Stories of a Sparrow: Episode 10

Stories of a Sparrow

Let's talk about...sex baby:

In this Episode we try to break the silence a little and have a conversation about sex that a lot of people aren't having but maybe should be. We talk about some of the things we have struggled with individually such as sexpectations, negative feelings towards sex, self confidence and not loving the way our bodies look, hurt carried from before marriage, battles of the mind, feeling like a 'Velcro Mom'. We talk about the importance of communicating with your spouse about sex about any struggles you are having concerning sex but to also share your likes and dislikes, God made us all different and we need to be able to tell our husbands what is going on in our heads when it comes to sex, they want to know! The three of us grew up in similar environments where sex wasn't really talked about except to tell us not to do it, and where there is some truth and well meaning behind that approach, there was also a lack of explaining the gift it is from God to a husband and a wife and how it's okay to enjoy and explore that gift with your husband the way God designed it! So bring God into the bedroom, pray over your sex life, pray over the insecurities you have about sex. The three of us recall what sex was like in the earlier years of our marriage and how it has changed over the course of our relationships with time, kids, extra pounds, schedules and hormones. We share what has worked for us and our marriages and what we hope might be helpful to you as well.
