Episode notes
Sex’s Spiritual Power And Vulnerability
- Sex is intrinsically powerful and was designed to point us toward God and covenantal intimacy.
- The enemy intentionally perverts sex because of its value and ability to wreck lives and marriages.
Marriage Doesn’t Cure Porn Problems
- Marriage does not automatically fix sexual issues and can amplify porn-related problems.
- Hidden porn use stays secret and creates barriers unless couples discuss sex, porn, and boundaries openly.
Confession Before Marriage
- Matt stopped porn a year and a half before marriage and confessed early to his wife.
- He still had to relearn making love versus using sex because porn-trained beliefs carried into marriage.
