236. Why Long-Term Marriages Require Reinvention

Is it possible for a long-term marriage to become more fulfilling over time, better than the early years of dating and the newlywed phase? (We're talking all aspects of marriage, including sex!)

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Drs. Alexandra and Rodd Stockwell share their real-life journey through many phases of their marriage—from tending small children, to the early years of demanding careers, to a deeper, more connected relationship in midlife.

Through honest communication and shared effort, they prove that lasting love is something you can cultivate and lean into, as opposed to letting the spark fade away.

Their heartfelt stories and practical tips will help your relationship grow stronger and improve over time too.
