The Real Reason Sex Started to Feel Off - with John (Part 2) | Ep. 157

In Part 2 of John’s story , he shares how he met his wife online and how quickly their relationship progressed. They moved in together almost immediately, and he describes their sex life early on as “frequent, enjoyable, and exciting.” But over time, the honeymoon phase faded. Their sexual connection began to feel like something they should do, rather than something they wanted to do. Even though they shared a deep emotional bond, John started questioning whether he was in the right relationship. He made efforts to reignite the spark—planning date nights, giving massages, even trying to schedule intimacy—but the distance between them only grew as he gradually pulled away. Sensing the shift, his wife suggested they listen to some of Janna’s podcasts together. That led them to join Doing It Together , and for John, it was eye-opening. He began to recognize how deeply cultural conditioning had shaped both of their experiences. He now understands that “fixing” their sex life isn’t just about physical connection—it’s about healing and growing together on multiple levels. Sign up for Janna's brand new workshop on Jan. 15.
