I would encourage that you be intimate at least once a week.” - Dr. Kim Kimberling “Tender touch has to be non sexual sometimes for us ladies to feel loved.” - Christina Dodson “Having non sexual touching in your marriage actually makes your sex life better.” - Dr. Kim Kimberling “There is a spiritual aspect to sex that we have as Christians. Don’t feel weird about connecting God to sex, He’s the one who invented it; he’s not a prude!” - Dr. Kim Kimberling “When you’re single the Devil tries to keep you in the bed, when you’re married the Devil tries to keep you out of the bed.” - Christina Dodson “Having a good sex life in marriage is one way to affair-proof your marriage.” - Dr. Kim Kimberling “Your spouse does not define you, God does.” - Dr. Kim Kimberling “Most of the time it’s the husband’s initiating sex so I encourage wives to initiate sex every now and then, it will mean a lot to your husband.” - Dr. Kim Kimberling   SPONSORS   Thank you to Harvest House Publishers for sponsoring this episode promoting Love In Every Season.
