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!

Today's must-listen podcast episode is a vital piece of the sex talk you never got - a conversation about sexual issues as they show up in almost every marriage as a result of shame and contempt born of most men's first encounters with sex because of the earliest introductions to sex via pornography and other counterfeit distortions with marriage therapist and author, Sam Jolman, Type 4 (4-4 pairing). Here we bring a respectful conversation geared toward the reminders of the God-given gift of wonder, awe, and innocence that you can truly bring into your marriage for a renewed sense of heartfelt love and mutual partnership. Sam also courageously brings forth an introduction to a necessary book that deals with these issues with kindness and courage with life-changing practical tips and insights. Sam's book, "The Sex Talk You Never Got: Reclaiming the Heart of Masculine Sexuality," has been cited by John Eldredge (Wild at Heart) as "the most important book on sexuality you will ever read." Join us as we delve into our lives and the conversations we need to have about a healthy expression of sexuality, as well as the best ways to heal. “At last. A kind, wise and poetic guide to the complex and beautiful issue of our sexuality and a path toward the wholeness every man longs for. I’m serious—this is the most important book on sexuality you will ever read.” -JOHN ELDREDGE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WILD AT HEART Show Notes: Find Sam Jolman's (foreword by John Eldridge) book, "The Sex Talk You Never Got: Reclaiming the Heart of Masculine Sexuality" here: https://a.co/d/fFPhBAs Find Sam Jolman's website here: https://www.samjolman.com/ Connect with Sam on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/samjolman/?hl=en Find Sam's Substack here: https://www.samjolman.com/writing/ Watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/lOqUgZYsnig Email enneagramandmarriage@gmail.com with your Enneagram in Marriage book receipt for your digital copy of The Hidden Chapter (on Sex) in The Enneagram in Marriage Spread the word about the podcast here! 📣🥳 Leave your review of this podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagram-and-marriage/id1493137938 Join Christa virtually on your own time in the Enneagram in Marriage 5-week course here! https://www.enneagramandmarriage.com/the-enneagram-in-marriage-5-week-course-for-sale We would love to hear from you!
