The Real Reason Marriages Lose Their Spark

In this conversation with Dr. Nivedita, we unpack a topic most couples struggle with but rarely discuss openly, intimacy. We explore why low libido is often misunderstood, how emotional connection drives desire (especially in women), and why it’s not always about hormones. We also break down common relationship patterns that slowly reduce closeness and what couples can do to rebuild it.
