Pastor Bryan continues our series, Marriage on the Rock, by offering some key ingredients to having great intimacy in marriage.
As we work to change the purity narrative and undo many of its effects, we have to look at some of the continued harm it does to marriages. There's still so much missing in the way Christian couples are taught about marital intimacy. How can Christians celebrate the gift of sex that God gave in marriage? Juli shares a conversation she had with the late Dr. Doug Rosenau, where he shared both what is missing and what is needed in the church when it comes to talking about the beauty of sex in marriage.

What if women's pleasure was a priority, not an afterthought? In this provocative episode, Dr. Diane sits down with Leah Spasova, a psychologist, sex and relationship expert, and founder of Life's Explicit, to explore how society, censorship, and cultural conditioning are keeping women sexually unfulfilled. They uncover why so many women feel disconnected from their own pleasure, how corporate interests profit from dissatisfaction, and what happens when women start reclaiming their sexuality. Plus, we discuss how your sex life impacts your mental health, relationships, and even your career success—and what you can do to change the script. If you've ever felt like your pleasure has been sidelined, this conversation is a must-listen. Want More?

In today's episode, we're talking about how to handle body talk in relationships, and asking “how important is sexual fulfillment in a relationship?” Listeners write in about lowkey despising their best friend's partner, approaching mental health-related topics with their boyfriend and compromising on engagement & marriage timelines.

Kids are not running for public office, enacting laws, litigating policy, or even voting, and yet children often bear the weightiest consequences for the bad policies adults implement. “I get angry when kids are victimized because adults refuse to do the right thing,” says Katy Faust, the founder and president of the pro-children advocacy organization Them Before Us. “It's an injustice at the individual level and at the national level.” If protecting the well-being of children were the first priority of adults in public policy-related decisions, all of society would benefit, Faust contends. Sadly, adults have repeatedly chosen to place their own gratification in marriage, family formation, economic policies, border politics, and so on, ahead of the interests of kids. “Adult-centric policy,” Faust says, is policy that gratifies “adults in the immediate, but then kids have to pay the price.” Take, for example, the issue of marriage. For decades now, phrases like “kids are resilient,” and “children just need love” have been used to justify adult decisions to divorce, cohabit with a partner, or marry a same-sex partner. In reality, these nice phrases are nothing more than permission slips for adult desires to override the interests of children, she says. “Unfortunately, when you see that transformation away from a child-centric understanding of marriage toward an adult-centric understanding of marriage, children are victimized,” she says. In vitro fertilization has recently taken center stage as a major issue in the 2024 presidential election with both Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump declaring their fervent support for the practice. Yet neither candidate acknowledges that thousands of embryos that were created through IVF, and that are fully capable of life, will be put into a freezer and “often don't come out,” Faust says. Faust, the author of a number of books—including her latest, “Pro-Child Politics: Why Every Cultural, Economic, and National Issue Is a Matter of Justice for Children”—joins “Problematic Women” to discuss the ways political agendas consistently harm children in the name of adult gratification.

In this episode of the Dream Marriage podcast, the Dalkes discuss the sexual baggage we bring into our marriages. We all bring sexual baggage into our marriage whether we've had sexual experiences before marriage or not. The Dalkes talk through 4 areas of sexual baggage: the things we've seen, the things we've done, the things that have been done to us, and the things we believe about sex. They bring up important questions such as: Is the pleasure of sex just for men? Or for men and women both? How does sexual baggage affect your sex life in marriage? What are our personal expectations of sex? And where do they derive from? How do you begin to heal from or get free from that baggage so you can experience the freedom that God has for us within the marriage bed? They discuss why communication about sex is vital to a healthy and thriving sex life, and how exploring each other's bodies can be a form of healing from sexual baggage.

