Why does intimacy change after marriage—and what can couples do when the spark starts to fade? In this episode of *1-800 Bridesmaid*, host Jen Glantz talks with certified sexologist Natassia Miller about desire, long-term relationships, body confidence, sex after having children, and how couples can reconnect inside and outside the bedroom.

Natassia explains why desire does not always happen spontaneously, how stress and resentment can affect intimacy more than hormones, and why staying curious about your partner can strengthen a relationship. She also shares practical ideas for creating more connection, including trying new activities together and understanding what helps each partner feel emotionally and sexually engaged. Then Jen reads a real wedding dilemma: a bride whose future father-in-law drunkenly suggested that her fiancé had cheated—and warned that the behavior might continue after the wedding. Jen and Natassia break down whether she should confront her fiancé, question his father, postpone the wedding, or trust her instincts before making a lifelong commitment.
