275. Naked and Unashamed: The Battle for Intimacy in Your Marriage

Female by Design

About

There's a bigger story happening in your marriage than the one you can see.


In the garden, God's design for a husband and wife was naked and unashamed: fully seen, fully vulnerable, fully loved. But we don't live in the garden anymore. We live in a battle.

If intimacy has felt heavy lately, if distance or old shame has crept back in without explanation, Francie wants you to know there may be more going on than meets the eye. In this episode, she shares what a recent season of opposition taught her about why union is worth fighting for, and how to fight for it.

You will be encouraged with biblical teaching and prayer for fresh revelation, healing, and transformation as we know God more.

In this episode:

    What the garden reveals about vulnerability and healing

    Why the enemy works so hard against union

    The surprising response to heaviness in your sex life

    A prayer for your body, your desire, and your oneness
