Dr. Viviana Coles, Relationship & Sex Therapist and Licensed Psychotherapist | Living the Authentic Life Podcast

Feb12024
DatingDr. VivianaMental HealthPodcastRelationshipsSexDr. Viviana Coles discusses intimacy in marriage on the Living the Authentic Life podcast

Intimacy in marriage is more than physical—it’s emotional, mental, and deeply personal. In the first Living the Authentic Life podcast episode of 2024, Rob and Donae welcome Dr. Viviana Coles, nationally recognized relationship and sex therapist, to explore how real intimacy fuels lasting relationships.

Known for her role on Married at First Sight (seasons 9–14) and now a regular expert on Fox 26 Houston, Dr. Viviana shares what couples often overlook in maintaining closeness. With over two decades of clinical experience, she helps demystify the challenges many couples face and offers hope that deeper connection is always possible.


Intimacy in Marriage: What It Really Takes

In this powerful episode, Dr. Viviana shares:

  • Why couples often confuse intimacy with sex—and how to tell the difference

  • The habits that keep couples emotionally connected, especially during conflict

  • Why small daily interactions matter more than big romantic gestures

  • How she developed the 4 Intimacy Styles to help couples understand each other

  • Why creating space for vulnerable conversations leads to more satisfying intimacy

She also opens up about her journey from growing up in Houston to becoming a nationally respected voice in intimacy and relationships.
