Spicing Up Your Sex Life [175]

Send us Fan MailMatt and Jenn use a cooking analogy to explore how great married sex requires more than just "spices" – it needs solid foundational ingredients of spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical connection.• Adding more spice to bad ingredients doesn't make a dish better; it likely makes it worse.• In struggling marriages, focusing solely on sexual excitement without addressing overall closeness leaves couples unsatisfied• All aspects of intimacy (spiritual, emotional, mental, physical) are interconnected and strengthen each other• The upcoming annual retreat will explore the theme "One" and these interconnected aspects of intimacy.Join us for our annual marriage retreat, September 18-20, featuring special musical guest Trey Keller!
