How to “Turn On”

If a dating couple has spent years denying physical pleasure in their relationship (due to the purity movement), once they are married and “allowed” to have conjugal relations, how does one lower that wall they have built?

What’s this summer series all about?

This summer, I’ll be sharing short videos taken from my two hour Emerald City interview on “Shame, Intimacy and Sex Ed” with Christian sex therapist, Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers. You’ve already seen her at RubySlippers’ posts and interviews. See part one.

Because of Dr. Sellers practical concern that Christians understand that God created erotic desires, Tina is one of the best sources I’ve found in helping me navigate the pillow talk between me and my husband.

Dr. Sellers is a wife, mother, professor, founder of ThankGodForSex.org, certified sex therapist, and licensed family and marriage therapist. Those last two are a dynamic duo of credentials that are rarely seen together. And the lack of professionals who practice both family/marriage and sex therapies is a big problem for those of us who want thriving marriages and thriving sex lives. Thank God for Tina!  I particularly love the way she lives a sexual intimacy that she teaches (My Love List for My Husband . . . And Why Gratefulness is Good for the Heart). Follow her blog and thoughts @TinaSSellers.

I will share a new video every week this summer! Watch the 2-5 minute videos that seem helpful to you, leave the rest.

Editor’s Note: I just received word from Dr. Tina that a couple of openings in her September Passion for Life Couple’s Intimacy Retreat in Whistler British Columbia Sept 24-27, 2015 JUST became available. Openings are rare. If anyone is interested in joining her and other couples committed to learning  more about sexual intimacy, check out the retreat information here.
