Overcoming Grief and Rebuilding Intimacy

Subject Line: My Husband and I Haven’t Had Sex in 3 Years Preview Line: No, he wasn’t cheating, and it wasn’t because of any medical condition.

Hi %Firstname%,

Being with your partner long-term can bring unexpected changes, even when you think you’re prepared for them. My husband and I were high school sweethearts, inseparable and always making time for each other.

Our relationship was filled with passion, and I loved every moment of our connection.

We were that couple who couldn’t keep our hands off each other. From sneaking kisses while watching movies to sleeping in rather than hanging out with friends, we thrived on our intimacy. Even after three kids, our bond only seemed to deepen.

But then everything changed.

A tragic accident shattered our world. One moment, we were singing along to our favorite song with our kids, and the next, we were in an ER, our lives irrevocably altered.

Losing our oldest was a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

In the aftermath, our household transformed. The kids were too young to fully grasp the loss, but it was evident they missed their sibling.

My husband and I found it impossible to reconnect physically or emotionally. I missed the closeness we once had, and I know he did too.

It's hard to believe a year went by, then two, and finally three without intimacy.

I felt so alone in my grief, but everything shifted when I listened to Dr. Laura Berman’s podcast. She spoke about how grieving changes your life and those around you.

One quote struck me: “You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered.” It was a wake-up call. I realized we had a lot of rebuilding to do.

So, I decided to take action.

I prepared a nice dinner and shared my feelings with my husband, expressing how the emotional distance was tearing me apart. We poured our hearts out and committed to rebuilding our connection.

We explored Dr. Berman’s resources, and purchased her eBook, 7 Days to Better Sex, which truly helped us reconnect. He then planned a surprise weekend getaway, which was truly amazing.

We finally experienced the intimacy we thought we had lost. My husband shared that he wanted to be close to me all those years but didn’t want to rush my healing, and he didn't think it was right for him either.

If you’re feeling lost in your own relationship, you’re not alone. It’s important to acknowledge the changes and seek a path back to each other, even when it feels impossible. You don’t have to let the pain of loss ruin your relationship. Take action now and improve your sex life.
