What do I do if I have a higher drive than my husband? What should I do if my sex drive seems non-existent?
Today’s episode is a fresh perspective and discussion as we unpack sexual desire and high and low libidos, which happens to be one of the most frequently asked questions.
Education and understanding can lead to celebration, therefore  let’s discuss the sexual response cycle, spontaneous desire vs. responsive desire and factors that contribute to seasons of higher/lower seasons of spontaneous desire. 
Let’s get equipped and be encouraged as we seek to see sex and connection through a fresh lens.

What is foreplay and what purpose does it serve? In this discussion you’ll learn about the role of foreplay, but it may surprise you. Instead of seeing foreplay as a way to get ready for the main event, what if it were a time of relaxing into more pleasure and greater intimacy? 
You were made for deep connection and naked and unashamed intimacy. Let’s look at foreplay as a tool for connection through rest, relaxation and celebration of your feminine beauty.

Welcome to the Summer Lovin’ Series, where we are taking some of the most beloved episodes and bringing you equipping with a mix of mindset, mentoring and practicals to help you see the goodness of God in your bedroom and your body.
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ Matthew 25
When you think about the parable of the talents your mind instantly gravitates toward stewarding your finances, your gifts, or even your health. But, have you ever thought about the faithfulness that might flow from stewarding your sexuality?
We get to steward the gift of our sexuality, with purpose and intention over the course of our life. And, faithfulness brings great benefits,including the unity that leads to fruitfulness within the context of marriage. Sex is not a duty, not a chore, not something to check off your list. It is something to enjoy, to pursue, to delight and to receive great pleasure.
Let’s learn a fresh viewpoint on stewardship and experience the joy of our Master.
