  • Episode 64 - Erotic Energy (Part 2) : Understanding Desire, Arousal & Co-Creation in Marriage
    Jun 27 2025

    In Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Amy and Greg Langford, we dive deeper into what it really means to integrate eros—that life-giving, erotic energy—into long-term marriage. If you missed Part 1, go back to Tuesday’s episode to hear their origin story and how their marriage shifted from disconnected to deeply intimate.


    This episode is a must-listen for couples navigating mismatched desire, struggles with pornography, religious sexual conditioning, or simply feeling stuck in routine. We unpack the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire, how emotional and physical arousal don’t always align, and why co-creating your sexual relationship is key to long-term satisfaction.

  • Episode 63 - Erotic Energy: What is It and How Do I Get It? (Part 1)
    Jun 24 2025

    Can a long-term marriage still feel alive and intimate—or are we just managing the household together?

    In this episode of Marriage iQ, we talk with Amy and Greg Langford, married 27+ years, about the two “buckets” of marriage: the domestic (partnership, parenting, logistics) and the erotic (passion, play, and desire).

    Together, we explore how couples lose intimacy through enmeshment and routine—and how to reclaim eros as a life-giving force.

    Whether you’re craving more connection or just wondering what happened to your spark, this conversation will shift how you think about love, identity, and staying fully alive in marriage.

  • Episode 62 - How to Build Real Intimacy Through Vulnerability : The Risks & Rewards (Part 2)
    Jun 20 2025

    Vulnerability is the heartbeat of intimacy—but it’s not easy. In this episode of Marriage IQ, Drs. Heidi and Scott Hastings explore how secrecy and the need to appear perfect sabotage connection, while real openness creates space for growth and trust.

    From joyful moments to painful transitions, we dive into how vulnerability shows up, how gender shapes our experience of it, and why support and discomfort are both part of the process.

    Learn how to:

    • Spot the hidden killers of vulnerability
    • Support your spouse (and yourself) through raw moments
    • Build a marriage where both partners feel safe being real

    Because the strongest marriages aren’t perfect—they’re honest.
