EP19: April Larson | A Conversation About Biblical, Married Sex & Mid-Life

Did you know that culture wants us to think that marriage is where sex goes to die? When actually people don’t reach their sexual prime until their 40’s, 50’s, & beyond!  How encouraging is that?   April and I dig deep into exposing the lies of what the world tells us about married sex and what is actually true. What does God say about sex?  What does biblical sex look like? How can praying for your sex life can change your world?  God’s plan for sex in a marriage is better than anything we could have thought up on our own! Scripture affirms that sex in marriage is not only God’s plan but also a beautiful gift that is ours for the taking and one to be enjoyed throughout our married lives.     We’ve both been married to our husbands for 20+ years so we have a lot of years under our belts that we hope can encourage and empower women that have been or are in similar situations as we’ve encountered.  April & I are vulnerable and share our own personal experiences, stories, and tools that we’ve utilized in our marriages that we hope can help to equip you to fight for your marriages and for your sex lives. Your marriage is worth the fight!   Recommended Books: Married Sex by Gary Thomas & Debra Fileta, M.A., LPC https://a.co/d/aw8kAiG   God, Sex & Your Marriage by Dr. Juli Slattery https://a.co/d/5wbJyIN   Find the Hero in Your Husband by Dr. Juli Slattery https://a.co/d/8XyPkAT   Bible Scripture Verses: Song of Songs 1:9  Song of Songs 5:1 Proverbs 5:18b-19 God created sex to bring about unity (Genesis 2:24); Purity (Hebrews 13:4); Pleasure (Song of Songs 7:6); love and comfort (Genesis 24:67); and deep joy (Proverbs 5:18).     CONNECT WITH CARLA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourageisnotyourcage/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adonorsstory/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mrscarlaallen?mibextid=LQQJ4d Website:  https://carlaallen.com   Interested in being featured as a guest?
