NOT TONIGHT, SWEETHEART: Strictly for the Married

Sexual needs and well-being are often neglected in religious settings due to taboo beliefs, but research confirms that sexuality is an essential part of life at every stage, including old age. Marriage and family therapists have found that sexual issues account for nearly 80% of marital conflicts, highlighting the centrality of intimacy in relationships. Couples often express confusion or dissatisfaction due to emotional disconnectedness, and these concerns are deeply spiritual, relational, and societal. To every Christian, a foundational scripture, 1 Corinthians 7:1-5, speaks directly to sexual intimacy within marriage. This book explores how nurturing, respecting, and mutually fulfilling intimacy can strengthen marital bonds and reduce conflict while addressing the dangers of neglect, misunderstanding, and misuse of this sacred connection.
