173. Unlocking Passion: How Confidence Shapes Success in Love and Life - Expert Advice from Dr Alexandra Stockwell
In this episode of the Intimate Marriage podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD dives into confidence and how it shapes success in love and life. She sheds light on the crucial role of self-confidence and how attractive it is within intimate relationships, and more specifically, how it plays out among ambitious, educated couples. Dr Alexandra explores the common scenario where one partner craves more from their relationship while the other seems content with the status quo. She provides guidance on how to reignite passion and cultivate a deeper sense of self-worth, emphasizing the magnetic power of confidence as one of the ultimate keys to a more fulfilling and vibrant partnership. Also in this episode: Confidence is the most attractive quality in a partner and a fundamental ingredient for a passionate and thriving marriage. Seeking affirmation and validation from a partner creates an unhealthy parent-child dynamic, which is detrimental for erotic connection. The best course of action for someone feeling needy or rejected is to focus on developing their own sense of value and self-worth. Bringing one's confident, successful self (with authenticity, not bravado) from your professional life into your personal relationship is a pivot that will result in a significant improvement in intimacy.

168. Unlocking Deeper Connection: The Power of Small Gestures in Marriage
In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD dives into the profound impact that small, thoughtful gestures can have on creating a deeper connection in marriage. She emphasizes that such acts don’t have to be expensive or time-consuming, as the smallest deeds are sometimes the most significant in nurturing a deep connection between partners. Put differently, small gestures are the seeds which grow into emotional, sensual, and erotic intimacy blossoms. Dr. Alexandra brings up the concept that 'Small is Beautiful,' explaining how minor, deliberate actions—like turning on an outside light or sending an estimated time of arrival—can express profound love and care in a relationship. She provides practical advice on how couples can integrate these minor but mighty acts of love into their daily routine to enhance closeness and connection. Also in this episode: Small, easy gestures in daily life have a huge impact on the emotional and intimate connection in a marriage. Consistency in these acts is key, not the complexity or grandeur of the gesture. Romantic gestures don't need to be spontaneous; they can be planned and scheduled by the giver while still allowing for a feeling of spontaneity and surprise for the one receiving them. The 'no pain, no gain' philosophy does not apply when cultivating relationships; well chosen, simple acts, which require minimal effort, can yield significant results.

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD dives into the importance of communication and how essential it is in creating a passionate marriage. She describes ways to adjust how you listen so as to evoke more depth, meaning, and intimacy in what your partner shares with you. Dr. Alexandra is a seasoned expert when it comes to fostering deep connection in couples. Drawing on her experience as a physician, relationship and intimacy coach, and her own 27-year marriage, she describes common misconceptions that often play out in marital discourse and how to avoid them. Also in this episode: Successful communication in marriage results at least as much from how we listen, as from how we speak. A partner's actions can be a powerful expression of love; learning to 'listen' to these actions enhances connection, appreciation, and intimacy. Simple shifts in a listener’s perspective can resolve misunderstandings and open doors to deeper emotional intimacy. The concept of "generous listening" is a strategy which leads to richer layers of meaning and feelings of connection while in conversation with your spouse.

161. Breaking Taboos: Exploring Frequency of Sex in Long-Term Relationships
In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, explores a question that frequently murmurs in the back of many couples' minds: "How often should we be having sex? What’s normal?" With an enlightening approach, Alexandra delves into the complexities underneath this question, offering both men and women advice on how to find the answer that best suits their unique relationship, and desires. She encourages listeners to shift their focus from quantity to quality, emphasizing the importance of creating sexual experiences that both partners look forward to. Also in this episode: The "normal" frequency of sex in a marriage is subjective and should be based on mutual satisfaction, not societal expectations. Quality of sexual experiences is far more important than frequency although they are deeply interconnected. Couples with differing sexual desires should work together to create gratifying experiences, seeking external guidance as needed.

145. How To Problem Solve In Your Marriage (Without Driving Either Yourself Or Your Partner Crazy)
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.
