Have you ever let your relationship go by the wayside due to all the hats you wear? Maybe you’ve been working extra hard at your job, putting all of your time into your kids or simply haven’t been prioritizing your partner. In this month’s Therapy Moment, Sarah Davidson, MA, MFT shares with us the importance of creating checkpoints with your partner and how it can benefit your relationship!

Have you noticed a decrease in your sex life as you’ve gotten older? Maybe the intimacy with your partner has taken a backseat now that you’ve been together a long time or you just haven’t prioritized it like you once have.

Sex does not need to stop when you get older. Many people assume that it does, or that desire eventually fades, but that could not be further from the truth.

Do you expect your partner to "complete you" and meet all of your needs at any given moment?

If so; you aren't alone!
