This question came from a reader, and is an important one for parents:
"I love your message of sexual integrity and sexual discipleship. But it’s still new to me, and I’m processing it. I was never taught this message of sexuality and suffered through a bad marriage, committed adultery, and eventually got a divorce. I’ve remarried and we have a son who is 15. How do I ...
Sometimes what is happening in the world overwhelms my “to do” list. Today feels like one of those days. This blog post isn’t about intimacy, relationships, or sexuality. It’s about the brokenness we all see all around us.
As children and teenagers, our spiritual and political leaders loom larger than life. We generally believe that their experience and education hav...
This question is from a parent, and it’s a very common one:
"What information would you have for parents who are looking to address masturbation? Our 13-year-old daughter has recently admitted to touching herself and I want to be sensitive to the matter—not shame her, but to have a conversation about it. What do you recommend?"
Dear Juli,
I’m the mom of two teenage girls. I know I need to talk to them about sex but honestly, I don’t know where to begin. My sex life is a mess. My husband and I have relied on porn in our marriage for years. I have abuse in my past that I’ve never dealt with. I feel so messed up in my own life … how can I possibly help my daughters?
One of the greatest barr...
This question comes from a wife:
"My husband has had sexual partners before me, but he has been my only sexual partner. He has suggested I watch videos to learn more about sex. I don't want to do that, but what should I do?"
I’ve heard a lot of people comment that life right now feels like the movie “Groundhog Day”—the same thing over and over again with no end in sight. While there are blessings in having our lives slow down, there are also tensions and frustrations that overflow out of our hearts through our mouths and onto the people we really want to show love. Your spouse, your children...
This question is one that's becoming more and more common:
"I have transgender friends that are unsaved. So, is it okay to call them by their preferred pronouns and names?"
Are you feeling stuck in your home and in your sex life? Think back to the last time you left your house: It could possibly have been four or five weeks! And most likely it has been even longer since you and your spouse went out for a date night.
When my husband and I were newlyweds, we committed to weekly date nights. Every Thursday night we spent time together—sometimes we dressed u...
Life in 2020 is filled with concerns about health, jobs, and the economy. Yet your most worrisome problem right now might not be your 401k, but your marriage.
God created marriage to be the ultimate experience of human unity, two people becoming one. But surely there is a limit to how close two human beings should exist, right? With quarantines and “shelter-in-place” orders, you ...
I’m thrilled to introduce the Authentic Intimacy community to our new Director of Discipleship, Joy Skarka. Joy brings not only education and experience, but also her own story of transformation from sexual bondage to freedom in Christ. —Juli
