Description

What if the very struggles in your marriage — especially around sex and intimacy — are the fuel for growth?


In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Corey Allen (PhD, licensed marriage and family therapist, and host of Sexy Marriage Radio), we explore the deeper side of marital intimacy. Drawing on the Crucible Model of Dr. David Schnarch, Corey unpacks how true connection is built when two people hold onto themselves and the relationship — even in the most vulnerable areas of sex, desire, and closeness.


In this episode of Marriage IQ you’ll learn:

✅ How to balance individuality and togetherness in marriage

✅ Why sexual struggles can actually become catalysts for growth

✅ What “fusion” is — and why it can stifle intimacy

✅ How to build erotic energy without losing yourself

✅ Practical insights from Corey’s decades of work with couples and his own marriage journey

This is a candid, hope-filled conversation about what it takes to create not just a good marriage, but a vibrant one — where intimacy, identity, and insight come together.
