Growing up in spaces of faith, many if not most of us have inadvertently picked up on several toxic fallacies as we consider both how to espouse a mature Christian faith and yet also strive for a thriving sex life together in marriage. Many of those beliefs have even been taught from the pulpit, even the ones stirring us to become sexual objects. Yet both biblical truth and research portray for us that guilting or shaming one another in the bedroom instead draws a wider gap of true intimacy. Dr. Camden Morgante, Pys.D., is here to help you walk through this seeming disparity with the clarity you need, as she brings in both healthy biblically-based and research-based tips on how to replace unhealthy projections of faith and sexuality with biblically sound truths and ethics. If you want a deeper, healthier, and more intimate sex life in your marriage, you don't want to miss this healing episode or Dr. Camden's brand new book (and pre-order bonuses) for anything!
