Hi, friends. I'm so glad you're here with me today. Thank you for joining me. Today on the Heaven and Your Home podcast, we are going to just be having more conversations, more unpacking of what it means to walk in freedom and wholeness as image bearers within the context

of a healthy sexual relationship and marriage.

We just don't talk about it enough in the church.

And so that is a big part of what this podcast is, is reclaiming this territory because in the

very beginning, God had a good idea.

And he marked us as his image bearers and called us very good and a huge part of who we are

as humans with bodies that are made to glorify God is that we're sexual.

And so how do we talk about that?

How do we think about that?

How do we live that in a holy way that is pleasing

to God and awesome and good and pleasurable? So we're talking about today the topic of why

monogamy doesn't have to equal monotony. Got that? Why monogamy doesn't equal monotony? So often I feel like we see in the world this push

towards the tender culture or hookups or whatever it might be in the new, you know, the new

trend of the world. And it doesn't satisfy. It might look appealing and the world might have

this edgy sense of sexual excitement, but that's

not God's design. And so today we're talking about monogamy being exciting and good and how do we

keep feeding and growing our marriage and the intimacy of our marriage so that it is monogamous,

meaning committed one partner forever in a covenant of holy marriage.

But it's also exciting and growing and how do we grow it and how do we think about it in a way that

keeps us from getting in the boring trap and in the rut of just doing the same old, same old all the time.

So that's what we're talking about today.

I'm just going to pray, Lord, thank you that you created sex.
