It's complicated: Dysfunction, Hurt/Bitterness, Addiction, Moral failure, Health (physical or mental), Divorce, Hardship Not knowing how to deal with “It's complicated” not only leaves us stuck, it leaves us stuck in a place that continues to create damage. ● Ignore ● Pretend ● Blame When we eventually end up in “it's complicated” how do we actually get unstuck? The modern take was supposed to be the ultimate path to our best life Unfortunately, the research and science proves the opposite Just because something is “good” doesn't mean it erases the damage of misuse How do we get unstuck when we eventually end up in “it's complicated”? Feeling stuck in marriage can cause us to feel separated from God A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, "If you are willing, you can make me clean." Mark 1:40-42 Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured. Mark 1:40-42 Jesus is NOT repulsed Jesus is NOT ashamed Jesus is NOT begrudging Jesus is NOT unable Jesus wholeheartedly steps into our mess out of His great love for us God's ‘unstuck' plan: We Acknowledge the problem We Admit our part We Alter our actions God's grace and goodness allows us to address ‘it's complicated' instead of settling for avoidance which only keeps us stuck.

When our expectations of sex come from fiction and not reality, we end up disappointed and frustrated. The messiness of real life is no match for the illusion of media. “Intimacy is key to having a healthy, functional and overall happy relationship.” John Hopkins - Chris Kraft, Ph.D., director of clinical services at the Sex and Gender Clinic “Our prediction models establish intimacy as the main predictor of sexual satisfaction.” Your Sexual Medical Journal Intimacy includes: ● Relational ● Physical ● Emotional Therefore, to help make your sex life better and more satisfying, focus on the following: #1 Increase general relationship satisfaction... …how both partners feel about the relationship overall impacts their feelings of sexual satisfaction as well… Given that, spending some time improving your relationship in other areas can benefit you in the bedroom. Psychology Today Don't weaponize scriptures or sex to manipulate and guilt another for self-gratification. Relational: Without intentionality and boundaries, we can give all our time and energy away and leave nothing for our spouses. Planned For – Say, No “In terms of how their sex life could be improved, people say they're looking for more love and romance, more quality time alone with their partner, more fun, and less stress.” Verywell Mind “There is strong evidence to suggest that relationship factors and dynamics contribute to a large portion of the overall variance in sexual satisfaction scores” University of Texas Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”… …Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean.” John 13:8 & 9-10 Physical Orgasm gap (90% men & 48% female) Regularity (snack, meal, feast) Communication “…only 28% of women can have an orgasm from penetrative sex alone. “For a lot of women, they need direct clitoral stimulation in order to have an orgasm.”… …“Women have the same kind of erectile tissues as men, but all on the inside, woman need a lot of time for that stuff to come into play…After 15 to 20 minutes of foreplay,” ABC.net - 9/17 Gigi Engle is a feminist author, certified sex coach, sexologist, and sex educator. Gigi was nominated for a WEGO Health Award for her science-first sex, women's health, and relationships content. "More than half of women reported they had wanted to communicate with a partner regarding sex but decided not to; the most common reasons were not wanting to hurt a partner's feelings…” Verywell Mind The husband should fulfill his wife's sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband's needs… …The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife. 1st Corinthians 7:3-5 Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. 1st Corinthians 7:3-5 Emotional Intimacy requires feeling valued! (Female & Male) Females & Males generally feel valued differently It's different for me (fair feeling/unfair excuse) Female: Being “for me” outside the bed confirms you're for me in the bed. Male: Being “for me” in the bed confirms you're for me outside the bed. “Interestingly, both men and women rate sex with love feelings as more sexually satisfying on average.”… …”While sexual desire may not be as intense as a couple moves into the attraction stage, having more meaningful sex (and dopamine-charged) becomes much more satisfying.” PsychCentral: Dr. Nicole Prause Sharing chores is the third-highest factor in successful marriages — behind fidelity and a happy sex life. University of Chicago “Committed relationships make women almost twice as likely to climax” Women's Health University of Chicago study Marriage is to be honored by all, and husbands and wives must be faithful to each other. Hebrews 3:4 A healthy marriage with intimate sex requires love, mutuality, selflessness, and God-given boundaries.

Scientific Evidence: Sexual activity in America at 30yr low 1 out 5 marriages are ‘sexless' 1 out 2 (15yr–24yr olds) will have an STD Sky rocketing sexual dysfunction 43% women/31% men Pornography Epidemic 69% men/40% women Science has proven, “IT'S JUST SEX” is a lie. Biologically Physiologically Emotionally Mentally Spiritually SEX: is more than vaginal intercourse Any mental or physical activity taken to invoke erotic or sensual gratification Oxford Academic: The brain's role as the ‘master organ' governing sexual function Scientific America: Far from being a simple issue of hormones, sexual desire and orgasm are subject to various influences on the brain Psychology Today: So much of sex occurs in our brains “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.' But I say, anyone who even looks at a ‘person' with lust has already committed adultery with ‘them' in their heart.” - Matthew 5:27-28 A dumbed-down definition of sex will derail our dream for a “great sex life” God Designed Sex: - To Be Pleasurable - To Have A Purpose - Sacredness Protects During orgasm the brain releases a cocktail of neurotransmitters that boost feelings of happiness and relaxation (dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin). Brain scans reveal that an orgasm has the same reward pathways as a heroin rush. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love…His left hand is under my head, and his right hand caresses me….Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. - Song of Songs 2:3-7 God Designed Sex: - To Be Pleasurable - To Have a Purpose - Sacredness Protects Sex, including casual sex, causes the brain to release neurotransmitters, which makes us feel more emotionally tied to a person. Basically, you're biologically wired to attach to any sexual partner… - Women's Health Medical Institute for Sexual Health: Oxytocin is released regardless of who the sexual partner is which can cause a woman to bond and trust a man even after a one-night stand. That bond/trust explains why it can be so painful emotionally when sexually active people break-up. Vasopressin occurs during an intimate physical relationship and cannot distinguish between right and wrong. We cannot separate the brain from the body. What our body does has a dramatic impact on our brain. “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.' ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh.” - Mark 10:6-7 God Designed Sex: - To Be Pleasurable - To Have a Purpose - Sacredness Protects Medical Institute for Sexual Health: But we do know that sex can literally change a person's brain, influencing the thought process and affecting future decisions. When sex is experienced in unhealthy ways, at the wrong time, it can damage vital aspects of who we are as human beings. …studies have shown that having multiple premarital sex partners is negatively associated with marital quality and stability. Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. - 1st Corinthians 6:18 Understanding God's purpose and design for sex reveals a sacredness that can protect us from misusing sex!

