Let’s Talk about Sex: Women’s Pleasure in Marriage with Kingdom Sexuality Ministry
Let’s talk about it—women’s pleasure in marriage. For too long, Christian women have been taught that sex is just for their husbands, leaving many feeling disconnected, ashamed, or even unaware of God’s true design for intimacy. But here’s the truth: God created pleasure for women, too!
In this episode, I sit down with Tiera and Alana from Kingdom Sexuality Ministry to unpack what the Bible really says about intimacy, how to break free from shame, and why understanding pleasure is essential to a thriving, God-honoring marriage.
What the Bible says about women’s pleasure in marriage
How purity culture shaped our view of intimacy—and what needs to change
Practical ways to embrace intimacy as a gift from God
How to communicate your needs in marriage with confidence
Biblical encouragement for women struggling with shame, guilt, or trauma
This is a conversation every Christian woman needs to hear—whether you’re newly married, struggling in this area, or just wanting to grow in intimacy with your spouse.
