| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, this is Francie Winslow on the Heaven in Your Home podcast. Today we're |
| 0:10.6 | going to talk about how sex can pave the way for emotional intimacy. Before we get too far, |
| 0:15.8 | I'd love to start with a prayer. Father, thank you so much for the way that you guide us and you teach us and you |
| 0:22.6 | lead us. Thank you for the gift of marriage and the gift of our bodies and the gift of gender |
| 0:27.2 | and sexuality and how it all points us to you. Father, I pray for an unveiling continually of our |
| 0:33.8 | eyes and our hearts and our minds to see your good design on our bodies and to see how it |

| 1:42.3 | that doesn't end. A community of knowing and being known and this place of oneness and love and connection and intimacy that doesn't end, a community of knowing and being known, |
| 1:45.8 | and this place of oneness and love and connection. |
| 1:49.6 | And when we separate sex from emotional connection, and we only make it about the body |
| 1:56.0 | and about satisfying a sexual drive, we take out part of the beauty that God designed to be intertwined |
| 2:05.1 | with it, which is a physical connection as well as a soul, emotional, spiritual connection |
