Hey friends! Welcome to Girls Night! We know that sex is an important part of marriage, but because it’s such a personal, intimate thing, it’s often the area of marriage where we have the least amount of help, guidance, and support.  If sex is uncomfortable, or if it hurts, or if it’s just not as good as you thought it would be — or if you find yourself wanting to have sex more often or less often than your partner and it’s causing some tension between you — or if one of you is struggling with porn, or if you’re just not feeling as connected or free in your intimacy as you want to feel — we don’t necessarily know where to turn for help. And while there are some books and resources available to us — a lot of the advice out there about sex and intimacy just honestly isn’t that good. Sometimes it’s not just unhelpful, it’s actually damaging. A lot of us are suffering as a result of the bad advice we’ve been given in the past, sometimes without even realizing it.  All of that is exactly why I’m so excited about today’s episode. Our guest this week is author and sex expert, Sheila Gregoire. Sheila has written several books, but two of my favorites are The Great Sex Rescue, and The Good Girls Guide to Great Sex. These are incredible resources. Sheila has helped so many couples grow in their connection, passion, and intimacy, and that's why I’m so excited for you to get to hear from her. In this episode she’s talking to us about:  How often we should be having sex Libido differences: What to do if one person wants to have sex more than the other What to do if sex is painful, uncomfortable, or honestly just not that good What to do if shame is keeping us from being able to feel free in our sex lives How to undo some of the harmful messages that have had a negative impact on our view of sex What to do if your spouse struggles with porn And so much more Friend, if you’re struggling — with literally anything — in your sex life, you are SO not alone. And you also don’t have to walk through this alone either.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
