The message that I was receiving in the church is it's so beautiful and because of that you want to keep it within the marriage.

It's worth waiting for.

Exactly.

And so that was kind of what I came with.

So then you can only imagine coming in to our honeymoon to find out that we didn't really have good sex at all.

And it's kind of trickled into years.

I thought it was my fault. Spiritually. I thought that I was being punished for the years of

porn use. And that was in my head that God is saying you don't get to experience.

Hey friend. Thanks for joining me for this bonus episode of Java with Julie.

This podcast is a production of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming

God's design for sexuality.

Well, the voices that you just heard belong to Corey and Kayla Morgan.

They are my guest today, and they are also board members of authentic intimacy.

Now, maybe you can relate to the disappointment and the confusion that they felt when

sex didn't come easily in their marriage.

This week, we're talking through some of the concepts from my new book, God's sex and your marriage.

And Corey and Kayla are so gracious and I would say courageous to share their story very

vulnerably. They want to give you hope that God can redeem the broken places in your story too.

One thing I really love about this conversation is that you get to hear the real life behind the scenes redemption, including the messiness, the stumbling, and the fact that this is a long journey.

I hope it helps you to see how these spiritual ideas that I teach through the book actually play out in real life marriages.

We'll do some more of this in our next episode of Java with Julie when I answer some

the questions about sexual struggles that you've sent in through events or via email.
