"It's so incredible that everyone's getting these opportunities and going out and living their dreams, but my health has held me back from saying 'yes' to a lot of opportunities. It's definitely discouraging and frustrating, and it kind of holds me back in other places in my life, like my marriage with Jace."
"Intimacy is really important for me. It's like a deal-breaker. I'm walking into Mayci's Sinner Sunday party with Jace, and I feel like I'm in a pressure cooker with this separation issue because I'm also feeling a bit lost of what to do right now."
"Unfortunately, I think it's just something that's going to take a lot more time. I feel like that's all I can say on it now."
Mikayla Matthews from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has separated from her husband Jace Terry after years of marital struggles centered on intimacy issues. Mikayla has been processing childhood sexual abuse trauma while managing chronic health conditions that have limited her opportunities and affected her marriage. Jace prioritizes intimacy as essential to their relationship. The couple, married since 2018 with four children, initially kept the separation private, with Mikayla confiding only in castmate Mayci Neeley. She moved out of their shared home hoping to reconcile after healing from her trauma and health challenges. As of season four's airing, they remain separated, with Mikayla indicating the reconciliation process requires significant additional time.
