When couples turn quality time into pressure to perform intimacy

My partner and I block out entire Sundays to be together but then we feel pressure to make it special and end up stressed about wasting our 'quality time' instead of just being ourselves, and I think we've turned connection into a performance.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The designation of sacred time can create expectations that prevent the very ease it was meant to protect.
