Sex: How Often

DAY 6 OF 6

Priority

Devotional Content:

Today, in the final video in this plan, Dr. Kim asks Doug and Mel this question, “How do you continue to prioritize your sex life in your marriage?”

If you are completely honest with each other, how would you rate yourselves on how well you made your sex life a priority before starting this reading plan? Would you give yourselves a 10, a 1, or somewhere in between? What are you going to do differently moving forward? Where would you like your sex life to be a year from now? What will it take from each of you to get it there?

God’s plan from Genesis 2 has not changed. Think about that picture of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Naked and unashamed. Completely transparent, open, trusting, and vulnerable. Isn’t that what we all really want? Isn’t God’s plan the very best imaginable? I believe God’s plan has not changed. I believe we can have what Adam and Eve had before sin entered the world. How? Through our relationship with Jesus! We are redeemed and God desires that close relationship with us as individuals and as couples.

Doug talks about the importance of building a strong foundation in your sex life. It allows you to maintain that close connection no matter what life throws your way. No matter the difficulties you may face don’t settle for less.

Today’s Challenge:

Talk about what it would mean for the two of you to pursue a “naked and unashamed” marriage. What is your first step in that direction?

Going Deeper:

Use our Spice it Up Sex Challenge as a fun way to connect with your spouse! For the next month try and complete all 18 challenges. It’s easy to get into a mundane routine and forget how to have fun and excitement in the marriage bed. That’s why we created this challenge as a fun way to try a few new things and have a playful goal to work toward! The goal is to complete all 18 challenges in 30 days! You can do it!!!
