These Kids Got Me Knacking In Silence | The 3L's Podcast - Ep3

Eman and Mariam tackle one of marriage’s most private and most misunderstood topics: sex. With the ease of a couple 14 years deep, they open up about how their intimacy has evolved through every season, from the electric energy of early marriage to the strategic scheduling required with four children in the house. They swap stories about their very different experiences before marriage. Mariam waited until their wedding night, while Eman came in with past relationships—and how those differences shaped their first years together. The conversation weaves through wedding night realities (spoiler: exhaustion beats romance), mismatched desire levels, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the creative adjustments needed when toddlers sleep in your room. Nothing is off the table: mismatched libidos, porn use, silent “knocking” to avoid waking kids, and the challenge of keeping intimacy alive when life gets hectic. They also debate a listener dilemma about a husband tracking their sex life in a spreadsheet, opening a broader discussion on scheduling versus spontaneity. What emerges is a mix of humour, vulnerability, and straight talk about communication as the foundation for a healthy sex life. Eman admits he’s cooled down with age, Mariam shares the importance of checking in regularly, and together they show that intimacy is about much more than physical connection—it’s also late-night drives, playful banter, and mutual understanding. The episode closes with a “This Week in Petty” confession from Eman, proving that even in the bedroom, marriage is equal parts love, laughter, and learning to meet in the middle.
