The 5 Stages of Your Sexual Relationship with Dan Purcell
Description
What if the best sex of your life is still ahead of you?
In this episode, Sofia revisits a favourite conversation from the Sex After Kids Summit with Dan Purcell, founder of Get Your Marriage On. Together, they explore the five stages a sexual relationship can move through, from the excitement of newness and the reality of maintenance sex to novelty, deeper meaning and complete surrender.
They talk about why having kids can shake couples out of sexual complacency, how to recognize the season you’re currently in and why maintenance sex doesn’t have to become your forever.
In this episode:
- The five stages of a sexual relationship
- Why routines form and how couples get stuck in them
- When maintenance sex works and when it stops working
- Bringing novelty back into a long-term relationship
- Creating deeper, more vulnerable sexual connection
- Why sex can become better and more meaningful with age
- Building a private space for fun, play and pleasure within your relationship
Your sex life will change as your relationship, family and bodies change. That evolution doesn’t mean the best is behind you. With curiosity, new skills and a willingness to keep choosing each other, it may still be ahead.
