Hey everybody, it's Francie. Welcome back. Today we are continuing our episode series on 10

intentional intimacy ideas for your summer. But really, if you're listening to this later,

these ideas don't have to be practiced during the summertime only they are applicable

to any and every day of our lives. Easy ways to intentionally invest in intimacy because a great

marriage and a meaningful sex life within our marriages, they don't happen on accident. They

don't just happen because we go through time together. They happen because of

intentional, meaningful, thoughtful steps towards deeper connection. So today we are going to talk

about that very theme in the context of sweat and how sweating together becomes sexy time together.

And I'm going to show you the link between exercise working out together and having a deeper

more meaningful more satisfying sex life so today's going to be quick fun and hopefully we'll spur your

creativity to how you can incorporate exercise into your marriage into your daily life into your time

connecting together if that works to create a more beautiful and exciting environment

for intimacy. So God, thank you for our incredible bodies. We just pause right here wherever you are

and just acknowledge, wow, thank you for my body. No matter what age or stage or level of health we are we have air in our lungs

and we are having thoughts in our heads and we are having people around us to love and be loved by

in this world and we are grateful and so god thank you for our bodies and thank you for the

ability to move and breathe and know you and show you through the ways we move and love in our bodies.

Thank you for how you designed us to give love and receive love with our bodies and for the gift that it is to take care of these good bodies.

So Lord, we dedicate this time, this moment, this day, this conversation to you.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Okay, so many of you know that I'm good friends with Elisa Keaton from Revelation
