Episode 50: Biblical Boundaries in the Bedroom: What’s Allowed in Marriage?

After a short break, Glendie and Elizabeth are back to tackle one of the biggest questions Christian couples ask: What can and can’t married couples do in bed? Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and wisdom from Christian authors, they explore God’s design for sex and how married couples can navigate this intimate area in a way that honors both God and their relationship. They even break down hot-button topics like toys, pornography, masturbation, and more! 

⚠️ Trigger Warning: If you are in an unsafe marriage, resources for support and healing are linked in the show notes.

✨This is a judgment-free conversation with room for questions, grace, and growth. This is not a “how-to” guide but rather a biblical framework for processing intimacy with your spouse.Tune in, reflect, and—if you’re married—consider listening with your spouse to spark deeper discussion.
