Q&A: Great Guy. No Sexual Chemistry. Should I Marry Him Anyway?

Authentic Intimacy®

May 27, 2022

Hi Juli, I’ve dated a great man for almost a year. Some days I think attraction is not super important; but other days I look at his photo and think, “I don't want him to touch my body.” Should I marry this wonderful man because the journey of sexual intimacy is going to have disappointments anyway?

In this video, Juli helps you think through physical attraction and how much our culture has influenced your thinking on its importance in marriage.

#313: The Greatest Love Story

From beginning to end the Bible tells a story about marriage. Woven through chapter and verse is a story of covenant love between Jesus (the bridegroom) and the Church (his bride). And it is so important to your Father that you understand this story, that he etched it right into your body (your sexuality). Join Juli and her guest Christopher West for a conversation about how our bodies proclaim the love and redemption of Jesus.
