76: A Chapter Has Closed

When one starts confronting their sexual relationship, it’s common to start deconstructing and evolving their beliefs around a lot of other things too. Because spirituality and sexuality are deeply connected, when we deal with the challenges in our sexual relationships, the theology we were brought up in is usually poked at and oftentimes unravels as well. This is very normal and I’m happy to share this conversation I had with David Hayward (also known as the Naked Pastor) where we navigate the unraveling many of us go through concerning religion and sexuality. His art has been so helpful for me as I reflect on different areas of my life.

Emotional Connection has always been the foundation to a good intimate life. So why do some of us lose this awareness and start the game of tennis where we go back and forth between sex first or emotional connection first?

Are spirituality and sexuality connected? Is spirituality different for women than men? Has religion done a disservice to women when it comes to their overall wellbeing and their sex lives? We discuss these questions and more in this episode with Jamee and her guests Britt Hartley and Corrie Woods.

You saying “No” to sex is not the problem. His responses to your “no” are the problem.

It’s time we put an end to the idea that men need sexual connection before they can connect emotionally and start prioritizing emotional connection first always. Why? Because it’s what women are saying they need before they happily have sex with their husbands and we need to listen to them.
