Well, hey there, I'm so glad you join me today for a bonus episode of Job with Julie.

I'm Julie Slattery, and this podcast is an outreach of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's design for sexuality.

My conversation today is with Ruth Buzis. Ruth and I sat down to

talk about something she did a few years ago that took her marriage, in her own words, from good

to amazing. Now, friend, if you feel like you're not experiencing in marriage, the kind of intimacy

that God intends for you, I hope you'll stay tuned.

Ruth is going to share with us how God started revealing to her how much he loved her.

And then how that intimacy she began to build with the Lord fueled a desire for more intimacy with her husband.

We'll also talk about some practical things like how to initiate sex, how to build emotional and physical connections with your husband,

and how to take ownership of things you may have done to shut down intimacy instead of nurturing it.

Ruth shares her story in her book, Awaken Love, and we'll link to that resource on our podcast page.

And as always, you know, you never have to miss an episode of Jab With Julie when you

subscribe on Apple Podcasts or your favorite listening app.

And of course, I sure appreciate it if you leave us a five-star rating, a comment, or just

share this podcast with a friend.

Now let's head to the coffee shop.

So Ruth, you teach women about sexuality.

You do what I do, which I don't meet many of me.

So this is really cool.

I do.

It's not something I ever planned to get into.

It's something I ever imagined. But it and never something I ever imagined but it has been amazing
