When polling This Devoted Life Community about the topic of marriage, one of the biggest questions we received was on the topic of intimacy in marriage... specifically when sex drives differ and the frustrations that can arise from that. Out of respect for our marriage, we do not go into any specific details of our own marriage, but we wanted to discuss this topic because it is important for keeping marriages healthy.

Here is what you can expect in this episode:
2:30 – Intro to Topic with Disclaimers
