Francie Winslow
About this episode

Let's reclaim novelty and excitement in our marriage bed to fully live out and honor God's design for married sex and intimacy. In this episode we'll reframe our view of novelty and unpack ways to avoid monotony as we keep our marriages exciting and growing. A few key points for this episode include:

 

  • Monogamous relationships are proven to be the happiest and healthiest in various aspects.

  • The journey towards embracing one's body and sexual side may require inner healing and questioning societal beliefs.

  • Being in touch with one's body and embracing sensuality leads to more freedom and excitement without pressure to perform.

  • The importance of inviting the Holy Spirit into the conversation of celebrating oneself and the gift of marriage.

  • The role of mindfulness in shifting mindset and enhancing the pleasure of intimate moments.
