In today’s episode, Francie discusses what it’s like to talk about sex together. If it's hard to talk about intimacy in your marriage, maybe there’s a deeper level of heart work that God wants to do. If it’s painful to talk about because of shame or abuse, listen to the Holy Spirit and stop and get help in terms of counseling.
This is a slow process.
Ways to talk about sex:
-find books about it
-use a game or a playful approach
-practice what you read
-build trust with your words
- use code words

| 0:00.0 | In the beginning, God had a garden dream. He had such a profound love to share with the world he made |
| 0:12.0 | that he imprinted his beautiful nature on the body of a man and a woman. He called them good, |
| 0:19.7 | then commissioned them to become one flesh, to live meaningful, |
| 0:24.4 | powerful, purposeful lives together from a place of loving oneness. While things have gotten pretty |
| 0:32.3 | off course in the world since then, Jesus came to reconnect us back to God's divine design of intimacy, to reform our hearts, |
| 0:42.9 | relationships, and loves, to bring heaven to earth, starting right in our homes and right in our |
| 0:50.6 | bedrooms. I'm Francie Winslow. Welcome to the Heaven in Your Home podcast. |
| 0:55.8 | As a wife and mom of six, I long to dive deep, theologically and practically, into what |
| 1:02.4 | this possibly could mean for our hearts, our marriages, our bedrooms, and beyond, starting in the |
| 1:09.1 | most intimate places, flowing to the most public spaces. |
| 1:13.2 | We are asking God to renew our vision of his plan for sex, marriage, and heaven coming through it all. |
| 1:21.3 | And I have to tell you, friends, it's more beautiful, more meaningful, and more powerful than we may have ever been told. It's good news. I'm so glad you're here with me. |

| 1:45.8 | to the previous episodes where we talked about scripturally how we are image bearers and |
| 1:51.3 | there is incredible power in our words. And the next episode I talked about how we can ask a really |
| 1:58.4 | specific question and kind of take a step back from the five love |
| 2:01.6 | languages in general and narrow down our focus to specifically how does your spouse need to hear |
| 2:08.8 | words from you and what words does your spouse need to hear from you in this season because |
| 2:15.4 | our words can be incredibly powerful to impart life |
| 2:18.4 | and hope and healing and to build up the intimacy of our marriage. |
| 2:22.6 | But how he might hear love and intimate encouragement might be different than how you need |
