Why Does Sex Stop After Marriage?

When the wedding’s over and real life kicks in, it’s so common for sex to shift — sometimes fast. In this throwback live show, Dr. Emily tackles the myth that marriage equals the end of your sex life, and breaks down how to bring back that “honeymoon energy” without forcing it or turning intimacy into another chore. Emily shares a simple framework for staying connected long-term (including her idea of “sex vows”), then takes calls from listeners navigating a sudden post-marriage libido drop and the emotional whiplash of being single while everyone around you is getting engaged. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why desire often drops after commitment — and how to address it before resentment builds • Practical ways to revive novelty and reconnect (including “sex vows” you can actually use) • How to handle the pressure and loneliness when it feels like everyone else is getting married More Dr. Emily: • Shop With Emily!