Have you ever wondered why we carry certain beliefs about sexuality, or how those beliefs impact our intimate relationships? In a riveting discussion with Dr. Fanny the Baker, an acclaimed sex coach, we unravel the intricate web of sexuality myths and the profound influence of sex education on our perceptions. As we examine the delicate interplay between intimacy and expectations, Dr. Fanny and I illuminate the significance of pleasure, safety, and communication in sexual relationships. You'll discover the importance of pacing and self-awareness in finding satisfaction, especially when chronic illness adds another layer of complexity to the mix.This episode takes an enlightening turn as we venture into the transformative realm of self-consent, unpacking how recognizing your personal boundaries and desires can lead to a richer sexual life. Through the lens of conditions like vulvodynia, we discuss the perils of ignoring discomfort and the pivotal role of internal dialogue in honoring one's physical and emotional needs. We further delve into strategies for fostering trust and safety in conversations with partners, ensuring that the connection remains strong and sincere. When an audience member's question brings the topic of medication and libido to the table, we explore how to balance one's medicinal needs with the pursuit of a fulfilling sex life, challenging societal norms and redefining personal pleasure.

You've probably heard that sex is good for your husband or good for your marriage, but what about you? We share our thoughts on what's so great about sex for WIVES. Listen in! Sponsor Thanks to Married Dance, a Christian sex toy store, for sponsoring this episode. From the Bible So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun. Ecclesiastes 8:15 (NKJV) So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. Genesis 1:27, 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.

Reconciliation After Separation Navigating the road to rekindling a with a husband or wife duringing a separation is a process steeped in patience, comprehension, and unwavering dedication to repairing the partnership. This post presents essential tactics for couples eager to revive their union, underscoring the significance of communication, mutual esteem, and the ability to adapt during this period. Cultivating Positive Exchanges A crucial initial step in reigniting a flame in a marriage post-separation is the cultivation of positive exchanges. Beyond basic dialogue, cultivating positive exchanges is about re-establishing an emotional rapport. This could include activities like revisiting beloved spots, participating in enjoyable pastimes from the past, or simply spending uninterrupted time together to rekindle the connection. Recognizing and celebrating each incremental success in the relationship is vital, as these gestures significantly enhance morale and drive. Given that issues within the marriage have likely been previously addressed, there's less need to fixate on negative discussions. This is why the focus is on “positive” exchanges. The present moment is for healing through straightforward, upbeat interactions that avoid slipping back into disputes or other negative patterns. Jointly engaging in enjoyable activities can further aid in reestablishing a positive connection. Our list of hobbies for married couples may provide some ideas. Committing to and Nurturing Peace in the Marriage Guidance for Reuniting After Separation Emphasizing peace is essential for a harmonious reunion. This entails putting the relationship's health above personal egos or the urge to prevail. It's about seeking solutions that are mutually beneficial and addressing conflicts with a cooperative mindset. This commitment also means practicing empathy, trying to comprehend your partner's perspective, and being ready to make concessions for the relationship's well-being. Peace in a relationship is more than just avoiding conflict; it involves fostering harmony and mutual comprehension. This requires actively practicing patience, kindness, and forgiveness in everyday interactions. Paying attention to conversations that might lead to conflict and learning to defuse them is also critical. Techniques like active listening, fully engaging with your partner's viewpoint, can be highly effective in maintaining peace. Reuniting Under One Roof Deciding to move back in together should be a thoughtful, well-planned decision. It's crucial to establish clear guidelines and boundaries to ensure comfort for both partners in the new living arrangement. Discussions might cover topics like shared responsibilities, personal space, and financial contributions. Treating this step as a collaborative effort ensures that both individuals feel equally involved and respected. Exploring a Traditional Marriage Setup Ideas for Reconnecting After Separation Some couples may find that adopting a traditional marriage structure with defined gender roles helps simplify household dynamics and lessen stress. This involves each partner assuming familiar roles, potentially bringing structure and predictability to the relationship. While this method isn't universally applicable, it can offer stability for many relationships. However, it's important that both partners willingly embrace and adapt these roles, possibly creating a tailored mix that suits their relationship's unique dynamics. Revitalizing the Physical Connection and the Importance of Sexual Fulfillment in Marriage Sexual fulfillment is crucial in a healthy marital bond. Following a separation, it's imperative for couples to physically reconnect in a way that is mutually satisfying. This entails honest communication about sexual needs and a readiness to be attentive to and explore each other's preferences. A fulfilling sexual connection strengthens the emotional tie and is a vital part of intimacy. A robust sexual relationship is based on trust, candor, and ongoing dialogue about preferences and boundaries. Professional support, such as marriage counseling, can be invaluable in addressing deeper concerns related to intimacy and sexual contentment. Implementing a Rule Against Yelling in Conflicts Adopting a no-yelling rule during disagreements is a powerful practice to preserve respect and civility, even in challenging moments. Yelling can exacerbate conflicts and lead to emotional wounds, making effective communication challenging. Instead, agreeing to take breaks during heated moments and resuming discussions when both are calm can foster more respectful and constructive dialogues. A no-yelling policy is about fostering a culture of respect and understanding. Developing emotion-management strategies, like deep breathing, pausing the conversation, or writing down thoughts, can be helpful. The objective is to express emotions in a constructive way, rather than suppress them. Embracing Forgiveness and a New Beginning Forgiveness is essential for moving beyond the issues that led to the separation with your husband or wife. It doesn't imply forgetting what occurred but choosing not to let past grievances define the relationship's future. Mutual forgiveness involves a conscious decision to release resentment and bitterness, allowing a new start. True forgiveness may involve deep introspection, discussions about past hurts, and perhaps the help of a marriage coach or workshop. It's about recognizing the pain, learning from the past, and consciously choosing to move forward without the burden of past grievances. Forgiving oneself is also crucial, as harboring guilt can be as detrimental as clinging to resentment. Conclusion: Navigating Reunion After Separation Reuniting post-separation is a journey demanding concerted effort, insight, and unwavering commitment from both partners. By cultivating positive exchanges, committing to peace, cohabitating again, experimenting with traditional roles, ensuring sexual fulfillment, maintaining respectful communication during disagreements, and embracing forgiveness, couples can rebuild a stronger, more resilient bond. It's crucial to recognize that each couple's journey is unique, and what succeeds for one might not for another. Openness, adaptability, and the willingness to adjust are key to discovering the right formula for a successful reunion. The path to reunion after separation is not just about the desire to come back together; it requires action, commitment, and a readiness to evolve both individually and as a couple. Through deliberate communication, understanding, and patience, couples can emerge from this experience stronger and more deeply connected than before.

