25 Questions You're Afraid to Ask

Some things, like intimacy, are hard to discuss. Clinical psychologist Dr. Juli Slattery answers the question she’s asked most frequently: “What does God approve of?” Slattery says that in such a sexually permissive culture, it’s safe to assume that the average couple deals with porn, and many men and women are affected by sexual trauma, shame, and guilt. She encourages parents to talk to their children about God’s plan for sexuality so they won’t be frustrated like she was in her early years of marriage.

Scripture says that sexuality is spiritual. When Dr. Juli Slattery realized this, she dedicated three months to pray about this area of her life. As she drew near to the Lord, she grew closer to her husband. View Show Notes →
