don't want to sit down with your spouse and talk about these feelings. You aren't alone. Today, we dive into avoiding emotions and what happens when we do.

Postpartum is often a difficult experience on its own, add it to a season of pain and it can take a toll on a person. Katie and Chris opened up about their relationship after battling health issues and a season of loss. They shared moments of vulnerability in how they remained connected and what it felt like to be in a body that wasn't functioning at its usual capacity. 

After we have been hurt our instinct may want to hurt someone back. We have it sit and make the decision of if we are going to quickly forgive and move on or make them wait even if it prolongs a fight. One of you ultimately has to choose to move forward even if it isn't easy. So, we break the emotions down of how that feels and what it looks like to work through it.
