Welcome back to Late Nate Date Night. I’m Sergio, here with my wife, Lizzi.In this episode, we talk openly about something most couples never say out loud — what happens when your marriage loses all sexual desire. After having kids, breastfeeding, exhaustion, mom guilt, dad frustration, and emotional disconnection, our intimacy disappeared.
