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.
This is a loaded question. Stop “should-ing” on yourself, especially when it comes to your marriage. “Should” is a word that connotes a duty or a chore…who wants that? Let’s reframe the question moving forward.
Rather, let’s focus on the benefits of an active and growing sex life. While we can focus on the many health benefits, what if we flip the question and understand what’s behind your questions about “how often.”
In this episode you’ll be encouraged to reframe the way you think about frequency or differing sex drives. Listen in and hear a more helpful approach to choosing intimacy and connection.
