When life gets busy, intimacy can easily become something couples only think about when they're having sex. In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD introduces the concept of intimacy dates: intentional time set aside to cultivate emotional, sensual, physical, and erotic connection without the pressure or expectation that it has to lead to sex. Alexandra explains why decoupling intimacy from sex creates more safety, relaxation, playfulness, and desire, and shares practical ideas for creating intimacy dates that fit your relationship, energy levels, and personality. She also explains how these small, consistent moments of connection can have a compounding effect, creating more tenderness, vulnerability, and joy in your marriage. 50 Ideas for Intimacy Dates: alexandrastockwell.com/ideas Subscribe To The Intimate Marriage Podcast: Apple Podcast | YouTube | Spotify Connect With Alexandra Stockwell, MD: Website | LinkedIn | Instagram Get your copy of “Uncompromising Intimacy” by Alexandra Stockwell, MD here: https://amzn.to/2ymI3Hl Download the first chapter of Alexandra Stockwell, MD’s bestselling book, “Uncompromising Intimacy,” here: https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/book Cultivate your intimacy skills (without compromise) in Aligned & Hot Marriage, Alexandra Stockwell, MD’s proven method for smart couples ready to love more fully: www.alignedhotmarriage.com Join Alexandra Stockwell, MD’s email list to stay connected.
