What if the problem isn’t how often you’re having sex — but how present you are when you’re together?
In this episode of Relationship Renovation, EJ and Tarah Kerwin sit down with Dan Purcell, intimacy educator, founder of Get Your Marriage On, and host of the podcast by the same name. Together, they explore what Dan calls “Eyes Open Intimacy” — a way of approaching sexual and emotional connection that prioritizes presence, safety, and genuine attunement over performance or obligation.
This honest, vulnerable conversation dives into why many couples feel disconnected even when they’re having sex, how anxiety and shame show up in the bedroom, and why true intimacy begins before anything physical happens.
Dan shares powerful insights from his own marriage and years of coaching couples, offering practical tools that help partners slow down, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect in ways that feel safe and meaningful.
