What Couples Over 50 Struggle With Most [Ep. #351]
What happens to love when your bodies change, attraction changes, and the relationship you've built has been going for decades?
In this episode of Love Life & Legacy, Andrew sits down with Marilyn to talk honestly about intimacy, attraction, and staying connected in a long-term marriage.
Marilyn shares from her own experience of being married for decades and how she and her husband learned to navigate changing attraction, hormonal changes, physical difficulties, and the emotional challenges that can come with getting older. The conversation challenges the idea that intimacy simply disappears with age.
Sometimes it changes.
And when it does, couples can learn how to create a new phase of love together. That can mean communicating more openly, making intentional time for each other, understanding each other's needs, and continuing to be curious about the person you've been married to for years.
