Why Your Wife Doesn't Want Sex (And Why It's Not What You Think) | Dan Purcell

Most couples never learned how to talk about sex — let alone create a deeply connected, passionate relationship that lasts decades.

In this episode of Patterns of Power, Craig sits down with Dan Purcell, founder of Get Your Marriage On, coach to hundreds of couples worldwide, host of a podcast with 1.7M+ listens, and creator of intimacy tools used by over half a million couples.

Together they unpack:
• Why many men grow up believing sex is shameful or dangerous
• How porn, secrecy, and performance pressure quietly damage intimacy
• The surprising difference between spontaneous vs. responsive desire (and why this changes marriages)
• What healthy masculine sexuality actually looks like
• Why “duty sex” destroys connection
• The hidden ways couples accidentally make intimacy worse
• How to rebuild trust, passion, vulnerability, and play inside long-term relationships
• Why great sex isn’t luck — it’s something couples can intentionally build

If you’ve ever wondered:
“Why does intimacy feel disconnected?”
“Why do I feel rejected?”
“Why did our sex life disappear?”
“Can marriages actually get better after years together?”

This conversation is for you.
