Masturbation is one of the most controversial topics in marriage—especially in conservative or religious circles. In this episode, we're not going to tell you what to believe, but we will offer a new perspective and framework for thinking about it.

Here's what you'll discover:

• The surprising cultural history that shaped Christian attitudes toward masturbation

• Why shame and secrecy often do more harm than the act itself

• How sexuality and spirituality can be integrated instead of at odds

• A simple framework for evaluating any sexual behavior

• Real stories from couples who moved past guilt and found deeper intimacy

Whether you ultimately say yes or no to masturbation in your marriage, this episode will help you replace shame with honest conversation and build safety for true intimacy.
