Are you unintentionally sabotaging your relationship or losing your libido without knowing why? In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Emily Jamea to talk about the subtle, unsexy habits that can quietly destroy emotional and physical intimacy in long-term relationships. These aren’t dramatic blow-ups or obvious red flags but small, everyday behaviors that slowly build walls between you and your partner. We unpacked why these habits form, how they affect your connection over time, and what you can do to turn things around. If you’ve been feeling distant, disconnected, or stuck in a rut, this conversation offers real, practical ways to reignite desire and rebuild closeness. Whether you’re in a committed relationship or just want to better understand how to keep love and passion alive, this video is a powerful starting point.
