In this episode - we talk about sexual intimacy post-betrayal.  Here are just a couple of the things we discuss:

- Allow it to be wonky and work toward decreasing the pressure to make this part of the relationship perfect - as I (Shelley) mention in the podcast - let it be life work.

- We discuss frequency - should it be every 72 hours?  What about depriving one another (see 1 Corinthians 7:5)?

- Triggers for him and for her when engaging in sexual intimacy.

Ultimately - it’s important to think of sexual intimacy as an opportunity for us to redefine in a healthy way what is most important.  It’s not to be transactional, it’s not just to get it done - it’s to be caring, loving, and a celebration of the greater intimacy we share with our spouse.

We are so glad YOU are here, thanks for joining us!
