| Lack of Intimacy
Tearing Apart Relationships
Today’s couples are facing a lack of intimacy
and romance and are hoping to rekindle their
relationships with Larry’s help. Find out
what happened below:
Lisa and Courtney are at a relationship standoff:
she wants him to initiate intimacy, but he won’t
for fear of rejection. Since having children,
Courtney has put on a few pounds and says his
confidence has plummeted as a result. He wants
Lisa to reaffirm his attractiveness rather than
constantly coming down on him for not approaching
her sexually. Video
Clip: Will Courtney and Lisa ever see eye-to-eye? Larry and guest expert Stacy
Kaiser advised Lisa that her pleading with Courtney
to “be a man” is actually emasculating
him. They also told Courtney that the best way
to regain self-esteem is to face his fears about
being intimate with Lisa.

Work demands
and communication gaps have driven a wedge in
this couple’s physical desire for each
other. Robyn feels neglected and wishes Mike
would be a better listener, while Mike feels
he puts in the effort to no avail. The last straw
for Robyn was her weight loss of more than 150
pounds, which she feels went virtually unnoticed
by Mike. The couple hasn’t had sex in eight
months and is currently sleeping in separate
beds. Larry and Stacy Kaiser counseled the couple,
saying that showing affection is a great way
to demonstrate a healthy relationship to their
children and that sharing a bed is the first
step to doing so.
