Becoming Whole

The Integrity of Sex

Sex is more than an act. It’s more than a bandaid, more than a habit, more than an excuse.

Consider this - one of your deepest needs and desires is to be fully seen, fully known, and fully loved.

A bandaid or habit can’t fulfill that kind of need. There is more to sex.  In this episode, we’ll hear how to appreciate God’s design for the relational dynamic sex offers a husband and wife. 
As you’re doing the work towards sexual integrity, it’s important to also understand the integrity of sex. 

Highlights:

We tend to treat sex as a separate entity. God’s heart for sex is that it is part of a relationship between husband and wife.

Through sex, husbands and wives can give themselves as a self-gift for the good of the other.

One of our deepest needs, one of our deepest desires is to be seen; to be completely seen and completely loved.

Homework:

• Instead of seeking to feel good, can you seek to have really great connection with your wife or with your husband?

• Try asking your spouse these questions and then let them ask you:
When we are together physical, do you feel seen by me?
Are there parts of you that are hard to bring to our intimacy?
