Summary
Sex. Almost every man will say it’s their love language. But Dr. Gary Chapman—the expert behind The Five Love Languages—explains why that’s not quite right, and makes a crucial distinction between physical desire and emotional connection. John and I dig into what this really means for intimacy, unpacking the science behind male vs. female sexual needs and why understanding your partner’s love language can change everything. We also explore how love languages show up in parenting—and how to recognize them in your kids. ⚠️Warning: we go there. Sex, chemistry, and the truths you’ve been too polite to ask about.
