Overview

You're enjoying sex, but don't see a spiritual connection. Sex is not just an activity, rather it is God's design for a powerfully, pleasurably, private experience to be enjoyed within marriage. With few resources designed to purposely apply information on the spirituality/sexuality connection, this biblically-based teaching tool attempts to bridge the gap between the simple acquisition of more information and an intentional plan of action regarding that information.
