What Makes a Great Sex Life for Married Couples?

Many Christian books talk about sexual issues within broader works on marriage, but few resources comprehensively and biblically guide couples on sexual intimacy. Navigating sex in marriage has always been tricky, and research overwhelmingly suggests that the pandemic has further complicated intimacy in marriage.

In her new book, God, Sex, and Your Marriage, Dr. Slattery applies a biblical framework to the practical challenges in sexual intimacy and helps couples by addressing questions like: Why do we struggle in this area of marriage?

1. Is your love life mediocre? What would you like married couples to know?
2. Can you and your spouse talk openly about sex? Why is this important?
3. Does sex create more conflict than unity? What are some key points for our audience?
4. Has shame sabotaged your hope for intimacy? What are some key points for our audience?

Dr. Juli Slattery is a clinical psychologist, author, and co-founder of Authentic Intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God’s design for sexuality. In addition to speaking, she hosts the podcast Java with Juli. In 2020, Juli launched Sexual Discipleship®, an online platform to equip Christian leaders for gospel-centered conversations about sexual issues. She’s the author of twelve books, including Rethinking Sexuality; Passion Pursuit; and Sex & the Single Girl. She and her husband Mike live in Akron, Ohio, and have three grown sons.
