About this episode

Francie Winslow discusses how to cultivate drive and maintain passion in long-term marriages amidst life's challenges.

Summer Q&A Series Real talk: how do you keep the passion alive when you've been married five, ten, twenty years? When the kids are loud, the calendar is full, and you're both just... tired?

In this bite-sized summer Q&A episode, Francie tackles one of the most common questions she receives: how do you cultivate drive in a long-term marriage? And the reframe she offers is one you probably haven't heard before. Hint: high drive isn't the goal. Sexual energy is. Ready to go deeper right now? Back to the Garden is the guide I wrote for exactly where you are — a married woman's guide to pleasure by design. It's the most honest thing I've put together, and at $18 it's the easiest yes you'll make this week. → here Questions? Find me on Instagram or at franciewinslow.com
