63: Let's Talk About Sex and Submission in Marriage

Friends, it's time we go there. This episode is a response to some comments we have received in a previous episode about what biblical leadership and submission looks like in a marriage. We also chat about what that looks like when it comes to sex and intimacy with your spouse. We encourage both wives and husbands to listen to this together, because we think it will be a benefit to your marriage in some way (maybe get your husbands to skip the life update part as there is mention of some TMI girly stuff!) We want to add a disclaimer that we are not qualified Pastors, Counsellors or Theological Experts on this subject. We are coming to this conversation having wrestled with a lot of these things in our own marriage, looking honestly at what Scripture says and how we can best apply that to our marriages.
