Sex for Saints

I get asked a lot about the rules of sex before marriage when you’re adult. Are they the same as when you’re a teenager? The answer is harder than a simple yes or no. As adults, it is more nuanced than that. Listen to this episode to find out how integrity should drive your decisions whether you are 16 or 46 and how that can make you more happy than if you just do what you “should.”

I get asked a lot about how to talk to kids and teens about sex. Unfortunately, I can’t make it less awkward for you, though if you’re comfortable with your own sexuality first, that can help, but I can give you some points to make so that you and your child know exactly what sex is and what to think about when they want to have it. My hope for you is that this discussion can bring you and your child closer together rather than farther apart when it comes to sex, even if they choose to follow a different value system than your own.   The Harvey Institute

How do we do that? Listen to this episode and be more intentional about being of one heart and one mind. But I will tell you, it does take work.

I don’t know who decided that the only time we can have sex is at night when we’re exhausted but they were wrong. Listen to find out what else we may be wrong about when it comes to sex and sleep.
