Organic Sex [173]

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Matt & Jenn tackle the concept of "organic sex" and whether truly spontaneous intimacy is even possible in a long-term marriage. The myth that good sex should just naturally happen without planning or effort has damaged many marriages and created unrealistic expectations.• Sex is natural but not naturally perfect - it requires intentional cultivation• Many couples believe the Hollywood myth that passionate encounters should happen effortlessly • The best sex flows from creating space for connection across all dimensions of intimacy• Physical intimacy is not separate from emotional, spiritual, and intellectual connection• Seemingly "spontaneous" encounters are actually built on intentional groundwork• Great sex isn't about spontaneity but about co-creating an environment where intimacy flourishes• Most of what builds great sex happens outside the bedroom through everyday connection• When couples focus on building multi-level intimacy, sex becomes a natural byproductPlease support these companies that support Intimate Covenant:Married Dance — https://marrieddance.com/?aff=29 We’re a Christian-friendly, marriage-centered sex toy and marital aid store for couples that’s nudity-free.  Shop from this link for special savings and part of your purchase will support Intimate Covenant.  Coconu — http://www.coconu.com Coconu is committed to helping people lead healthier, happier lives by offering 100% safe and organic personal care products.  Your purchase helps support Intimate Covenant AND you get 15% OFF.
