Christian Sex: What Every Couple Needs to Know for a Happy, Healthy Christian Marriage Bed
After 25 years of marriage, I’m convinced one of the most under-discussed topics in marriage is Christian sex.
This shouldn’t be! We should have more to say than anyone else, because God is the author of sex. Sadly, when we refuse to talk about healthy sexuality, we allow the world’s voice to be the authority on the subject.
Not good.
I frequently get questions from readers about the topic of Christian sex, so decided to do a series on healthy Christian sexuality. I will add more posts to this page as they are published.
So go ahead and inspire your marriage bed and get your questions answered below with this round up of resources and information on healthy Christian sexuality!
