Hey friend—deep breath. This one might challenge you a little, but it’s too important not to say: Your s*x life is a barometer for the health of your marriage.

Now, before you panic—we’re not saying it’s the only barometer or even the most important one all the time. But it is a highly revealing one. In today’s episode of The Road to Happiness Podcast, Josh & Cassie are digging into Chapter 8 of their book Feeling Sexy: A Christian Woman’s Guide to Sexual Confidence & Desire—and we’re talking all about the powerful link between intimacy and marital stability.

Because here’s the truth: s*x—or the lack of it—is never just about the act itself. It reflects emotional maturity, communication patterns, trust, safety, and connection. In short, your s*x life mirrors the state of your union.

But the good news? If you’re noticing gaps, struggles, or distance… that awareness is the first step toward healing and reconnection.

In this episode, Josh (certified Christian s*x therapist) and Cassie unpack:

  • Why a struggling s*x life is often a symptom of deeper issues—not the root
  • How healthy, emotional intimacy leads to more satisfying s*xual intimacy
    Steps you can take today to begin healing the emotional + physical disconnect
  • Why communication, maturity, and intentionality are the foundation of a divorce-proof marriage

Key Takeaways:

  • A thriving s*x life isn’t about performance—it’s about emotional connection
  • S*xual disconnection often signals unspoken pain or unresolved tension
  • Rebuilding your intimate life can strengthen your marriage in every area
  • There’s hope, healing, and help for every marriage willing to grow

No matter where your marriage stands today—whether your s*x life feels vibrant or it's non-existent —there is always room to grow, reconnect, and heal. God designed your intimacy to be life-giving, not guilt-ridden. Your best days of connection may still be ahead. So don’t give up, friend. There’s hope, and you’re not alone on this journey. ❤️ We're cheering you on as you Mature into True Happiness!
