EP428. Vanessa Marin, LMFT and her husband, Xander are the authors of Sex Talks: The Five Conversations That Will Transform Your Love Life. One common issue that comes up in marriage post-baby is a lack of intimacy and a loss of connection. We think sex should happen spontaneously and naturally, and that we shouldn't need to do anything to feel desire. It often does feel that way in the beginning of relationships, meaning that couples never have meaningful conversations about sex, what turns them on, what they need to feel connected, or learn how to navigate sexual conflict effectively. So when the honeymoon phase wears off, and the spark dims, couples are left feeling lost if their sex life doesn't live up to what it used to be. In this Episode, Vanessa and Xander help us discover what type of sex drive, sex personality type, and initiation style you have, and then they get into the five essential conversations that every romantic couple should have.RENEE REINAwww.themomroom.comInstagram: @themomroompodcast | @thereneereinaTikTok: @thereneereinaFacebook CommunityYoutube: Renee Reina- The Mom Room PodcastVANESSA & XANDERInstagram: @vanessaandxanderSPONSORS:Little Spoon.ginger + dandelion.
