What Is God-Honoring Marital Intimacy?

About this sermon

In this candid and biblically grounded conversation, Pastor Josh and his wife, Sharon address real questions about sex in marriage. They open by noting that every couple’s situation is unique, and these answers are broad principles rather than one-size-fits-all prescriptions. Topics include how frequently couples should be intimate (emphasizing mutual satisfaction over rigid formulas), the importance of creativity and scheduling when children are older and need constant supervision, and the role of prayer in enhancing sexual intimacy. The conversation also covers the nuances of mutual agreements in marriage, encouraging openness and service rather than grudging obligation. They highlight the importance of staying mentally engaged during intimacy and provide insights for husbands whose wives struggle to believe they are beautiful. Throughout, they emphasize humility, godliness, and mutual edification as the foundation for a thriving sexual relationship. *Join the conversation!* Drop your thoughts and questions in the comments.
