About this episode

Emily's marriage began to crack under the stress of a physical intimacy struggle that started on her wedding night. As the challenge continued for years, she felt increasingly lonely, misunderstood, and broken. Her husband's patience was real, but so was the toll this hardship was taking on both of them, and eventually, his anger felt like a wall she couldn't push through. She spent nights alone in her room feeling so disconnected from him. She knew she hadn't chosen this, but the guilt settled in anyway.

When divorce came onto the table, Emily dove headfirst into something she had never tried before.

Today, Emily's marriage is playful, fun, and safe. Her husband has opened up and recently told her their marriage is the best it has ever been. They dance in the kitchen, and their love life is passionate and thriving. 

If you feel as though your husband has shut down and the distance between you has become impossible to bridge, Emily's story will show you there is a way through.
