Welcome to the second episode of the Simple Marriage Podcast.
In this episode we dive further into the idea’s discussed in our first episode about sexual desire differences, but come at it from a different angle.
Today we discuss the idea of wanting and being wanted.
Yep, there’s still a lot of talk about sex and intimacy.
Yep, I try to answer some of the comments left from our first podcast.
Yep, I am looking forward to the discussion this may generate.
And yep, I am interested in any questions that may arise from this episode.
So go grab a good cup of coffee, hop on the treadmill, drive to the next place you need to be, or whatever (just don’t do all these at the same time please) and enjoy the show.
Listen here!

Fantastic podcast! Thanks so much. Very helpful.
I have always felt that physical intimacy is a bi-product of emotional intimacy and security in the relationship. Thank you for sharing that at a deeper level!
Thanks for the podcast- my fiance, Matt, and I really enjoyed it! We have been discussing a lot of these issues together as we have been reading “The Passionate Marriage” by Dr. Schnarch, and trying to determine the difference between emotional fusion, over independence, and differentiation in our own relationship.
It is tricky to determine those fine lines in real relationships, and how to effectively apply these concepts to improve true intimacy. We have recognized that I lean towards emotional fusion while Matt leans more towards independence, and perhaps recognizing this is the first step towards achieving differentiation.
We certainly have a lot to learn, and look forward to more on this subject!!
Thanks Corey

Passionate Marriage is a good read, although a bit heavy at times. You are correct in the difficulty of the differences between everything that comes up in relationships, are we fused, too separate, differentiated, in love, hate each other, and everything in between. I’ll work up another podcast and try to give “this is what it would look like” kind of information.
Thanks for the comment, and the link.
Great podcast! Keep em coming!
Really enjoyed the podcast Corey! As Meg was saying, we have been doing some reading on these topics. I really enjoyed hearing some of the same ideas come from another person. The part about ownership over another person body really hit home with me. It seems so obvious that we don’t have control over our partners body, but so many times we try and control it. I would be interested in hearing about how to stop fusing so much in a relationship. I’ll have to give this another listen to later! Thanks again!
Even BETTER than the last podcast! Thank you Corey.
