Why do so many good marriages struggle with intimacy?
In this episode of the Naked Sunday Podcast, Caleb Nelson sits down with marriage and intimacy coach Dan Purcell to talk about why strong relationships often hit a wall when it comes to sex, communication, and connection.
Dan shares his personal story of growing up in a conservative environment, having a great marriage on paper, and realizing there was a whole deeper level of intimacy he and his wife were never taught to explore. That discovery didn’t just improve their sex life, it improved their communication, health, confidence, and overall happiness.
This conversation goes beyond techniques and talks about the patterns that keep couples stuck, including people-pleasing, fear of conflict, and losing yourself inside the relationship.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Why intimacy struggles are more common than people admit
• How avoiding conflict quietly kills connection
• The difference between codependence and healthy partnership
• Why sexual conflict can be an invitation to grow
• How personal growth impacts attraction and desire
• What it takes to build long-term passion in marriage
