If you're looking for ways to ignite passion in your marriage, you've come to the right place.

When Did Sex Become Dirty?

I've seen a disturbing trend recently. Maybe you've seen it too.

On the big screen and on our kindles, we're being sold the lie that in order to have passionate love in marriage, we need to do what hasn't been done before. We're told that erotica, pornography, and/or BDSM will banish our low libido.

Nothing could be further from the Truth.

God created sex. It was His idea. And He made it G-O-O-O-O-D.

At this point, you may be thinking, "Why are you writing about sex? I thought this blog was to encourage us in our walk with Jesus! What's sex got to do with it?!"

A lot, actually.

Whether you're single or married, your sexuality is an integral part of who God created you to be. It's not meant to be separated from your spirituality; in fact, it's created to be an expression of it.

I believe this is such an important topic, that I've joined the Pulling Back the Shades team with Dr. Juli Slattery and Dannah Gresh to spread the Truth about our sexuality. We've left this topic to the world long enough. It's time we stepped up to the microphone and proclaimed that sex was God's idea in the first place. He made it good AND He wants us to protect it in order to fully enjoy it.

There's way more goodness in Juli and Dannah's book that I won't get into in today's post. But enter to win a copy of their book at the end of this post!

It was God's idea to create men and women to thrill in their spouse, and we see a beautiful picture of that in Song of Solomon. The act of intimacy can be the glue that brings a husband and wife closer together in ways that mirror how Jesus Christ and His Bride will one day be united in marriage as well (see Ephesians 5:31-33).

So if you've hit a rut, if you're thinking, "I've got to figure this out. My ceiling just isn't that interesting..." then keep reading, friend! I've got lots of ideas and resources waiting for you--and make sure you check out the links!
