***Listener Discretion is advised***

A single word can change how we see marriage. “Yada” became a pop punchline, but in Hebrew it means to know—an embodied, tender intimacy that God designed to be joyful, mutual, and deeply bonding. We open the door to that richer meaning and look honestly at why so many couples slide from soulmates into roommates when sex turns into an afterthought.

We share research that places a happy sex life near the top of marital satisfaction and shine a light on the rise of sexless marriages. Through vivid, relatable stories—a husband who fears disappointing his wife, a mom running on empty, a man facing unexpected ED, a wife navigating resurfaced trauma—we show how desire gaps form and why shame, stress, and screens so often crowd out closeness. Along the way, we ground the conversation in Scripture, from Genesis to Song of Solomon, and affirm that pleasure is not a guilty extra but a feature of God’s design: mutual, honoring, and good.

You’ll hear practical ways to reconnect: protect privacy, trade doomscrolling for devoted time, share desires without pressure, kiss like you mean it, and make the daily load fair so desire can breathe. We also talk candidly about pornography, resentment, and how vulnerability—not performance—builds lasting bond. Think of this as part one of a deeper journey; next we’ll unpack the emotional and relational impact of a sexless marriage and how to rebuild with care.

If this conversation helps, share it with a friend, subscribe for the next installment, and leave a review so more couples can find it. What’s one small change you’ll make this week to move from roommates back to soulmates?
