Sex is meant to connect, not divide.

In Episode 255 of The Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra tackle a difficult but crucial topic: what happens when physical intimacy in marriage feels disconnected, obligatory, or even adversarial. Instead of fostering closeness, the bedroom becomes a source of resentment, pressure, or avoidance, and both spouses feel the distance.

We explore:

  • How unresolved conflict spills over into the bedroom.
  • The emotional cost of duty-driven intimacy.
  • Why pressure and performance kill connection.
  • Biblical truth about intimacy as a reflection of love and unity.
  • Practical ways to rebuild trust, desire, and safety in your physical relationship.

If sex has become a source of stress instead of joy in your marriage, this episode will help you address the root issues and take steps toward restoration.
