We recognize that sex can be a sensitive topic due to the varied experiences people have had.  We address this topic based on God’s design for sex as given in His Word.  Sex is a good gift given to us by our Creator and is intended to be enjoyed by one man and one woman inside a committed, covenant marriage.

In this episode we also discuss how we have talked with our kids about sex.  For us, we start the conversations early.  The first one to the line, gets to set the bar.  The first one to present the idea gets to set the standard of what is good, healthy and right.  We want our children to know God’s best so they can more easily identify man’s lies on a screen or through locker room chatter.

We close out this season with words of wisdom to our children relating to sex and relationships. 

In the coming weeks and months, we will turn our attention to our sister podcast, The Journey Podcast, so make sure you check that out!

Bible verses referenced in this episode: 

“Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”
Genesis 2:24 ESV

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.  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. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan won’t be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control.  I say this as a concession, not as a command.  But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another.  So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows—it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am.  But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust.
1 Corinthians 7:3-9 NLT

In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.
1 Peter 3:7 NLT
