I am writing a year long series. It is called:
Healthy Marriage, Healthy Sex Life, with the One-Another Passages
Healthy marriages, typically, have healthy sex lives. How you treat each other outside the bedroom has a whole lot of influence on what goes on inside the bedroom.
Many of us, however, come into marriage having only seen our parents’ way of handling marriage, which may not have functioned well.

Because I believe the best ideas about how to have a strong, connected, flourishing sexual, spiritual, and emotional relationship comes from the Bible, this series is built upon the 59 one-another passages in the Bible.
The one-another passages are New Testament instructions from the apostles on how to treat one another in a godly way.
Each post in this series reflects one element of how spouses should relate to one another in a healthy marriage. Each is a key ingredient toward building a fantastic, well-connected, joyous, frequent, and consistent sex life. Sex isn’t the only facet of marriage. In fact, it is a very small part. It’s amazing, though, that this very small fraction of married life has a disproportionately large influence on the rest of your marriage.
Sexual intimacy flourishes in cycle. The cycle begins with well-meaning spouses that treat each other as Christ would, this curves into understanding that sexual intimacy is important in developing a thriving marital relationship. Frequent, loving sexual intimacy curves around to well-meaning spouses treating each other as Christ would.
These posts will help you gauge whether your relationship consists of well-meaning spouses treating each other as Christ would. They are also filled with practical behaviors that will help your healthy, thriving connection.
