    Rebuilding Intimacy Through Vulnerability

    Mejor cita de Rebuilding Intimacy Through Vulnerability

    “

    Intimacy requires vulnerability. When we stop being emotionally open with our partner, physical intimacy often disappears too; it's like we build protective walls that keep out both hurt and pleasure.

    ”

    Pregunta de entrada

    My wife and I had beautiful sex while we were dating, but after 9 years of marriage our sex life has dropped off to zero. To me she is invulnerable, meaning there is no vulnerability in her. I believe without vulnerability there can be no sexual connection. Please help me reconnect with my beloved wife
