Podcast appearances and mentions of christian wives

If you're a wife who loves God and loves your husband, but you're wondering… Why don't I want sex? Why does my husband want it more than I do? Am I broken for not desiring intimacy? …you're in the right place. We want to remind you that you are not broken. You're not alone. And God isn't disappointed in you. In this conversation, we sit down with the incredible Dr. Juli Slattery—clinical psychologist, author of 14 books, and founder of Authentic Intimacy—to talk about real struggles Christian wives face around intimacy, low desire, and how to walk toward healing with God's help. What Causes Low Sex Drive in Christian Wives? This is one of the most common issues I hear from women: “My husband wants it more. I feel bad. I don't know why I don't want it. Help.” Dr. Slattery shares that many wives don't have a lower drive—just a different kind. Men typically have what's called an initiating drive, while women often have a responsive drive. That means she doesn't feel desire until after closeness begins. That's normal! But sometimes, low desire is more complex. Some deeper causes may include: Past sexual trauma (even from within marriage) Body image issues and insecurity Pain during sex or hormonal changes (like menopause) A lack of emotional safety or unresolved conflict Shame from upbringing or purity culture Misunderstandings about what sex is really for Often, it's not one thing—it's several. That's why this isn't a quick fix. It's a journey of healing and understanding. And most importantly—it's not your fault. What Does God Say About Sex in Marriage? We often assume a great sex life just means “compatibility.” But as Juli beautifully shared: “Great sex isn't about compatibility. It's about growing in unselfish love.” And that's biblical. God designed marriage and sexual intimacy to reflect His covenant love: faithful, intimate, sacrificial, and joy-filled. When we chase after that picture—His heart for sex—it brings healing, safety, and even delight. Here are the 4 pillars of covenant sex that Juli teaches: Faithfulness – Can your spouse trust you emotionally and physically? Intimate Fellowship – Are you open with each other in heart and spirit? Sacrificial Love – Are you serving each other instead of demanding? Passionate Celebration – Is sex a space for joy and rejoicing? “I Want to Want Sex… But I Don't.” What Should I Do? If that's your heart cry, there's hope. Juli and I walked through several gentle, practical steps to help you move forward: 1. Pray—Every Day Invite God into this part of your life. Juli prayed for months before even telling her husband. God cares. He will meet you here. 2. Start with What You Do Want Maybe you don't want intercourse—but you'd like to cuddle. Or feel safe naked. Or be able to enjoy touch again. That's a great start. 3. Change the Inner Narrative Rather than thinking, “I have to,” begin gently rehearsing, “I want to enjoy closeness. I want to connect with the man I love.” 4. Use Physical Support Tools like organic lubricants, non-intercourse intimacy, or vibrators (with agreement) can be helpful. Give yourself permission to explore. 5. Communicate with Your Husband If he's safe, loving, and kind—invite him into this healing journey with you. Let him support your heart, not just seek pleasure. But Isn't It Selfish to Focus So Much on Sex? That's a valid concern—especially for Christians. But here's what Juli shared that really struck me: “God designed sex to bless both husband and wife. This isn't just about serving him—it's about your healing, too.” Sex is not just physical. It's emotional. Spiritual. It touches the most tender parts of our story. If you're avoiding it completely, it might be time to gently ask: What wounds need healing? What lies am I believing? This is not about becoming a sex expert—it's about becoming whole. A Christian Wife's Invitation to Intimacy Whether you've been married 3 years or 30, God's not done with this part of your journey. Even if sex has been painful, shame-filled, or complicated… He can redeem it. Even if you feel distant, numb, or uninterested… He can awaken new joy. You're not “less than.” You're not “too late.” You're not “too much.” You're beloved. And intimacy can become a gift again.

I'm addressing the connection between religion, culture, and sexual pain, specifically, why certain communities struggle more with pleasure, vaginismus, and painful intercourse. If you grew up in a conservative or religious environment where sex was shrouded in shame or secrecy, this one's for you. I'm breaking down some myths, discussing the impact of purity culture, and most importantly, helping you reclaim pleasure, confidence, and connection in your relationships. Whether you're a Christian wife, a Muslim woman, or from a culture where sex is taboo, this conversation is about embracing healing and sexual liberation without abandoning your values. Send me a DM on Instagram about a topic you'd like me to talk about on the podcast! If you're to achieve pain free sex and fearless PIV, then I can help you get there in as little as 2-3 months with our virtual 8 week coaching program!

