Forever Marriage at Lakewood exists to strengthen families by helping couples discover God's design for marriage. Season 2 - Six Keys to Better Sex in Marriage"God designed sex.  In the first book of the Bible, in the first chapter, God blessed the first man and the first woman and encouraged them to “be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28). As originally designed, sexual intimacy, in marriage between one man and one woman for all of life, was to create a bond void of shame (Genesis 2:24,25). Unfortunately, the fall of mankind (Genesis 3) disrupted God’s original design for human sexuality.  Ever since, sexuality in marriage for many couples is wrought with shame, fear, lying, hiding and blame.  In over 20 years of marriage ministry, we have found the keys to better sex in marriage have little to do with position or technique.  Instead, the keys lie more in the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors of both spouses."  -Scott & Dawn Smith, Six Keys to Better Sex in MarriageIn Episode 1 of Season 2 of the Forever Marriage Podcast, Scott & Dawn begin with the first Key of Six Keys to Better Sex in Marriage. Key 1: Align your thinking about sex with God’s truth.Within this key, Dawn explains the principle of the boundary  that we see in the creation account in Genesis 1. "Everything in creation has a place and there is a boundary around that place that is respected. The problems begin when what is assigned to that place crosses over its boundary."This principle applies to sex as well. God created sex to be between a man and a woman within the context of marriage. When we overstep this good boundary God created, problems arise. Stay tuned for Episode 2 where Scott & Dawn will continue unpacking the first Key and address this question: What is the biblical purpose of sex?We encourage you to download a copy of Six Keys to Better Sex in Marriage as you listen to this season of the FM Podcast.
