127. Increase Sexual Passion and Connection by Identifying the Challenges You're Facing

The sexual connection we really want for our marriage can often get hijacked by our histories, hurts, and misunderstandings.

For blended family couples, trying to navigate these challenges is often complex and disheartening — even if some of our hang-ups seem typical for any marriage.

Our sexual connection has endured a variety of barriers over the past couple of decades.  There have been seasons where we've been in sync and genuinely connected.  In other seasons, we've been distant and the passion seemed like it was drying up.

As we look back over the years, we've identified that there were significant challenges we faced .  And even in the most disheartening seasons — it wasn't the end of our love affair.  Our passion has been revived many times.

In this episode, we're sharing some of our personal hang-ups and some obstacles we've had to overcome.

You'll Discover:

• Common challenges that create disconnection and decreased passion
• Specific obstacles that blended family couples face around sex
• Why it's important to identify and work through your challenges - and how you can get started today to increase connection and passion in your marriage
