What happens when biblical truth meets cultural confusion about sex and marriage? In this candid conversation, we unpack the verse "your body is not your own" and the real-life meaning of intimacy in a healthy, God-honoring relationship. After our viral Instagram post on marriage tips, we had to dig deeper into the issue of sexless marriage and being equally yoked as partners. We get vulnerable about how our past challenges had to be overcome, and how we seek the benefit of our spouse as a gift of connection.

You'll Learn:

Intimacy Matters

Don't Weaponize Sex

Your Body Is Not Your Own?

Healing Trauma & Pain

Communicate Through Awkwardness

Practical Ways to Build Closeness

Drawing from our own healing journeys and years of ministry, we offer practical guidance to rebuild the gift of intimacy without shame or confusion.

As always, our prayer is that you experience the abundant life. ~ Dr. Z & Mama Z
