#279: How We Keep Intimacy Alive in Our Marriage with Kids and Business

Listen to this episode from The Awake With Jake Show on Spotify. Keeping intimacy alive in marriage is not always easy, especially when you are raising kids and running a business together. Most couples drift into survival mode where passion fades, connection weakens, and the relationship starts to feel more like a partnership than a romance. In this video my wife Melissa and I share the raw truth about what it actually takes to keep desire, playfulness, and emotional closeness alive in the middle of real life responsibilities. We talk about the masculine and feminine dynamics that make a marriage thrive, how we create space for intimacy even with kids and work pulling at our attention, and the practices that have kept us deeply connected. Whether you are married with kids, building a business, or just preparing for the future, this conversation will show you how to strengthen your bond, avoid the roommate phase, and keep the fire burning for years to come.
