In today's episode, Francie discusses what it's like to talk about sex together. If it's hard to talk about intimacy in your marriage, maybe there's a deeper level of heart work that God wants to do. If it's painful to talk about because of shame or abuse, listen to the Holy Spirit and stop and get help in terms of counseling.

This is a slow process.

Ways to talk about sex:

-find books about it

-use a game or a playful approach

-practice what you read

-build trust with your words

- use code words
