E15: The Sexual Baggage We Bring Into Marriage

In this episode of the Dream Marriage podcast, the Dalkes discuss the sexual baggage we bring into our marriages. 

We all bring sexual baggage into our marriage whether we’ve had sexual experiences before marriage or not. 

The Dalkes talk through 4 areas of sexual baggage:

1. the things we’ve seen,
2. the things we’ve done,
3. the things that have been done to us,
4. and the things we believe about sex. 

They bring up important questions such as: Is the pleasure of sex just for men? Or for men and women both?

How does sexual baggage affect your sex life in marriage?

What are our personal expectations of sex? And where do they derive from?  
How do you begin to heal from or get free from that baggage so you can experience the freedom that God has for us within the marriage bed? 

They discuss why communication about sex is vital to a healthy and thriving sex life, and how exploring each other's bodies can be a form of healing from sexual baggage.
