296: [Personal Story] Our six year drought is over

In this episode of the Better Sex Podcast, host and sex therapist Jessa Zimmerman welcomes a former student who shares his personal journey of overcoming years of intimacy struggles in his marriage. The guest recounts how early retirement and his wife's menopause led to a five-year period of no sexual contact, deteriorating communication, and his eventual realization of the depth of his wife's unhappiness. He discusses the transformative impact of joining Jess’s program, which guided him to listen actively, practice mindfulness, and change his behavior. The episode provides a heartfelt exploration of how vulnerability, patience, and open-hearted communication can lead to profound relationship improvements, culminating in a complete turnaround in their sex life and emotional connection.00:00 Introduction to Better Sex Podcast00:45 A Personal Story of Struggles and Triumphs02:16 The Beginning of the Journey04:50 Facing the Reality of Intimacy Issues06:00 The Turning Point: Joining the Program08:00 Transformative Changes and New Insights11:08 Deepening Communication and Understanding14:45 The Impact of Active Listening18:28 Overcoming Challenges Together23:08 Reflecting on the Journey and Moving Forward24:58 Discovering the Exit Plan25:18 Slow Progress and Patience29:04 Positive Shifts in the Relationship35:18 A Dramatic Change44:33 Advice for Others in Similar Situations46:58 Conclusion and GratitudeWant to inspire and help others by sharing your story anonymously?
