How does mental health effect sex with your partner? What's considered cheating? How do you have intimate moments with your spouse while they are deployed? What's the "right way" to respond when your spouse does cheat? When's the "right time" to start talking to your kids about sex? Courtney, military spouse and Sexpert, answers all the burning questions we've seen on the spouses pages. This is not an episode for children's ears, but a great one to listen in private or with your spouse!
Courtney and I cover:
- Ways to be intimate with your spouse while deployed
- Ways mental illnesses like PTSD and depression can play in intimacy
- When to talk to your kids about sex
- What is cheating, how to avoid it, and what to do once it happens
- and more!
I got multiple requests for this type of episode, so even though it's not about business tips, it's about a common topic that a lot of people have questions about. I hope you enjoyed this slice and you can expect another episode with Courtney in season 3!
