30 分钟Today, we are talking about something that so many couples silently struggle with, and that is intimacy pressure.
And we're not just talking about sex.
I mean, we're talking about emotional safety.
We're talking about what happens when couples start feeling disconnected around their intimacy.
One person can start feeling rejected, lonely, unwanted.
While the other person feels overwhelmed, anxious, and like they're not enough.
And the hardest part is that usually both people are hurting
at the exact same time and they don't know how to come together.
So today we're talking about how couples accidentally start these pressure cycles
and how emotional safety leaves their relationship and they both begin to feel resentful.
And we also, of course, share our own story because we've lived both sides of this.
So if intimacy has begun to feel heavy, avoidant,
and create conflict, we're going to help you understand today exactly why that's happening.
And next week in part two, we're going to be really talking
about how couples can rebuild intimacy, connection, emotional safety without the pressure.
So let's get into it.
Hello all and welcome to the Relationship Renovation Podcast.

And this is a great topic because one, it's one that we really have worked through ourselves over years.
