Sex, Marriage, and Making Room to Improve Your Relationship with Jessa Zimmerman

by | May 21, 2020 | Podcasts

Is sex really an important aspect of a relationship? And how often is often enough? 

Your immediate response might be: “Heck yeah, Tracey! It is!” Some of you may be thinking—it’s important but not all the time! Once, maybe twice a week and you’re good. Still, many of you don’t regularly engage in sex and your relationships are satisfying and fulfilling without it. 

But what do you do when your sex life isn’t what it used to be—or how you want it to be—and it’s become a problem in your relationship or your marriage? 

Can you fix it? 

Are there professionals who can help you?

Can a marriage survive issues in the bedroom? 

Yes, yes, and yes! 

Today’s guest is Jessa Zimmerman, a licensed couples’ counselor and a nationally certified sex therapist in Seattle, Washington. Jessa is the author of Sex Without Stress, the host of the Better Sex Podcast, and is a regularly featured expert in the media, including Marriage.com, Mind Body Green, Refinery29, and Business Insider. 

While so many couples talk in circles—fighting about sex or avoiding it altogether—Jessa believes that there are ways to avoid those blunders and work together to create your best possible sex life, increase your relationship satisfaction, reduce your stress level, free up energy for the things you want to do together, and make you excited to go to bed. 

I’m thrilled to dive in with Jessa in today’s episode.
