Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is joined by her husband Dr. Rodd Stockwell, to unpack the art of problem-solving in marriage. 

They stress the importance of clearly identifying the type of conversation you're having, whether it's venting, seeking emotional support, problem-solving, or something else. You need to know which kind of communication you need, and which kind of communication your spouse needs.

When there's a problem, before diving into practical solutions, it's essential to address any emotional baggage first. Visualize yourselves sitting side by side, collaborating on the problem at hand, without disrespect or opposition. When the emotional air is cleared, real solutions arise so don't hesitate to take detours when unexpected emotional issues present. 

Also in this episode: 

• Communication Types: Understand that there are different types of communication, such as venting, making requests, problem-solving, vulnerable communication, and more.
• Setting The Stage: Before diving into problem-solving, ensure that both partners are on the same page about the type of conversation they are having.
• Emotional Alignment: Make sure both partners feel heard, seen, and emotionally aligned on the issue before moving on to practical problem-solving.
• Teamwork: Approach problem-solving as a team, sitting on the same side of the table, so to speak. Avoid making it about one person being right or wrong. 
• Efficient Problem-Solving: If emotions or conflicts arise during the process, address them first, and then return to the problem-solving discussion.
• Building Connection: Successful problem-solving enhances connection and intimacy in the relationship, leading to more efficient and harmonious interactions in daily life.

 Whether you're a woman in the midst of menopause, anticipating it, or close to someone who is, you are invited to join a candid, provocative conversation in a safe space where all experiences are honored.

 "The Invitation" is an expansive, meaningful dialogue between two friends that unfolds organically as the authors discuss the nuances of their individual experiences, challenge widely held social constructs, and give rise to empowering new perspectives on the menopause paradigm.

The Intimate Marriage Podcast, With Intimacy Coach, Alexandra Stockwell, MD

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD dives deep into the concept of amazing sex and what that truly means within the context of a healthy, loving marriage.

Alexandra underlines that amazing sex is a deeply personal and subjective experience, emphasizing that the feelings evoked are far more important than the specific acts engaged in.

Alexandra provides various examples of these messages, such as expressing love and appreciation, searching for escape or connection, a desire for help with household chores, or simply wanting to feel nurtured.

Also in this episode:

• Each sexual encounter conveys a message, serving as a means of communication between partners.
• How to effectively express the emotions you want to convey.
• Many women use sex to get husbands to help with household chores.

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, welcomes back Rodd Stockwell to explore the infamous bread story that lead to a shift in their marriage to embrace uncompromising intimacy.

Initially, a trivial disagreement arose between Alexandra and Rodd regarding bread storage. Rodd grew up storing bread in the refrigerator, while Alexandra stored it on the counter. Ultimately, Alexandra compromised by storing the bread in the fridge, leading to resentment. Over time, they grew curious about each other's perspectives, viewing the issue objectively and depersonalizing it. They realized the importance of being seen, heard, and supported in their relationship; they focused on understanding each other's perspectives and approached the matter objectively and impersonally. They achieved a strong emotional bond by openly communicating their needs while still maintaining their individuality. They worked together to enhance their decision-making process by balancing practicality and spontaneity. This journey brought them closer, improved their relationship, and deepened their understanding.

Also in this episode:

• Differences in upbringing and expectations
• The similarities between Alexandra and Rodd's backgrounds

• Compromise is the opposite of drying out

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is joined by Dr. Lynne Maureen Hurdle, a conflict resolution strategist. Conflict is inevitable and Lynne talks about how she helps people engage in constructive conflict, instead of running from it.

In this conversation the focus is on conflict in marriage, and in the workplace, between any two people and specifically interracial couples. Lynne recommends people engage in conversations with those they are in conflict with, aiming to be vulnerable and staying open to listening. She describes her program, On the Matter of Race, which was created to teach white people about racism and how to dismantle it. The program was inspired by a request from two white women who wanted to understand the experiences of people of color, and how to be effective allies. Lynne clearly articulates the need for white people to understand their role in addressing and dismantling racism and has devoted her life to helping make that happen, at both the personal and societal levels.

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is joined by Connor Beaton, the founder of ManTalks, to discuss the emasculation of men and how they can have real conversations with their partners and friends.

Despite appearing to have a perfect life, Connor hit rock bottom while struggling with addictions and dishonesty. He eventually found a mentor who taught him yoga, psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and shadow work. When he opened up to his male friends about his struggles, he found they didn't know how to respond and were used to conversations which lacked depth and substance. This realization inspired him to create ways for men to connect with one another and their partners, in meaningful ways that don't compromise their strength. 

Connor helps men open up to one another, and their partners, without feeling emasculated. Instead, they flourish from doing so.

Also in this episode:

• How a man can find a mentor
• Struggles with addiction, porn, lying and cheating
• "When the student is ready, the master will appear"
• How a good man finds his voice in marriage 
• Men are more isolated than ever and that's why it's important for them to be around other men
• The importance of doing shadow work

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is joined by Vince and Krystina Shirey to discuss the many blended family issues they faced when they got married and combined their families. They also talk about how they learned to let go of expectations in order to have a happier marriage.

A pervasive challenge faced by couples when blending a family concerns the delicate balance between prioritizing the children's needs and wellbeing versus prioritizing one another in the marriage. Unfortunately, societal norms and unconscious biases are unhelpful when navigating all the important considerations. The truth is, in a successful marriage with children, it's not either-or and it's key to aim for a harmonious balance. It is crucial to prioritize the marriage while also maintaining a strong bond with the children, which is an inherently lifelong commitment. 

