    EP10 - Sex after infidelity: Getting past the pain and images in my head. Working around headaches, stomach issues & how Scheduling Sex is Sexy!

    Send us a text Seventeen years ago, the fabric of our marriage was torn by an act of infidelity. Through this podcast, we share the intimate and often unspoken journey of rekindling the sexual and emotional connection that was threatened by this betrayal. We reflect candidly on the rollercoaster of emotions, from the false sense of repair in the aftermath of makeup sex to the genuine healing that arises through communication, faith, and laughter. Navigating the rough waters of a post-infidelity relationship, we peel back the curtain on the delicate dance of trust and vulnerability. Our experience has taught us that the path to recovery isn't always straight, and the complexities of emotional ties to intimacy differ for each partner. By sharing our own narrative, we aim to inspire open dialogue in your relationships, recognizing that it's not about assigning blame but about growing stronger together. We wrap up with a message that's part pep talk, part practical advice: "Remix Your Marriage" is more than just a catchy phrase; it's a call to action for all couples to share, listen, and laugh as a way of fostering connection and intimacy. Whether it's embracing the seemingly unromantic "scheduling sex" or finding solace in the shared experiences of friends, our discussion is an invitation to breathe new life into your partnership. Join us in discovering how vulnerability can become the catalyst for a reinvigorated, loving bond that thrives in the face of life's greatest challenges.
