In this episode Mark and Steve openly discuss the differences between healthy and toxic sex in marriage—

• What are the differences between a healthy sex drive and a lust/fantasy focus in marriage? 
• You can trigger the "addiction cycle" or the "connection cycle" through the sexual relationship in your marriage—which one do you want?
• What do you know if you're engaging in "lust" or "healthy attraction"? 
• How lust can be a "poison" in the bedroom. 
• How your spouse can be a "lust trigger" and why "toxic sex" is possible in marriage. 
• When it comes to healthy physical intimacy—"intention" is EVERYTHING!
• Great sex is all about what you do OUTSIDE the bedroom and then bring with you into that setting.

Who doesn't want to feel sexier and have a better sex life?! I'm sure everyone does...but it can be difficult to actually know how to go about doing that. We uncover how in today's episode with special guest and certified sex therapist Dr. Laurie Watson.

Can you say you’re always honest with your sexual partner about the connection you share? According to Dr. Watson, something like “95% of couples having sex aren’t talking about their experiences in ways that add to their experiences in a meaningful way.” 

In this podcast episode, understand what you may be missing out in connecting with your spouse on a physical and emotional level.  Explore what physical and emotional intervention looks like. Couples can learn how to talk about what they like and don’t like both from an emotional and physical standpoint. 

Are you a pursuer or do you withdraw either sexually or emotionally? Understanding your needs and your reactions in situations is the first key to feeling sexier in a healthy, loving relationship.
