Passion and Intimacy, Post-Children (Part II of II)
For many couples, passion and intimacy (and sex!) change after you have children. Time, lack of sleep, and other factors impact the sex lives of post-children couples. Is this just a fact of life or can you still have a passion-filled life with your partner after having children?
Today’s episode (Part II of II) is all about sex ... well, passion and intimacy and reconnecting with your partner — after you have children. Listen in as DJ interviews licensed clinical social worker and AASECT certified sex therapist, Kristin Hodson.
