Episode Description

Is it just us… or is everyone exhausted?

In this honest and relatable episode of The Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, Nick and Amy tackle a question so many couples are asking: Are we too tired for our marriage?

Between careers, kids, packed schedules, hormones, and everyday stress, exhaustion feels constant, and intimacy is often the first thing to fade. But here’s the real challenge:

Are you truly too tired… or have you stopped prioritizing your marriage?

With humor and real-life perspective from 23 years of marriage, Nick and Amy unpack what’s behind the “I’m too tired” excuse, and how to shift back into connection.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why exhaustion is often more mental than physical
  • The difference between being tired and simply bored
  • Why you find energy for what you’re committed to
  • How overscheduling drains your relationship
  • The power of small, intentional moments
  • Why putting your phone down changes everything
  • How dividing responsibilities reduces burnout
  • Why laughter, play, and celebration actually create energy

A Powerful Reminder

Marriage isn’t about feeling perfect every day — it’s about choosing to show up, even when you’re tired.

Intimacy doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Sometimes it’s five focused minutes, holding hands, a compliment, or protecting a weekly date night. If you have energy to scroll, you have energy to connect.

If you’re exhausted, you’re probably doing a lot of good things. But this episode will challenge you to look at your priorities, set better boundaries, and intentionally protect your marriage.

Because when you get out of boredom and back into connection, energy follows.
