Married sex is more like a Lego set than a Tonka truck.

You know, Tonka truck, you take it out of the box, you play with it, you're good to go.

A Lego set, the fun is putting it together, but the time comes very soon when you have to tear it apart and put it back together again.

Because the sex life that served you prior to having children may not work once you do have children may not

work when you reach middle age and so just having that understanding then you don't freak out when

you realize hey we used to be so excited and fulfill each other and now it's taking a little bit of work that's to be so excited and fulfill each other. And now it's taking a little bit of work.

That's to be expected.

And that, of course, is the voice of legendary Gary Thomas, who we interviewed today with

Deborah Faleta.

So they have co-written a book called Married Sex.

Yep.

It just released.

And it just released two days ago. It couldn't be more timely for the series that we're going through on the podcast. We're talking about sex and intimacy and all the issues surrounding it. We're going to be asking and answering, hopefully, or providing wisdom around some really hard questions in this area. And so today is just a true treat. I couldn't imagine a better pair to interview for this month

on sex and intimacy.

Definitely in the midst of greatness, I feel like. And just an extra word of caution here,

you probably saw the title of this episode and we're like, yeah, let's listen to it.

However, if you have little ears that are within earshot, you may want to just make them out of earshot, however that needs to happen,

whether you plug in your headphones or, yeah, just not listen to it in the car with little ears.

You've been warned.

You've been warned, yes.

So in this talk, a few of the things that I really love, we talked about simmering sexually.

Something along those lines is just extremely enlightening for me
