Sex Chat for Christian Wives

What do we wish we'd known when we first got married? In this episode, the four wives chat about what they wish they'd understood earlier in their marriages and what they would like to advise wives now. Sex is emotional, not just physical. Assume love. Pursue happiness for yourself. Speak up. Breastfeeding dampens sex drive. Get along with your mother-in-law. Your husband is a child of God just as you are. Find more on our show notes, available at our website.

Again, we address listener questions. Specifically: I would love if you could discuss how to get OUT of the mood (for those of us with husbands who just aren't that interested). I also long to know what it's like to be a wife who is loved and desired by her husband. I've tried making peace with the fact that this may not be the plan for my life. How do I get past my husband's sexual past? How do I let it go and not let it interfere with our marriage bed? Is it medically bad for you to have anal sex with your spouse? And do you believe it is wrong for man and wife to engage in anal sex? For more show notes and links to resources mentioned in the episode, click over to forchristianwives.com. Thanks for listening!

What are the lies that affect our marriages and limit our ability to enjoy sex and intimacy? And what are the truths that we need to embrace instead? We address two more lies in this episode: I am not enough. Christian women should not be sexy.

What are the lies that affect our marriages and limit our ability to enjoy sex and intimacy? And what are the truths that we need to embrace instead? The four wives talk about two lies in this episode: Sex is for my husband, not for me. My sexuality should look like my husband's.

Today, we'll try to provide a tutorial on what we wives need to know about our husband's body to have quality sexual intimacy in marriage. Let's first break down the actual makeup of male genitalia. What are the various parts down there, and what's their purpose? How would you characterize the relationship most men have with their penises? Why is that part so important to them? We've talked about body image for women, but do men have those concerns as well? In what way? What about giving your husband pleasure? What are some of the best spots and methods for arousing and pleasuring him in the marriage bed? How can Scripture guide us in accepting, appreciating, and loving our husband's body?

Welcome to the party! We are celebrating. It is Sex Chat for Christian Wives' first anniversary! (Woohoo! Cue noisemakers!!!) You have allowed us to chat with you for a whole year now. What have some of you had to say about us? We discuss iTunes reviews. We've talked about a lot of things this past year—what did we find most important? How have some of you helped us help others? We discuss your helpful comments. What do we hope to cover in 2018? Be sure to check out our fabulous one-year GIVEAWAY at forchristianwives.com.

This episode features your questions about love languages, male-centered sexual expectations, sexual fantasies, and oral sex.

Sometimes as Christians, we can focus so much on the deeper meaning of sexual intimacy in marriage, on its emotional and spiritual aspects, that we miss a sense of playfulness—or even downright humor. But we're not going to miss that today, because we're going to talk about how real sex can be awkward, embarrassing, and even funny.

*UPDATED AUDIO FILE* Taking care of your health can lead to better sex and intimacy in your marriage.

We're entering one of the busiest times of the year – the holiday season that runs from Thanksgiving Day (in the U.S.) through Christmas and on to New Year's Day. For many women, this is also one of the most exhausting times of the year – those of us who are barely keeping all of our balls in the air will soon find that we're supposed to juggle even more balls for the next 6 weeks or so! The holidays often take a toll on women's health and peace of mind. And the busyness they bring can affect our marriages. When stress, fatigue and activities increase, fun, sex and enjoyment in our marriages tend to decrease. Fortunately, our marriages (and our physical and mental health) don't have to suffer during the holidays. Today, we're going to talk about things we can all do, starting now and for the next few weeks, to keep things fun, calm and a little bit sexy during the busiest time of the year. We also have a free gift for you. We'd love for you to download this free ebook - 75 Ways to Love Your Life and Enjoy Your Marriage this Christmas - and use it to create a calm, joyful and relaxing Christmas season for you and your family.
