Hi, Jim Daly here. Today's cultured deeply needs help, but in times like these, the light of Christ can shine even brighter.

So be encouraged to share his light in this broken world. Listen to the refocus with Jim Daly podcast.

Without time limitations, I'll have deep heartfelt discussions with fascinating guests who will encourage you to share God's grace, truth and love.

Check out the podcast at refocuswithjimdaly.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

One of the top questions that people come up to you with is, are we normal? Like what we're dealing with, nobody else deals with.

And the truth of the matter, now obviously Dr. Mike has seen this for decades in his therapy office.

And we've seen this over the years constantly in the research, is that whatever you're dealing with, you are not alone.

That's some great advice on healthy sexuality and marriage and we'll be covering that topic today with a biblical perspective.

And welcome to Focus on the Family, your host is Focus President and author Jim Daly. I'm John Fuller and we do want parents to know that we're going to be talking about some sensitive matters that aren't appropriate for younger kids.

John, I appreciate that. You know, so often we think of intimacy and marriage as a taboo subject to talk about in public.

I think it's one of the reasons the church has given so much over to the world. God created this as a gift, even raising my boys, I mean forever.

Even when they were young and we first had the talk with them, which ended up being the talks plural.

But I can remember saying, hey, this is a gift from God. It's going to be a great wedding present.

You can't treat it like a Christmas present where you peak on the end and look to see what's actually in there. You just can't do that.

This is a great gift. God's going to give you. So the goal is to save it for marriage.

But man, the church needs to own sexuality and marriage because as the surveys suggest and tell us the most satisfied sexual couples are those that are married and have faith in Christ.

And I'm excited about that. Now can we even do better in that area?

And I think today's program is going to point many couples into a healthier place when it comes to their sexual relationship.

Yeah, we've got Shanti Feldhon. She's a social researcher, a best-selling author, a very popular speaker and a return guest here.

She applies analytical skills and investigations and turns those into life-changing truths about relationships.

And we also have Dr. Michael Sitesma here. He's a licensed professional counselor and a certified sex therapist.

Over 30 years of clinical experience and he's also a professor and a national speaker.