Whether you're in a blended family or not, how do you and your partner prioritize your marriage while also maintaining a strong bond with your children? 

Also in this episode: 

• The challenges of blended families and being a blended family
• The importance of non-negotiable dates
• Why you need to start letting go of expectations
• How to deal with the pressure of your marriage
• Why sexuality is incompatible with pressure from your spouse

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, chats with Kaylee and Justin Poulet about keeping the romance in your marriage alive through intention and using Love Languages.

In addition to his knowledge and ambition, I recognized Justin's incredibly intentional support for his wife as a real asset to his marriage.  For context, we met in Arizona at a conference, and there was a massive snow storm back in his hometown.  This made the situation back home somewhat difficult on his wife, Kaylee, who was managing the kids and household on her own. After we got to talking about Justin's intentional actions to support and connect with Kaylee from afar, I learned just how growth oriented and aware Justin is as a husband. I knew I had to have this couple on the show. I see Justin and Kaylee as true role models: role models for other couples, role models for their children to see what marriage can be like, and I hope, today, they are role models for you too. 

Also in this episode:

• What Justin does to make things easier on Kaylee before he travels out of town
• How Kaylee receives Justin's intentional love and acts of kindness
• How Justin and Kaylee prioritize both their marriage and their family life
• What Justin views as the most pivotal moment in their life and marriage

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, discusses how you can navigate the incredibly difficult landscape when either you, or your partner, suffers through the loss, or terminal illness, of a parent.

This is not a fun topic, but it is an extremely important one that eventually comes up, at some point, in most marriages.  After all, real intimacy is not only about the sexy and fun moments–it is also about supporting a loved one through all aspects of life, and an unfortunate truth is that sickness and death find us at both expected and unexpected moments. Whether you or your spouse have lost one or both parents, or if one of you has a sick parent, or even if you currently have four healthy parents/in-laws, this episode will raise your awareness. It can help you navigate through some of the inevitably hard moments in life, in ways that are meaningful for your marriage. For those who haven't encountered this type of hardship, I realize this is a tough subject and it may even seem morbid. But know that this is about setting yourself and your relationship up, so that you're not blindsided by realities that will eventually happen. The orientation I provide today can also be successfully applied to other hardships you encounter as well.

Also in this episode:

• The story of when and how I lost both my mother and my father
• Why the spouse going through the loss can feel lonely even within a strong, connected marriage
• The differing perspectives between the supportive spouse and the one going through the loss of their parent
• Guidelines to get through this heartbreaking experience without creating a barrier between you and your partner
• Specific recommendations for the supportive spouse to be able to love well during this time

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, chats with the co-founders of the Cotier Brand, Marx and Amber Succés, about the success in their marriage while building a thriving business together. 

Marx and Amber Succés have a very appropriate last name! This growth-oriented couple has seen success romantically in their marriage, as wonderful parents, and as Co-Founders of the Cotier Brand–a lifestyle brand in which the two create unique and modern party supplies and gift products. It takes a special team to bring creative and joyful products into the world the way these two do, especially when, as you'll hear in this conversation today, they make it seem so easy. The fact that they work well together, with patience and honesty, says so much about them as a couple and as business owners. I absolutely love the fun products they are creating within the Cotier Brand, and I can't wait for you to learn about their business and relationship.

Listen as Amber and Marx share:

• How they compartmentalize to be able to communicate separately as business partners, as husband and wife, and as co-parents

• How their communication styles have evolved since they began their romantic relationship

• The inspiration behind the creative products in their business

• Amber and Marx's biggest piece of advice for couples starting a business together

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD chats with her husband, Rodd Stockwell, to reflect on their last year of marriage.

This conversation has become a wonderful tradition as part of our anniversary celebration, and we share what we've loved about the past year, what's challenged us, and what we're looking forward to. We believe that sharing this provides an invitation for others to learn from our experiences. This year in particular has been an interesting one as we have re-discovered hobbies that light us up, that we each do on our own. You'll hear how, even though we don't directly share in these experiences together, we each bring home a newfound joy that enhances our connection with one another.  No marriage is perfect. We all have our ups and downs. But my goal is for you to see how communication, passion and reflection can deepen your connection so that it continues to improve with each passing year.

Together we discuss:

• My initial feelings when we first got married and the surprising outlook I had on the future back then

• Our reflections on the past year of our lives 

• How we've brought more fun into our lives by individually pursuing passions we each cared about long before we met 

• What we're looking forward to as we head into our 28th year together

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, chats with Dr. Elsbeth Meuth and Freddy Zental Weaver about expanding intimacy in your relationship[p through practicing tantra and tantric exercises. 

If you're not familiar with tantra, this conversation will be a great introduction for you, as this isn't about tantric sex but more so the mind-body connection and meditation practice within the realm of intimacy. It's about both your sexual center and your love center.  As Freddy says in this episode, "tantra is one of the most effective yogas in terms of shifting something in your life."  So if you have something you'd like to shift, whether it's around your relationship or another aspect of your life, I hope you listen to this fascinating conversation. 

Also in this episode:

• How exactly they define the concept of "tantra"
• Details on the practice of sexual meditation
• How these sexual practices impact men and women differently
• The differences in Freddy and Elsbeth's upbringings in terms of sexual openness and sexual oppression
• What it's like for this couple working together day-to-day with completely different work styles and personality types
