• When one spouse is sexually dissatisfied and the other is oblivious, unconcerned, or uncaring, sex isn't the only casualty; a sense of emotional connection can also disappear.

• Helping couples bridge the desire gap can be challenging when one spouse appears unmotivated or lacks empathy.

• It can also be challenging when therapists feel uncomfortable discussing sex.

• This speech presents a collaborative model for partners to work together to turn around the decline in their sex lives and reignite their emotional connection.
