Today’s episode is a convergence of three of my favorite things—I love to talk about marriage, I love to talk about sex in marriage, and I love to talk with my friend Juli Slattery. In this episode, we get to do all three!

Dr. Juli Slattery is a clinical psychologist, author, speaker, and co-founder of Authentic Intimacy. She also hosts a weekly podcast called Java with Juli where she dives into “taboo” questions you’re afraid to ask about intimacy, marriage, singleness, sexual addiction, and more. She’s the author of 12 books including her newest book, titled God, Sex, and Your Marriage.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Some of the “pain points” commonly found related to sex in marriages
• What it looks like to think beyond sexual morality and think about sexual maturity
• How sex is directly connected to God’s covenant love for us
• The four pillars of covenant love and how they can improve your sex life
• Why the valleys of life can often help us increase intimacy in our marriage

This is such an important conversation, and I am eager to share it with you today!
