#418: What Is Sexual Intimacy Supposed To Look Like in Marriage?

Authentic Intimacy®

Jun 6, 2022

Imagine that you and your spouse are building a jigsaw puzzle, but you don’t know what the picture on the front of the box looks like. Now imagine that you have different ideas of what the picture you’re building should look like, and neither one of you have the right picture—and you’re speaking to each other in different languages. This is how far too many Christian couples experience the “gift” of sex.

But there is good news! God has shown us the picture on the outside of the box—a picture of His covenant love for you. And every single puzzle piece of yours—even those that represent sexual pain—has a place.

#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.
