In this episode, we Interviewed Dr. Laurie Watson Ph.D., MA, LMFT, LCMHC, Director of Awakenings, and certified sex therapist. Dr. Watson has thirty years of experience working with couples and individuals about love and sex. She’s the host of the popular podcast, FOREPLAY RADIO—Couples and Sex Therapy ranked in the top 10 in iTunes under Sexuality. Laurie authored her first book Wanting Sex Again—How to Rediscover Desire and Heal a Sexless Marriage (Penguin) in December 2012.

Excellent Points

• Everybody, at some point, struggles with sexual problems.

• The mindset that sex is supposed to happen naturally is a massive block to talking about sex or being able to fully experience the joy of marriage.

• Talking about sex does not ruin the mood.

• We need to be sensitive to how we are using sexual desire, because the other person may want to feel desirable

• While we want to talk about the mechanics of sex or hearts matter as well. Laurie Watson

If you have a positive view of self you can reach in a vulnerable way to people, but if you have a negative view of self then you may not even reach or if you do it won’t be a vulnerable ask for help (more of a demand or indirect ask to shield from rejection). At the end, we hope you can make space to become aware of how you view yourself in need/vulnerability to see how that affects how or if you reach for help.

In this episode, Nicola and I take time to examine how our perspective of ourselves changes when we are in a state of vulnerability. How we see ourselves in vulnerability will determine if we reach out for help and how we reach for help. If you have a positive view of self you can reach in a vulnerable way to people, but if you have a negative view of self then you may not even reach or if you do it won’t be a vulnerable ask for help (more of a demand or indirect ask to shield from rejection). At the end, we hope you can make space to become aware of how you view yourself in need/vulnerability to see how that affects how or if you reach for help.

God set up the family to provide a place of connection and security to launch its members out to do the will of God. Our experience with family has long lasting implications on our view of God, self, and others. When families flourish so do communities, local churches, states, nations, and ultimately the Kingdom of God. The adversary, Satan has always been against God’s concept of family from the beginning, and he still seeks to break down any type of family connection (Gen 3:15). The tragedy as Dr. Evans put it, “…is that many Christians think they are fighting flesh and blood in their marital and parenting issues, rather than realizing that Satan has an agenda to destroy their home. Whoever controls the family controls the future.” (Victory in Spiritual Warfare).
