How to Increase Marital Satisfaction with Gary Thomas


Listen Later

Friends! As promised, Gary Thomas is back with us on the show today! Gary is one of my favorite people to interview because he breaks down tricky subjects into conversations we can feel good about. That’s why I love his books so much, too! 

Today, we’re talking about a topic that’s part of many of our lives but not often part of our regular conversations – married . His newest book co-written with Debra Fileta, Married , is a guide for Christian married couples to reimagine their love lives both in and out of the bedroom.

Friends, this is not an episode to listen to with your kids around as Gary and I talk about adult topics, but I believe in sharing conversations that will help you live well. This conversation is a reminder and encouragement that doesn’t have to carry shame with it, and that God designed it for our pleasure. I’m so glad we have authors like Gary who tackle subjects like this and hold space for conversations that can feel challenging to explore.

Gary Thomas is a bestselling author and international speaker whose ministry brings people closer to Christ and closer to others. He unites the study of Scripture, church history, and the Christian classics to foster spiritual growth and deeper relationships within the Christian community.

Listen in to learn about:

  1. Why is so difficult to talk about for people who grew up in the Church
  • What God intended to be like for women (spoiler alert: it’s not always about the man)
  • Three hallmarks of a healthy life and relationship according to Gary’s research