Ep 293: How to Achieve True Intimacy for Sexual Fulfillment with Justin and Cresta Burt. Justin and Cresta are a married couple who run a coaching business for other couples called Intentional Marriage Coaching. They strive to coach couples to stop struggling with intimacy and communication, and reconnect with intention to finally live their "happily ever after". In past relationships/marriages, they lacked intimacy and variety, so they now live a life of intimacy in and outside of the bedroom, and they enjoy a very free and healthy sex life. They wanted other couples to have what they have, so with a background in law enforcement and personal experiences under their belts, they set out to help others find what they now have together. They bring the bedroom out in public, bring their box of goodies/sex toys with them when they go out of town, and enjoy frequent fulfilling sex, the kind they both desire. They can discuss anything with each other and mutually decide what kinks and new sexual areas they want to venture into as a couple. But, this isn't just for married people, their advice and tips will help people of any relationship. They emphasized the bedroom needs to be a safe place to talk about sexual things, a place that's safe emotionally and psychologically in addition to physically. They help others foster an environment where each partner can bring up all their "weird" kinks, desires, and wants. They talked about three kinds of sex: fucking, sex/duty sex, and lovemaking, and how all three can take place in one session. They shared tangible ideas for the bedroom, relating to each other intentionally, role play, and even situational examples, plus how important it is to act a certain way inside and outside the bedroom to create intimacy. We talked about how "You should have to wash your lingerie!" rather than just ripping it off... slow down and savor. We had a fabulous discussion!