TRUE LOVE'S MAGIC: - Effortless serving & sacrifice - Erases painful conflict - Excuses apathy and accountability - Encompasses total fulfillment - Euphoric sex & romance The myth of ‘true love' leads to this lie: I'm wrong for them or they're wrong for me What does ‘true love' look like in the real world? Loved by another Romantic attention Sexual satisfaction Just because something is “good” doesn't mean it erases the damage of misuse What does ‘true love' look like in the real world? Philia – deep friendship Storge – family love Eros – sexual passion Agape – selfless love (God's) Without “agape love” at the core we will selfishly misuse all other types of love For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16 Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end. - John 13:1 …So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had around him. - John 13:4-5 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.” - John 15:12-13 True LOVE requires the hard work of being selfless We can't give what we don't have Love doesn't dismiss different it embraces it Love is a decision ‘to do' despite our feelings Receiving God's true love in Jesus allows us to pass-on what we don't naturally have

What is one of the greatest threats to our fulfilment of love, romance, and sex? Single – Married – Complicated Desire: Love – Romance Sex Fulfilment: Love – Romance – Sex Choosing the path of self-gratification sabotages our hopes for fulfilment. Failure is NOT final! God's grace & love has the power to redeem every area of our lives. What path leads to fulfilment without damaging our dreams? Don't throw the baby out with bathwater In our passion to rid ourselves of something unwanted and harmful, don't accidently get rid of something valuable and important to ourselves. God's path to healthy fulfilment in love, romance, and sex is purity. Purity distorted: Culture – Boring & No Fun Church – Legalistic & Shameful Purity is not just do's and don'ts It's a heart posture of honor and selflessness “Don't you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? For it doesn't go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” - Mark 7:18-23 “For it is from within, out of A PERSON'S HEART, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.” - Mark 7:18-23 “And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” - John 13:34 Using something made to be selfless in a selfish way just becomes exploitation. 1. Surrender to God's version of good, not our own 2. See all people as image-bearers not objects of wants 3. Serve one another without weaponizing legitimate needs Trusting God's goodness and boundaries through obedience protects us from the trap of self-gratification that harms fulfilment

All our romantic wishes deserve to be met Sex is only physical, it's disconnected from our emotions, hearts, and souls Love is whatever we want it to be, so trust your feelings Modern Take: Historically low marriage rates (30yr old avg) 5 Million people sex trafficked 1 out 4 women sexual assaulted 1 out of 2 15yr–24yr olds STD 7.1 billion visits in month OnlyFans 70 million - child pornography How do we not get misled by either the church or culture? Just because something is “good” doesn't mean it erases the damage of misuse Half-truths often create the most powerful lies Going to the Original Source is the best place to find the truth Half Truths: Make a part the whole Freedom equals no boundaries Desire dictates behavior “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?” - Matthew 6:25 Half Truths: We make a part the whole Freedom equals no boundaries Desire dictates behavior Jesus said to them, “I am telling you the truth: everyone who sins is a slave of sin.” - John 8:34 True freedom isn't the lack of boundaries, it's the absence of being bound to unwanted consequences Half Truths: We make a part the whole Freedom equals no boundaries Desire dictates behavior …when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires… - Ephesians 4:20-22 Half Truths: We make a part the whole Freedom equals no boundaries Desire dictates behavior God's wisdom and truth helps us avoid the myth that misusing good won't cause damage and dysfunction.

What do you do when you ask God for something and he says no? Or you feel like He isn't listening? As we wrap up Summer Camp Romance, we dive into the importance of trust in any relationship, but particularly our relationship with God. Even in the waiting, Jesus is our hope.

You've probably heard the story where Jesus says it's "easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for the rich to enter the kingdom of God." But what if he wasn't JUST talking about money? As we hear from Pastor Brennan Washington, we all have something we're reluctant to let go of. A job, status, hobbies, addictions, or yes, money. Obedience to God can be uncomfortable, but it's worth the cost.

In Church we hear the term "redeemed" all the time, but what does it actually mean? As we continue our trip through the book of Hosea, we see where this comes from. God has literally purchased us from sin, so we should act like we have the value that was spent for our lives!

Disney has given us countless classics that show the beauty of falling in love, but that's where the fairytale usually ends. We rarely get to see the process of staying in love, and often times that can also be missing in our walk with Jesus. As we start our new Summer Camp Romance series, we look into how we turn a moment into a real relationship.
