Why does passion fade in marriage, and what can you actually do about it? 💔

In this episode of the Sex & Bacon Podcast, host Sarah sits down with Dr. Diane Mueller, a leading sexologist, educator, and doctor, to break down why sex often dwindles in long-term relationships and how couples can reignite desire, intimacy, and connection.

You’ll learn:
✅ The difference between “normal” vs. “common” sex patterns in marriage
✅ How male vs. female arousal cycles really work (and why that matters)
✅ The role of hormones, stress, and habits in your sex drive
✅ Why communication is the missing link for most couples
✅ Practical tools to reignite intimacy and keep passion alive

Dr. Mueller also shares free resources to help couples deepen intimacy:

Whether you’re married, dating, or simply curious about sexual wellness, this conversation will give you real tools to understand desire, strengthen communication, and make sex better with time, not worse.
