Sextimacy: From Awkward to Authentic Conversations About Sex

Married couples often find themselves in the midst of conversations with friends that touch upon intimate topics such as sex. Learn to have authentic not awkward conversations with the one you love. While sharing experiences and seeking advice from friends can be beneficial, it's crucial to navigate these discussions with sensitivity and respect. In this episode Dan and Emily Purcell of the Get Your Marriage On! Podcast join me and my hubby, Shaun, as we explore the importance of setting boundaries in conversations about sex, a “no-churchy” Christian perspective on discussing intimate matters with friends, and the significance of openness and authenticity between spouses.

The Sextimacy Challenge Invitation:

Dan shared about the genesis of the Intimately Us app, a tool designed to help couples intentionally build intimacy. Acknowledging the discomfort some couples feel when broaching these conversations, the app provides a platform for guided challenges, making it easier for couples to initiate discussions about their desires, needs, and preferences.

The Sextimacy Challenge— is an exciting opportunity for couples to focus on strengthening their relationships for 14 days. Couples can sync their apps, complete daily challenges, and earn points for a chance to win prizes, including a grand prize of airfare for two to anywhere in the country this Valentine’s, 2024!
