This is a topic that Mark and I cover a lot in our book No More Perfect Marriages and in our coaching with other couples. The good news is that you are not powerless or stuck in the past! You can move beyond it and experience true intimacy in your marriage and relationships.In this episode, I’m joined by my husband, Mark, and our friends, Joe & Tara Buchanan.
