Many people long for more ease and passion in their sexual relationship—but unknowingly bring meanings to sex that interfere with both.

It's hard to know how to address doubts, concerns, or frustrations about the church, especially because we tend to link "goodness" with being unquestioning.

What Women Want: Understanding Female Arousal and Orgasm [Q&A Discussion] 52:03

2M ago52:03

52:03

A woman's arousal is highly connected to her sense of freedom in her relationship.
