Do you ever look back and wonder… what happened to the romance?

When you were dating, it seemed so natural—the late-night talks, the thoughtful gestures, the spark of being pursued. But somewhere along the way, after the relationship felt secure, life got busy. Careers, kids, and responsibilities took over, and the pursuit faded.

And with it, sometimes desire will fade too.

This week on AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I’m sharing the final bonus episode of my sex series: “What Happened to the Romance?” We’ll unpack:

  • Why romance feels so effortless during dating but fades after marriage
  • How cultural and gender assumptions fuel disconnection
  • Simple, powerful ways to rekindle pursuit and spark desire again

I’ll also share some exciting news about my newest certification as an Adventures in Marriage instructor—because sometimes the bravest thing we can do is start a courageous conversation and get someone on our team to help us find the way forward.

If you’ve been feeling the distance, this episode is for you. Press play on your drive home, during your workout, or while you fold the laundry—you’ll walk away with both clarity and hope.

And if this series has been meaningful, would you take a minute to leave a review? It helps other couples who are searching for hope to find this podcast.

I’m a marriage coach who helps women and couples turn a disconnected, lonely marriage into something deeply connected—sometimes even better than they imagined was possible. We start by gently exploring what you truly want in your marriage—because let’s be honest, it’s probably been a while since you’ve let yourself dream about what could be. From there, we create a path forward toward the kind of relationship you long for.

If you’re feeling sad, stuck, or unsure about what’s next, I’d love to talk with you. Book a Courageous Love Conversation Inquiry Call, and let’s have an honest, hope-filled conversation about what’s going on and what it might look like to begin creating something new—starting from exactly where you are.