Thought-Provoking Quotes “What stands out first and foremost about women and sex is that we are so completely objectified from the time we're little. That's the nature of patriarchy, is to objectify women. And we learn to objectify ourselves. I don't know how it is for you, but I know I have forever related to my body as a forever fixer-upper project.”- Dr. Alexandra Solomon “There's an idea that sexiness is defined from the outside in. So in my book, "Taking Sexy Back," that's what we're taking back. We're taking back this idea that sexiness is externally defined. That actually, our “sexy” lives right here inside of us, and it always has. Your sexuality is a part of yourself. It's a part of who you are. It's your embodied relationship with touch and physical expression and pleasure and creativity and play.” - Dr. Alexandra Solomon “There's going to be dry spells. There's going to be mismatched libidos. There's going to be menopause. There's going to be childbirth and job changes and medical diagnoses. Things are going to happen. So I want couples to be together, shoulder to shoulder, looking at the problem together. It's not my problem or your problem. It's us looking at our sexual connection. How do we as a couple cultivate this, nurture it, tweak it over time? Making love as 50-year-olds is going to look and feel different than making love as 23-year-olds.” - Dr. Alexandra Solomon “Recovery from trauma is not just about sexual pain or sadness or post-traumatic stress symptoms stopping. Recovery from trauma is also about reclaiming pleasure, reclaiming your right to pleasure, reclaiming a sense of feeling safe inside of your body. I think our capacity for healing is limitless.” - Dr. Alexandra Solomon “We think that if we're sex positive, it means that we're these super confident vixens and divas, and that we have to be up for anything. But we all struggle with this idea of, "Wait, can I be sex positive and a bit timid? Can I be sex positive and what we would call, quote-unquote, 'vanilla,' or not super interested in being kinky or pushing edges? Sex positivity basically means coming in with the idea that sex is natural and normal, and we're all sexual, and what we're interested in is not weird or pathological. It's coming in from a foundation of positivity.” - Dr. Alexandra Solomon “Sex problems in a relationship are always the responsibility of both people. It's not about figuring out whose fault the issue is. When I bring up a problem or a concern with my partner, it's about “us”. It's about, "I love us, I believe in us, I value us, which is why I want to talk about this question, observation or concern I have." It's not about throwing our partner under the bus or telling them they're doing it wrong. It's about starting from that place of, "I love us, and this matters.” - Dr. Alexandra Solomon “It's important to examine patterns in your own relationship with your sexuality and identify how things from your childhood impact your sexual relationship to yourself and others even 20 years later. Even seemingly simple things like your 6th grade sex-ed class can have an impact.” - Dr. Alexandra Solomon Guest's Links Dr. Solomon's Website Dr. Solomon's Instagram - @dr.alexandra.solomon Dr. Solomon's Twitter - @ahsolomon Dr. Solomon's Facebook - @dralexandrasolomon Dr. Solomon's YouTube - @alexandrahs1 Books & Resources Mentioned in This Episode Reimagining Love Podcast Dr. Solomon's books: Loving Bravely & Taking Sexy Back E-Course: Marriage 101 for the Grown and Sexy Connect with Jen!

My friend Tammy Hill (Adjunct Faculty BYU, LMFT, Noted Speaker and Author, married mother of 12 in a blended family with her husband Jeff) joins us to talk about her groundbreaking new book for Latter-day Saints called “Replenish: Creating Sexual Fulfillment in Marriage, A Guide for LDS Couples”. In the podcast Tammy talks about how the book “is the answer for anyone who has been frustrated by information that is either too vague, too academic, too spiritual, or too pornographic. Providing accurate information and practical application—all within a gospel framework—the book is the perfect guide for couples who desire a fulfilling sexual relationship that replenishes them wit the joy, unity, and oneness that love Heavenly Parents intended.” In the podcast Tammy vulnerability shares some of her own story, why she decided to write the book, what she hopes it will accomplish, and who should read the book. I had several ‘light-bulb' moments as I heard Tammy's concepts to bring more a more positive and proactive framework into sexual intimacy. I encourage everyone (both single and married) to listen to the podcast and check out Tammy's book. It will help you and, if you are a parent, give you better skills to teach your children about sex. Thank you, Tammy, for being on the podcast and your good work!

Intimacy, energy and creativity. These are things most of us crave and they play an integral part in having a fulfilling life and feeling well mentally, spiritually and physically. My guest today is Kim Anami. She is a holistic sex and relationship coach, writer, speaker and vaginal weight lifter and she dedicates her life helping people around the world to reconnect with pleasure. Kim's work is a spiritual synthesis of over two decades of Tantra, Taoism, Transpersonal psychology and philosophy. And her Anami Guarantee is that: “Everyone can. Every woman can have multiple orgasms and every man can have sex for eight hours straight and be able to separate orgasm from ejaculation. They just need the right tools." With her viral media campaigns on the jade egg and vaginal weight lifting, Kim has broken the mainstream “sex censorship” barrier many times over.
