In this episode, Mike and Kristen Jones launch the second season of Heart and Soulution by discussing physical intimacy within marriage. They highlight the importance of intentionality and character, arguing that a healthy sex life requires effort and kindness outside of the bedroom. The hosts reference the book Married Sex to address common challenges, noting that a high percentage of couples face frustrations in this area. They encourage listeners to investigate health, relational, and spiritual factors that may hinder intimacy rather than accepting a decline as a natural part of aging. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize that sexual closeness is a divine design intended to distinguish the marital bond from all other relationships.
