Hey guys, Ryan here. Just a quick heads up. This episode is sensitive in nature. As with many of these

episodes in our series on sex talks, you want to make sure that any young ears are not within

ear shots. So maybe listen to another time or put some earphones in. Either way, we hope you

enjoy this episode and just wanted to give you that quick warning before it starts enjoy everyone wants a red hot or boiling passionate sex life right

not that it has to always be that way but i think that's kind of the desire, right? Yeah. You don't want just like

not boiling sexy time. I think it's safe to say that, yeah, it's safe to say that most

healthy couples and healthy is a big caveat in there because there could be a lot of reasons why

you don't, you know, you maybe feel like you don't want to get close to your spouse at a given moment.

Yeah.

But if you're in a healthy place, I think it's safe to say that we want to experience passionate. It's a good desire. Intimacy with one another. That's a good thing. Yeah. Now, does it have to happen? You said this. It doesn't have to be like that every time. but there's a good balance

and there's a good appetite for it,

I think, in healthy couples.

And so to that end,

um, said this doesn't have to be like that every time but there's a good balance and there's a good appetite for it I think in healthy couples and so to that end we've been stricken by this idea

we had a interview I think last week with Gary Thomas and Deborah Feleda maybe it's two weeks

ago about their new book Married Sex and one of the topics that we talked about and is discussed

in their book is this idea of sexual simmering and that was something that was new to us and as we heard gary talk about that

and we processed through it in our own lives we realized man this is a really really cool concept

so let's bring this to the podcast let's expand on a little bit let's explain it and that's what we're

going to do today so we will see you on the other side welcome Welcome to the Fierce Marriage Podcast, where we believe that marriage takes

a fierce tenacity that never gives up and refuses to give in. Here we'll share openly and

honestly about all things marriage. Sex, communication, finances, priorities, purpose, and everything
