Hey there, (Don’t forget to answer the poll at the end of this message)
I get it—talking about sex can feel awkward, scary, or downright impossible. But what if it didn’t have to be?
In this week’s Change the Odds episode, Blaine, Adrienne, and I open up about the struggles, laughs, and breakthroughs of learning to talk about sex in marriage. And we are joined by expert, Dr. Barbara Wilson. We unpack:
Why silence is the real enemy of intimacy
How childhood, church, and culture shape your view of sex
Tips for talking to your kids (without blushing)
Real tools for real couples who want a better connection
If your sex life feels confusing, this episode brings clarity. If it’s tense, it brings relief. If it’s good, it can get better.
Forward it to your spouse and say, “Let’s talk.” Because learning to talk about sex might just be the most intimate thing you do.
