Hey there, Bella Rose. Thank you for joining. I'm not sure if this is your first time, but if it is,

I do a podcast posting every Tuesday. It's been going over two years now. It's been such a

blessing for me, my family, and many people around the world, praise God. And so I felt like I needed to take a couple months off

and focus on what I felt like God wanted me to focus on. So what I'm doing for you is to

encourage you and inspire you in your marriage and in your intimacy in your marriage. I'm

continuing to post podcasts every Tuesday,

but it's an inspiring excerpt from my book,

Delight Your Husband.

And I am praying that this would be encouraging for you,

and especially if you've been a longtime listener

and you look forward to the Tuesday broadcast

for your extra umph to push you into a wonderful week

of of oneness with your husband. I am confident that these excerpts will encourage you every week

and continue that that tradition that you have created with the DYM show.

All right.

Well, let's go ahead and dive in to today's reading.

Don't derive your worth from fading things.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you might be thinking.

So you wrote a whole book about sex and you're telling

me it doesn't matter? Well, kind of. I'm telling you it's not the most important thing. I want

you to focus on sex and get a passionate and intimate marriage so that the rest of your life

can be more purposeful.
