How to Get Out of a Relationship Rut with Mark and Amanda Testa

Find Your Feminine Fire

In this episode of 'Find Your Feminine Fire,' My husband Mark and I dive into the usual issues couples deal with, like feeling distant, having different sex drives, and lacking emotional closeness. We open up about their own experiences and offer real-life tips to dodge these problems, keep the intimacy alive, and bring back the spark in long-term relationships.

We also talk about why sexual health, good communication, and taking care of yourself are so important. The episode highlights how being creative and putting in effort are key to keeping a loving and lively relationship.

Key Takeaways from this Episode:

• Staying Connected Takes Work: Relationships can easily fall into routine and disconnection, especially with busy schedules and life transitions. It’s crucial to actively work on staying connected with your partner through regular communication, shared activities, and quality time together.

• Alone Time is Essential: Finding alone time as a couple, even when life is hectic, is vital. This could mean getting creative with scheduling or finding small moments to be together without distractions, such as morning coffee talks, walks, or even just hanging out in the kitchen.

• Communication About Sexual Health: Open communication about sexual health issues like mismatched libidos or erectile dysfunction is important. These topics can carry shame but addressing them together can lead to finding solutions and strengthening your relationship.

• Balancing Parenthood and Partnership: Balancing being parents and partners is challenging, especially when children are at home more often. It’s important to find ways to maintain your relationship, such as setting boundaries with children about needing adult alone time and involving them in understanding the importance of a healthy relationship.

• Intentional Screen-Free Time: Reducing phone and screen time, especially during moments meant for connection, can significantly improve the quality of your interactions. Consider having electronic-free zones, like the bedroom, and leaving phones behind during dates or walks to stay present with each other.
