Show notes

As we finish out this series on marital basics and skills, we're discussing the topics of sex and intimacy. The trouble most couples face in this area stems from a misunderstanding of the very nature of their sex life as a couple and the fact that it is, in fact, an area where you're meant to grow and explore and figure out over your lifetimes together. If you've ever felt frustration or disappointment in this area, you're in the right place. Listen and be encouraged!
