Summary
Welcome to the Summer Lovin’ Series, where we are taking some of the most beloved episodes and bringing you a mix of equipping you with a mix of mindset, mentoring and practicals to help you see the goodness of God in your bedroom and your body.
What’s okay for Christian marriage in the bedroom?
Maybe that’s the wrong question. Married sex can be a playground, filled with creativity and adventure. In this episode, we’ll reframe the question and perhaps help you process and give yourself permission for a little bit of adventure and freedom in your marriage bed. God created you in a wonderful way and designed married intimacy as celebration.
The bodies of a husband and wife are designed to fit together perfectly and there isn’t a mandate saying you need to add anything. Sex toys are simply tools that you can introduce to your married intimacy “menu.” Consider these thoughts on sex toys as you process what is good for your marriage.

| 0:28.8 | this summer and beyond. Let's dive in. Hi, sweet friends, welcome back. I could just say welcome back |
| 0:35.7 | to my closet, because that's where I am right now |
| 0:38.0 | recording in between things that I have going on with my kids and I've been wanting to squeeze in |
| 0:44.1 | this conversation for a long time and so today we're going to take a quick minute and we are |
| 0:48.7 | going to talk about sex toys I get this question a lot are sex toys okay our vibrator's okay |
| 0:53.8 | what's okay in a Christian marriage? And I want to |
| 0:57.7 | unpack that. I even just want to kind of address that question of what's okay because I think that is |

| 1:27.4 | And I think they're actually kind of right. |
| 1:29.1 | And so anyway, we're going to talk about all of that today and a way of reframing the idea of sex toys so that you can take some steps to maybe get a little bit out of your comfort zone to have a little bit more fun and a little bit more adventure than you may have considered in the |
| 1:45.1 | past. So anyway, we're going to unpack all of that today. Before we do that, we're just going to |
