    Ditch Date Night: Why Scheduled Romance Won't Build Intimacy

    We’ve been told that date night is the cure for everything. Disconnected? Date night.Not having sex? Date night.Feeling like roommates? Definitely date night. But what if date night isn’t the problem - and was never the solution? In this episode we're going to talk about why a once a month night out isn't intimacy - it's performance, and performance doesn't build connection and never builds safety. I break down: Why scheduled romance can actually increase pressure How “checking the box” slowly erodes real connection The difference between shared experiences and actual intimacy Why sex doesn’t flow naturally from forced fun What to build instead if you want a marriage that feels alive Intimacy is not built in restaurants.It’s built in everyday interactions, emotional safety, shared play, honest communication, and the kind of connection that doesn’t turn on and off with a reservation time. If you’ve been doing date night faithfully but still feel disconnected, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Maybe it’s time to ditch date night — and build something better.

    Marriage without Play Feels Like Work: Why Creative Intimacy is Essential to Marriage ft. Nicola Hughes

    When did your marriage start feeling like a to-do list? Laundry. Logistics. Parenting. Work. Bills. Repeat. (And WHY do these people need to eat every single day!?) Somewhere along the way, creativity quietly packed its bags — and without it, intimacy starts to feel like just another obligation. In this episode, we’re talking about why creativity isn’t childish… it’s foundational. We unpack how couples drift into “roommate mode,” why creativity and recreation are essential types of intimacy, and how laughter, flirting, and shared fun actually protect your sex life. Because here’s the truth: If your marriage feels like work, your bedroom eventually will too. You’ll walk away with practical ways to reintroduce creativity — even if you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or feeling disconnected. Marriage isn’t meant to be managed.It’s meant to be enjoyed. Go have good sex. ✨✨✨ Resources for the episode: Andrea Nelson Art

    You're Here, But You're Not With Me ft Nicole Lee, LMFT

    In this episode I chat with Nicole Lee, LMFT to unpack what’s actually happening when social media, online gaming, or constant scrolling starts to feel like emotional distance inside a relationship. Drawing from Nicole’s doctoral research, this conversation explores how perceived partner escapism—not just screen time—can significantly impact relationship satisfaction. Her study found that when one partner perceives the other as using social or interactive media to escape, relationship satisfaction drops by more than 22%. This episode isn’t about demonizing phones or shaming habits. It’s about perception, meaning-making, and emotional presence—and why couples often fight about time when the real issue is disconnection. We discuss: What escapism actually is and how it shows up in modern marriages Why perception matters more than minutes spent scrolling How social media and other forms of escapism impact intimacy and conflict Why men and women often experience and report relationship satisfaction differently How mental load, emotional labor, and “pphubbing” fuel resentment Practical ways couples can replace the scroll with real connection If you’ve ever felt ignored, deprioritized, or like your spouse is emotionally somewhere else—even when they’re right next to you—this episode will help you name what’s happening and start repairing connection without blame or shame. Because presence isn’t about being in the same room.It’s about being with each other.

    If You Can't Talk About Sex, Sex Will Always Feel Hard

    Talking about sex shouldn't feel scarier than the act itself - but for many couples, it does. In this solo episode, I explore why sexual communication feels so difficult for so many married couples, especially those shaped by silence, shame, or “don’t ask, don’t tell” messages around intimacy. If you love your spouse but freeze, fight, or shut down when sex comes up, this episode is for you. You’ll learn why avoiding these conversations doesn’t protect your relationship, how emotional safety impacts desire, and where to start if you’ve never talked about sex before—without pressure or overwhelm. This episode is especially for couples who want deeper connection but don’t know how to begin the conversation.

    Understanding Sex Avoidance in Marriage

    When a woman consistently avoids sex in marriage, she is accused of rebellion, sin, manipulation, or blamed for all manner of things. In this episode, I unpack one of the foundations of my work: Healthy women, in safe marriages, don't turn down good sex for no reason. Rather than placing blame, or spiritualizing obligation, let's frame sex avoidance as what it really is: Information. Your body is offering you data about safety, pleasure, pressure, and connection. Let's talk about what "healthy" actually means, why safety is so much more than "he doesn't hit me," and how unwanted or not pleasurable sex will eventually destroy a libido. I'm all about challenging lazy theology, entitlement disguised as reverent faith, and inviting couples to replace pressure with curiosity. If you've ever lamented the disappearance your desire, or felt ashamed for a body that never experienced sex the way it was "supposed to" - this episode is for you. Because the goal of marriage isn't sex at any cost.It is intimacy that invites sex worth wanting.

    The High of the Chase: Limerence, Nostalgia, & Emotional Escape ft Amanda McCracken

    Have you ever felt emotionally attached to someone you weren’t actually in a relationship with? Or caught yourself romanticizing a past connection—while feeling dissatisfied in your current one? In this episode, Angela sits down with journalist and author Amanda McCracken to talk about limerence—an intense state of longing that can masquerade as love, but often thrives on fantasy, distance, and emotional safety rather than real intimacy. As part of her research for When Longing Becomes Your Lover, Amanda revisited old letters and memorabilia from past relationships and noticed how nostalgia reignited emotional attachment—even showing up in her dreams. Together, Angela and Amanda explore how longing for the past, parasocial relationships, and modern romantic fantasy can quietly undermine present-day connection, including marriage. This conversation is not about shame or fear—it’s about awareness, naming what’s happening in our inner worlds, and choosing presence over fantasy. In this episode, we discuss: What limerence is—and how it differs from love, attraction, or commitment How nostalgia rewrites the past and fuels dissatisfaction in the present The rise of BookTok, romantasy, and parasocial relationships Why fantasy relationships require no vulnerability or accountability How limerence can exist inside marriage—even “good” marriages How Purity Culture contributed to longing & limerence Practical ways to disrupt limerence without shaming yourself If this episode feels uncomfortable or hits close to home, that doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It may simply mean something important is being named for the first time. Gentle note to listeners: If this episode feels uncomfortable or hits close to home, that doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It may simply mean something important is being named for the first time. About our guest Amanda McCracken is an award-winning journalist and the author of When Longing Becomes Your Lover. Her work explores limerence, longing, dating culture, and emotional vulnerability in a world shaped by fantasy and avoidance. You can learn more about Amanda and her book in the links below. Want more support? If you’re noticing unexplained dissatisfaction in your marriage or struggling to stay present in your relationship, Angela offers coaching and tools designed to help couples build real, sustainable intimacy—emotional, spiritual, and sexual.

    Kingdom Marriage & Fair Play Ft Erin Pritchard, MA, LPCC-S

    In this season finale of Go Have Good Sex, Angela sits down with Erin Pritchard for a powerful conversation on the Fair Play method, the mental load, and how emotional labor shapes the health—and heat—of a marriage. If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the invisible weight of planning, remembering, and managing everything, this episode will feel like someone finally turned the lights on. Erin breaks down what true partnership looks like, why “helping out” isn’t the same as sharing the load, and how redistributing responsibilities creates more peace, connection, and yes… better intimacy. We also tackle the pushback Christian women often hear:“That’s just secular thinking wrapped in Christian language.”(Spoiler: wanting a fair, balanced marriage is both biblical and beautiful.) As we close out Season 1, thank you for being part of these honest, healing, and sometimes spicy conversations. Get ready—Season 2 drops January 2026, and we’re coming back with even more truth, humor, and tools to help you build a marriage full of connection, joy, and good sex. Until then… Go Have Good Sex.
