The Disconnected Marriage. Couples Therapy with Nikki and Russel. Part 1

Please click HERE to fill out our listener survey I want to introduce you to the second couple in our COUPLES THERAPY PODCAST...Nikki and Russel are a young couple who are feeling disconnected emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Coming into marriage, they had some different expectations - and hadn't talked in depth about what to expect. Their false expectations, specifically around sex and marriage, came from the church and purity culture. When they got into marriage and things didn't match what they expected - they didn't know what to do. Their wedding night didn't go as planned, and they have been truly struggling every since. And so, they've avoided intimacy every since - physically, emotionally, and even spiritually. In today's episode they reveal a big secret they've never shared with anyone...and now they are here, trying again, wanting to heal and see if there's a way to reconnect in their marriage on every level and deal with the big secret.