From the Bible Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.1 Corinthians 6:9–11 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,     so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west,     so far has he removed our transgressions from us.Psalm 103:11–12 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (not Acts 2:38 or John 3:16...though those are great too!) But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:20–24 You turned my wailing into dancing;     you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.     Lord my God, I will praise you forever.Psalm 30:11–12 Resources Episode 194: Creative Timing (Quickie) - Sex Chat for Christian Wives 5 Times of Day to Make Love - Hot, Holy & Humorous Why She's Too Busy to Have Sex - Knowing Her Sexually (for husbands) Episode 122: Self-Care for Wives - Sex Chat for Christian Wives Episode 191: What Is Sexual Betrayal and How Can You Address It? - Sex Chat for Christian Wives Episode 18: How Will I Ever Trust My Partner, Again? - Hope For Wives Rebuilding Intimacy in Marriage (When Trust Has Been Damaged) - Hot, Holy & Humorous Episode 185: Women's Freedom from Porn, with Juli Slattery & Joy Skarka - Sex Chat for Christian Wives The Intimacy Pyramid Approach Your Sex Life Like It's a Jigsaw Puzzle - Honeycomb & Spice Episode 141: How to Do Oral Sex - Sex Chat for Christian Wives Is It Okay to Say No? - Hot, Holy & Humorous The Back Door (my take on anal sex) • Bonny's Oysterbed7 Is Anal Sex Okay? - Hot, Holy & Humorous Why Don't Men Fess Up About Having the Lower Drive? - Hot, Holy & Humorous Episode 133: How to Talk to Your Husband About Sex - Sex Chat for Christian Wives Our Speaking, Coaching & Communities Learn more about J Speaking to Your Group J's Higher Desire Wife Community Contact Bonny about Speaking Learn more about Coaching with Bonny Chris's Intimacy Mentoring Preorder THE HIGHER DESIRE WIFE (J.

Welcome to the Summer Lovin' Series, where we are taking some of the most beloved episodes and bringing you a mix of equipping you with a mix of mindset, mentoring and practicals to help you see the goodness of God in your bedroom and your body. Are you tuned into your female body? Often, even bringing up the topic of the clitoris or vagina can cause Christian women to shut down. As Bonny shares, when you have education about something, it becomes less scary. And, yet, most women don't have much understanding of their genitalia. Bonny breaks down the science and the scriptures to give you permission to know your body and understand how your amazing female body works. In this chat we talk about anatomy, desire, low drives/high drives, growth mindset, loving your female body, arousal, orgasm, communication and shifting gears toward more mutual satisfaction in the bedroom and so much more. Bonny is the mentor we all want on these topics. More about Bonny Burns: Bonny Burns works to empower the wife with low sexual interest, little sex drive, and possibly a sexless marriage through science, scripture, and stories.  She writes at oysterbed7.com and podcasts at Sex Chat for Christian Wives.

In this episode, Zhara welcomes guest Nicole Kenwood-Brown to discuss the topic of manipulating pain for purpose. Nicole shares her personal journey of being a self-sacrificial lamb and the challenges she faced in finding balance and prioritizing herself. She emphasizes the importance of self-identity in marriage and the need to become a different person to attract a different version of your spouse. Nicole also highlights the role of research, creating a vision plan, and shifting focus from marriage to personal growth and God's plan. The episode concludes with a discussion on the impact of this transformation on the marriage and the spouse's reaction. TakeawaysPersonal growth is essential in a relationship, and partners should support each other's growth.It is important to adjust to and embrace the different versions of your partner as they grow.Being a supportive partner does not mean being responsible for your partner's emotional balance.Maintaining a balance between openness and privacy in marriage is crucial.Chapters Markers00:35 Meet the Host and Dive into the First Episode01:55 Introducing Guest Nicole Kenwood Brown02:35 Nicole's Personal Journey and Challenges03:56 Understanding the Role of Self-Sacrifice in Relationships07:29 Navigating Pain and Finding Purpose07:49 The Impact of Personal Growth on Marriage13:50 The Importance of Personal Growth and Accountability18:24 Nicole's Journey to Healing and Self-Discovery21:42 Understanding the Dynamics of Relationships27:08 Nicole's Offerings and Resources28:48 Addressing Listener Questions31:28 Wrapping Up the ConversationConnect with Nicole Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicoleakenwood?igsh=N204b2YwM2k1cWFtNicole's Book :  https://amzn.to/3SYNP75Connect the Host Follow Zhara on Instagram @ zhara.marie - https://www.instagram.com/zhara.marie?igsh=cDdiaGtrODRpcmtr&utm_source=qrFollow our podcast page @beyondthebouquetpod - https://www.instagram.com/zhara.marie?igsh=cDdiaGtrODRpcmtr&utm_source=qr

