What Nobody Tells You About Sex & Intimacy with Your Spouse in Your 50s & 60s (Part 2)

In early marriage, intimacy is effortless. You don't have to plan it, think about it, or work at it. Midlife is a different story, and in this episode, Zane and I get honest about sex and intimacy after 50. Zane and I talk honestly about the real challenges of intimacy in midlife, from menopause and hormones to feeling attractive and getting out of a rut. From there, we get into what men really find attractive in their wives, why confidence matters so much, and how taking care of yourself changes the way you show up in your marriage. After nearly forty years together, Zane and I don't have all the answers. But we've learned that intimacy isn't about looking like you did at twenty-five. It's about choosing each other, respecting each other, and making room for this part of your relationship to keep growing.   **WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE:** - Why intimacy changes in your 50s and 60s, and why it can become more meaningful than ever - My honest experience with hormone replacement therapy and what changed when I found my balance.
