Summary
You have permission to break free from silence and shame and show up in a different way.
Perhaps you’ve experienced silence or unhelpful messages about your body and your sexuality. You’ve heard about sex being a man’s need or a wife’s duty. You’ve been told your body is a stumbling block and that sexual desire is dirty. The “don’t do it, don’t do it” message is ingrained in your brain, even if you’re already married.
It’s no wonder you show up to marriage with questions and even some confusion, unable to access desire or express passion. While you want to find answers and learn how to make the shift from “don’t do it” to fully embracing the beauty of the marriage bed, there’s a lot of silence, hurt and unhelpful messages out there that keep us stuck.
To build a love that lasts, you must begin with a strong foundation. Learn about a brand new resource developed to help you get a new lens, a Biblically integrated and practically grounded vision for sex.
The Strong Foundations course provides a comprehensive guide to starting the conversation and building a strong foundation for a healthy and fulfilling marriage.
You’re Invited to Learn in the New Growth Course: 101 Course: Strong Foundations to Starting Well, CLAIMING A HEALTHY VISION FOR MARRIED SEX
To build a love that lasts, you must begin with a strong foundation. Whether you’re newly engaged or in need of a new lens, this course is essential. You’ll be equipped to set a Biblically integrated and practically grounded vision for sex, marriage and the calling to steward the gift of pleasure and intimacy. This course is pivotal as you begin to unlearn unhelpful perspectives and sift through shame, lies and painful messages you’ve received over the years. Learn more here.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Heaven in Your Home podcast. This is Francie. I'm so honored that you had joined me. Today we're going to be talking about building a strong foundation for your marriage, specifically as it relates to your sexuality, your beliefs about sex, |
| 0:24.0 | and your experience of the design of God for your body, for your marriage, for intimacy and marriage. |
| 0:30.7 | We are going to be answering some of the questions that I get a lot, like, where do I start? |
| 0:35.6 | I don't even know how to begin reimagining the goodness of God |
| 0:39.9 | in this area. I feel so overwhelmed by the pornographic culture or the pain of my past or the |
| 0:47.4 | pain of purity culture. Any of those things can be painful enough to be paralyzing, right? |
| 0:53.2 | But how do we begin again? How do we |
| 0:55.0 | re-see God's vision? How do we get God's heart for this and internalize it beyond just what we |
| 1:01.4 | know into what we experience and embody and share in our marriage and pass on to our kids? So that's what |
| 1:09.9 | we're going to be talking today. |
| 1:11.0 | Where do I begin when it comes to needing a fresh start or building a stronger foundation |
| 1:17.4 | for what I already have? Maybe you're newlywed. Maybe you're thinking about getting married |
| 1:22.5 | and you want to have a strong foundation. Maybe you've been married for a couple of decades |
| 1:27.4 | and you realize that there |
| 1:28.8 | were some key pieces missing from the marriage foundation that God designed you to experience. |
| 1:35.3 | And you want to fill in those gaps now. I believe it's never too late. As long as you have air in |
| 1:40.9 | your lungs and you have a heart open to God, he can restore and redeem |
| 1:45.3 | what's broken. Whether or not you're coming to it from a really healthy place, excited to grow, |
| 1:51.3 | or really struggling place, just looking for truth. This is a great conversation to begin. |
| 1:57.6 | So, Lord, we thank you for fresh beginnings. We thank you that your mercy is new |
| 2:02.5 | every morning. We thank you that your faithfulness reaches to the heavens. And I thank you, God, |
| 2:09.6 | that you have rescued us and redeemed us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the |
