Marriage Unmasked

Faith, Shame, and Sex: What the Church Taught Us


Listen Later

In this episode of Marriage Unmasked, we’re diving into the complex relationship between religious teaching, shame and sex. 

God intended sex to be a beautiful gift for a husband and wife to enjoy in marriage. However, many of us grew up with unhelpful religious messages about purity, modesty, and what it means to be a "good" Christian in the area of sex. Too often those messages brought deep shame and left us disconnected from our bodies and our desires, often creating unnecessary pain and confusion in the marriage relationship. 

Today, we’re untangling several of these unhelpful religious narratives and reclaiming a healthier perspective on intimacy.
