What does Monica Cook think we as pastors get wrong as we talk to people about sex? 

How can we as pastors do a better job at helping people in regards to sex at the start of a marriage relationship? What basic things does Monica want pre-marital couples to know? How do you frame sex in a healthy way?  

How do pastors help to normalise that within a healthy marriage there may be moments of sexual dysfunction?

What help and hope is there for those who have been sexually abused as children?

What are specific issues for women navigating the flood of porn in our society?
