Exhaustion, Distraction, or Disconnection?

Is your sex life actually about hormones… or is something deeper going on?

In this first episode of our Reclaiming the Bedroom series, Dr. Dani and Rich unpack what’s really sabotaging intimacy in modern marriages — and why it’s rarely just “low libido.”

We’re talking about:

• Why exhaustion is killing desire more than age
• How stress and cortisol suppress intimacy
• The nervous system connection to libido
• Distraction, screens, and dopamine overload
• Why emotional safety drives physical desire
• How resentment quietly erodes attraction
• The difference between hormone problems and habit problems
• Why intimacy is a barometer for the whole marriage

Modern couples are overstimulated, under-rested, under-connected — and wondering why passion feels distant.

This episode lays the groundwork for restoring intimacy without shame, blame, or gimmicks. Because the bedroom isn’t just about sex — it’s about covenant, connection, and nervous system safety.

📖 Scripture Reference:
“Let marriage be held in honor among all…” — Hebrews 13:4 (AMP)

When we restore rhythm, protect our nervous systems, and steward intimacy intentionally, desire becomes sustainable — not forced.

This is Part 1 of the Reclaiming the Bedroom series.

Up next: A deep dive into men, testosterone, and the male nervous system.
