168. Margin Makes Room for Intimacy
09/04/23 • 28 min
You were made for intimate connection; with God, with your spouse, with your family and friends. Yet, in the culture of busyness, you may find yourself pulled in so many directions, the noise of life and doing all the things begins to drown out the ability to cultivate true connection.
Margin is required for deep intimacy. We’re going to talk about how to create margin on purpose and start taking ground in creating deep connection and intimacy. Whether you are newly wed, in the thick of raising kids or in the empty nest stage, creating margin is season to season. It’s never easy and it doesn’t happen naturally, but you CAN find rhythms of margin in your season of life.

Reframe Conversation: Masturbation (#167)
Is masturbation right or wrong? There’s a healthy pause that comes with answering this question because it’s quite layered and there isn’t scripture that provides a firm answer. Yet, we know that all things are permissible, but not all things are beneficial.
In this conversation we’ll take a bigger picture view at the issues involved. Touching yourself or doing something in private that you want to keep secret is riddled with shame and not helpful to your marriage connection. On the contrary, the idea of believing your body is good as you desire body awareness and self cultivation for the sake of sharing it with your husband can be beneficial and promote healthy connection.
Listen in and bring this conversation to the Lord and your own marriage.