Hey, wife friend   this is Zhara  and I am absolutely thrilled to welcome you to Beyond the Bouquet. Oh my goodness, it has been a dream of mine and you guys know that I like to start things and sometimes just kind of chicken out. But I really am excited to bring this podcast to you for those who don't know me.I am an entrepreneur. Sometimes I'm a lawyer. That's kind of like what I went to school for. I did go to law school. I do practice a lot sometimes. Anyways, but I'm a Christian creative and most importantly, a wife just like you. I've created this space for wives beyond the glitz and glamor of the wedding day, because the truth is there's a lot of conversation around engagement.There's a lot of conversation around the wedding, around the honeymoon, people ready to ask for tips for the first night and stuff like that, but just not enough conversation around what happens afterwards. Beyond the Bouquet is really about those unspoken moments after the divorce. Sure, the things around the honeymoon and things around the wedding are important, but what about the beautiful, the messy, the downright hilarious journey  that follows?And that's what we're really, we're really going to be diving into. So in this podcast, I envision it to be a podcast where we have heart to heart conversations with wives from different walks of life. And together we learn, and together we learn to become better versions of ourselves. I have always been very passionate about that on the online space.I want anybody who comes in contact with anything that I create to leave better than they came, right? Including myself. Because whatever I'm doing, don't, don't worry. I'm doing this for you guys. I'm serving you, but I'm right back on it. So let me in on this.  And I mean, as together, we learned to navigate some of the complexities of married life with grace.We want to navigate with humor. We want to, cause you know,  we have to laugh. We have to navigate it with wisdom. And together we will thrive. We're going to keep it transparent. We're going to keep it harmonious. We're going to keep it real. We're going to keep it inspirational. We're going to keep it vibrant and we're going to keep it empowered. Now let's talk a little bit about you, our fabulous listeners.  Whether you're an aspiring wife dreaming about the day, a newlywed, or someone with years of wifehood under their belt, seasoned, this podcast is really for you. We're covering it all. From the quirky stories in the bedroom to the ins and outs of your career.We're covered. We're going to be talking about everything. When I say everything, I mean everything, from the quirky stories in the bedroom to the ins and outs of your career, sprinkled with a bit of therapy and healing, setting boundaries, mastering communication, exploring faith, and everything in between.No stone will be left uncovered because we're going to be talking to people from all different walks of life. And all of us, we are going through something. You get me? Like everybody, I got through it. Nobody is perfect. And as we learn, From each other, we will share, right? I strongly believe that each session will edify me and my hope is that it edifies you as well.

In this third part of our three-part series on how we have to navigate our way through this a bit differently as Christian wives of alcoholics we are talking about the shame and isolation that can make its way into our lives. We can begin to feel like we have nowhere to turn, and that we can't even talk to anyone at our church in a lot of cases, which keeps us in hiding. Because of this we often feel like there is no support system for us as Christian wives of alcoholics. So please tune in as I discuss how this plays out, and what we can do about it. ------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: This podcast is pre-recorded, so not all offers mentioned/listed will be currently available.

This is the second episode in a three-part series about how this journey as the wife of an alcoholic is different for us as women of faith. In this episode I talk about how we can encounter some confusion around our faith. I'll also discuss the other types of difficult feelings we can come up against where our faith is concerned, and what to do with those feelings. This is an important one. Please tune in. ------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: This podcast is pre-recorded, so not all offers mentioned/listed will be currently available.

This episode begins a three-part series on navigating your husband's addiction as a Christian wife. I feel that we come up against some additional challenges when we are in this position as a woman of faith, and I think it's important to talk about those challenges. In this episode I will discuss balancing forgiveness and empathy with boundaries. This can be a tricky line to walk, so I hope this episode sheds some helpful light on the subject for you. ------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: This podcast is pre-recorded, so not all offers mentioned/listed will be currently available.
