Sexual withdrawal doesn't come up on the list of harmful behaviours in marriage, but it should.

We challenge cruelty. We challenge contempt. We challenge neglect, addiction, and infidelity. But when there's no intimacy, no willingness to talk about it, and no effort to change it — that silence causes damage too.

If your partner is withdrawing without explanation or engagement, you're allowed to name it.

What if the ideology that promised to liberate women is actually making them unhappy? I sat down with philosopher and author Carrie Gress to find out.

Sexual frequency in marriage has dropped 50%+ since the 1990s — and this cultural narrative is partly why.

"Women don't owe men anything" belongs in a single life.

Not a marriage.

Marriage is built entirely on what we give to each other. The moment "I don't owe you anything" becomes the operating principle of your relationship, you're not in a partnership anymore.

More positive. More s*xual. More loving. More confident. More compassionate. More patient.

You are the creator of your own life, and the list of who you can become is infinite.

If you're a devoted husband and s*x has disappeared from your marriage, this one's for you.

Sexual withdrawal is one of the most talked-around and least talked-about problems in long-term relationships. There's always a reason. Always another barrier to address. Always something to work on first.

And the men on the receiving end are usually the kindest, most patient ones in the room.

This video is about why that pattern happens, why it causes real harm, and why you're allowed to name it as a problem, not a preference.

Many couples who come to me feel confused about what happened to their marriage.

They still care about each other. They may even communicate well. But something important has disappeared.

The s*xual connection.

When intimacy fades, the advice couples almost always hear is to focus on communication and emotional closeness first. And sometimes that genuinely helps.

But in many long-term relationships, the sequence runs the other way. The s*xual connection fades, and emotional distance grows in the space it leaves behind.

Understanding what intimacy truly means to each partner is often where things begin to change.

Because a lot of marriages don't have a communication problem. They have an intimacy problem.

If this pattern feels familiar, you're not alone.

I work with couples online and in Somerset, including One-Day Couples Intensives designed to help partners understand what's really going on in their relationship and begin finding their way back to each other.

Screen addiction in marriage is the elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about.

Not because it's complicated, but because we've all normalised it.

If you're living with someone who'd rather scroll than connect, you're not needy for wanting more.

Social media isn't just stealing her time. It's rewriting the story of your marriage.

Every scroll feeds her a highlight reel of someone else's life — curated, filtered, and designed to make reality feel like it's not enough. Designed to make you feel like you're not enough.

It's what I call the Wormtongue Effect. A constant voice whispering comparison and resentment until she starts believing it.

And the worst part? She probably doesn't even realise it's happening. 👀

He's back! George from TheTinMen returns to the Love & Cherish Podcast for round two.

We tackle the claims that keep feminism positioned as an unquestionable force for good: the pay gap, domestic violence statistics, boys falling behind in education, and why 15 men a day are still dying by su***de in the UK while nobody seems to want to talk about it.

George brings the data. Laura brings 15 years of clinical experience watching these dynamics play out in real marriages. And together we ask the question most people won't: what if the narrative we've been sold isn't the full picture?

If a husband said, "I’m just not interested in deep conversations anymore, you need to accept that," we would call it emotional abandonment.

We might even call it cruelty.

Yet, when the roles are reversed and physical intimacy is taken off the table indefinitely, we often frame it as a "boundary" that must be respected without question.

Why is one essential for a marriage, but the other is optional?

🎥 I released a full video breaking this down.

We have normalized emotional demands while demonizing s*xual needs. This is creating a massive imbalance in modern marriages.

I break down exactly why this is happening and how to fix it in my brand new video.
