Sex Chat for Christian Wives Bonny Burns, Gaye Christmus, J Parker, and Chris Taylor

For many Christians, it can be difficult to think about God and sex at the same time. How present is God in our bedrooms? And how does knowing that He knows make us feel? We dive deep into what God has to do with our sex lives and how to think about and embrace His involvement.

From the Bible

So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 1:27, 31

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

I belong to my beloved,
    and his desire is for me.
Song of Songs 7:10
