In today's episode, Tony and Alisa De Lorenzo get right down to the nitty-gritty of marriage

and relationships. Their new book, Six Pillars of Intimacy, gives words to the needs of every spouse.

You'll actually hear me call it revolutionary in this episode because I had a light bulb moment

of how impactful this would be for Jesse and me. Tony and Alisa discuss how financial intimacy,

recreational intimacy, emotional intimacy, and more impact their day-to-day relationships and

build upon one another. They share their own stories of the broken pieces of their marriage

and how practical, small, daily changes restored that brokenness and also gave them freedom

to ask for the things that they needed. We also discuss sexual intimacy voicing our needs

and their beliefs on sex toys within the bedroom. If you enjoy this conversation, be sure to check out

my entire Sex and Christianity series on this podcast and let's jump into today's conversation.

We were never promised that life would be easy, but when we do it together, it becomes much easier.

I genuinely believe that we have to be intentional about creating a joyful life.

I believe in happy parenting, healthy marriages, long-lasting friendships, and making perfect memories

in imperfect homes. But those things require deep, holy, heart work. I am passionate when it comes

to sharing vulnerably about the things that people are not always comfortable discussing,

and I am passionate about sharing practical wisdom that has helped me to help you navigate through

life less stressfully and more purposefully. On the Living Easy Podcast, you'll hear honest

insight with a biblical foundation to help you become best friends with your spouse again,

to love your motherhood so much that you don't need wine or even coffee to get through the day

and to find hope in the very real trials and pain that we face moment to moment.

I want to challenge you every Monday to live life with purpose, to choose joy and to honor God

with all that you do. Are you ready to fight hard for that sweet, abundant life? If so, I would love
