Let’s Talk About Sex, Marriage & Connection

What does a healthy sex life in marriage really look like?

In this vulnerable and biblical conversation, we break down God’s design for sex and intimacy in marriage, debunk cultural myths, and talk about how to build emotional, physical, and spiritual closeness with your spouse.

You’ll hear from experienced marriage leaders Darren and Bec about why emotional intimacy matters more than frequency, how porn damages connection, and the power of communication, vulnerability, and shared expectations.
