The Bible references sex dozens of times and even has an entire book devoted to the subject, yet many Christians struggle with the tension between wanting more (or at least better) sex and the taboo of even talking about it. The world offers so many messages that conflict with a biblical perspective that it is hard to know how to feel, what to think and even what is acceptable when it comes to sex in a loving marriage.
A candid and tasteful workshop about sex within Christian marriage, from renowned speaker, teacher and author, Eryn-Faye Frans, Canada’s Passion Coach®. Learn the foundational principles to a healthy, thriving sex life in this thoughtful, humorous workshop. Recommended for married ladies.
