What happens when intimacy becomes routine instead of connection?

In this episode of Eden Restored, Dr. Stacy and Rhonda Spencer talk honestly about how couples get stuck "on script", treating sex like an escalator instead of a shared, vulnerable experience. They explore desire, agency, emotional safety, and how to reimagine lovemaking with vision, freedom, and real connection.
