Rethinking Godly Sexuality in Your Marriage (Part 1) - Dr. Juli Slattery

- Far too many Christian married couples live with a secret shame and frustration - their sexual relationship is not meeting their perceived needs or expectations. Unfortunately, they more focused on the mechanics of their sexual activity and have no vision for God’s greater design of their intimacy with each other or with Him. Few couples have ever prayed about their sexual relationship and may feel like God and their sexuality are disconnected. Dr. Juli Slattery recognizes that many couples a poor foundation for understanding God’s design for intimacy - that our sexual relationship is a metaphor for the intimacy God longs to have with each one of us. Therefore, God is very interested in our sexuality and, in fact, designed sex for our pleasure. Juli encourages married couples to have “convanent love” rather than contractual love. Just as God created an everlasting covenant with us, husbands and wives are supposed to pursue covenant love with each other. Juli described 4 “pillars” of this love - (1) faithfulness, (2) intimate knowing, (3) sacrificial love, and (4) celebration. Throughout the interview Juli shared stories from her marriage to Mike, describing how they struggled to experience true a meaningful intimacy in their marriage for 15 years.

Grateful for God's Word concerning our sexualité. I was a mess coming into the Kingdom but the Word was unflinchingly demanding exclusivity and availability. I'm so grateful for the truth of Covenant requiring our all. There were lean years, but 40 years in, it's a sweet sweet place of freedom and joy. All is grace in Christ.
That conveys a sense of great hope for me. Thank you for this.
It's very important topic. I just wish it would be more detailed and informative, rather than discussion that goes in circles. For instance, how to get out of place of trauma and brokeness, and what is healthy and what not. Maybe book breaks down the subject a bit better.

Such a difficult subject to discuss in public yet What wisdom this lovely lady has….she presents the subject with such decorum….as someone now in later life l can’t help but salute you.
Difficult to express when you’re unsexy and repressed
Great topic. I said no to a lot of men as a single mom waiting for marriage. Now that I'm married, I'm facing challenges I never anticipated in my wildest imaginations!
Hugs and prayers. Me in similar situation of your past!
Also there is another book, The 5 Love Languages by Dr Gary Chapman that helped us a lot!
@@kingsleylocke6116 it's very famous, I'll try to finally read it!
@Kingsley Locke that book is Amazing. So tired of man 😪 just under the blanket and no sensuality, foreplay, or laughs....but his needs are first... what the heck.
@@FB.RocksannROUW it’s quite probable that you are sitting on the sidelines waiting for things to happen for you. I think of like playing a game of paddle ball. One person has all the pressure of keeping the ball in play and is also getting all the action. The other person is just standing there waiting to play. Play is the key word here. Play=Fun
Really appreciated this discussion so open and honest about this subject.
Thank you Holy Spirit !!
I love Juli’s podcast! It’s so interesting watching her speak when I’m so used to listening lol. Thank you FONF for having her on! ♥️
Thank you for teaching on this, in this way. I'm looking forward to future episodes.
Tracey Burroughs from South Africa 🇿🇦 watching your episode
It's great to know that you listen to us all the way from South Africa, Tracey! We hope you are blessed by the broadcast. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we may be of help in any way. Blessings to you and your family!
Thank you Tracey, I am listening and also from South Africa.
How can we reach out to Focus on the Family , if we need advice or help please?
Thank you.
Hi, Volia-Louise! We encourage you to contact our associate office in South Africa by visiting their website: www.safamily.co.za. Blessings!
We are all broken sexually
Doesn’t matter if you waited until marriage
We have all sinned and fallen short
This is a great take away
Thanks Julie + thanks FOTF
A marriage based on
FAITHFULNESS + CHARACTER
Such a great video with so much truth.
It would be nice if more godly men existed so women don't have to be treated like objects. Morals are ever in decline!!
I really do think that the devil is behind the messages in television programs, movies, and books that portrays men as constitutionally self-seeking in this regard and essentially incapable of being pure. There are *many* Godly men out there; don't let the Father of Lies fool you into thinking otherwise. It's just another wound that he can use to drive a wedge between spouses if the wife has lingering, perhaps subconscious, fears that her husband might be objecrifying her.
I also love The Penners who have been on Focus before. Lots of details and help with their writings too.
Great message! Thanks!
Greatly needed this. Thank you.
Theology of The Body JP2
So right on..thank you!
Appreciate this content, but let the guest speak more.
On target! What we've discovered.
Hey you🙋
Feels like beating around the bush. I have no idea what the problem is here.
Exactly. Why use 20 words when you can use 200? For some, there isn't really a problem, but boy do they like to create them. Listening to this sort of thing makes my head spin.
We need help, thank you much .🙏🏼

Do you have counselors from different ethnicities
I’m wondering why that matters. Every human being has the same essential design and needs. Compassion and grace transcend all ethnicities and cultures.
@@mchristr no it's important to have a understanding of being on to culture and others views on life. It does help
How do I contact a Focus on the family counselor?
Its in the comments above, FOTF replied to someone asking about trauma and brokenness. 😊

Thanks for the topic! Please hear the gospel message everyone! Jesus is our only hope for freedom and Salvation! Ray Comfort has FREE movies and interviews on TH-cam with the gospel
One position in the head and in the bed brings a lot of dread!
