In the #9 spot on Real Talk with Rachael's top 10 countdown, author Gary Thomas dives into the topic of his book Married Sex: A Christian Couple's Guide to Reimagining Your Love Life. Gary shares practical, faith-based insights on how married couples can cultivate a healthy, God-honoring sex life. He emphasizes that sex should be mutually pleasurable, strengthen the relationship, and glorify God—shifting the focus from using your spouse for pleasure to cherishing them through intimacy. Gary encourages couples to identify what might not be working in their sex life, whether it’s physical, relational, or even theological. He reminds us that God designed sex as a gift, celebrated in Scripture, to bring joy, create life, and deepen connection. Addressing common misconceptions—like the idea that sex should always be easy or driven by constant desire—he encourages couples to explore new ways of connecting through all five senses. This conversation is full of grace, wisdom, and practical tips to help couples grow closer, both physically and spiritually.
