Why Couples Lose Desire (And How to Get It Back) | Dr. Anna Elton

What I Discussed With Dr Anna Elton...

- Why the word desire gets confused with arousal, and how mixing them up keeps couples stuck for years.

- The uncomfortable truth about the "spontaneous" desire I felt at 25, and why Anna says I actually worked for it.

- What 700+ couples taught Anna about why some marriages stay passionate for decades while others go quiet.

- Where my erotic energy goes when it stops flowing toward a partner (it doesn't just vanish).

- The three personas every partnered person juggles, and the one that quietly starves first.

- The couple who ate out "all the time" but hadn't been on a real date in ten years.

- Why I hated being the default planner in my relationships, and Anna's fix for the "I don't know, what do you want to do?" dynamic.

- The 20 second habit that took one couple from a sexless marriage back to wanting each other.

- What actually kept Anna and her high school sweetheart flirting after 25 years and three kids.
