Porn Pastor Encourages Christian Couples to Have Better Sex
Less than 40 percent of married couples say they are satisfied with their sex lives, and sex is the No. 1 reason married couples seek counseling. Many Christian couples feel isolated when they experience problems in the bedroom, because sex is often seen as a taboo topic in the church and most resources available only provide surface-level information.
Craig Gross, author, speaker and founder of xxxchurch.com, X3watch and iParent.TV, noticed that many marriages around him were failing due to issues with sex. He partnered with Dave Willis, founder of StrongerMarriages.org, to provide a new video series, “Best Sex Life Now,” to allow couples to improve their sex life and build a stronger marriage.
“Sex is an important part of marriage, and couples who have healthy sex lives generally have healthy marriages,” said Gross. “The church often glosses over the serious issues many couples have in the bedroom. There is so much opportunity to explore God’s intention for married couples to have great intimacy. We don’t claim to have all things figured out but if we can begin to get couples to have a conversation and talk openly about sex with each other, I believe we will see stronger, happier marriages.”
“Best Sex Life Now” consists of 10 videos featuring Craig and Jeanette Gross and Dave and Ashley Willis. Each video tackles a tough topic regarding sex, including:
- Unmet Expectations—many couples have unrealistic or unreal expectations about sex, especially if they remained virgins before marriage. The video helps couples identify their unmet expectations and explains how to navigate them.
- Unhealthy Body Images—many married individuals, especially women, suffer from poor body images and feel uncomfortable being naked with their spouse. The Willises share how to gain confidence in your body the way God made you, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
- Incompatible Sex Drives—often in marriage, one partner desires sex more than the other. “Best Sex Life Now” helps couples learn what to do when you want sex more than your spouse.
An accompanying workbook allows couples to continue the discussion together.
“A lot of couples are unsatisfied with their sex lives, but don’t know what to do to make them better,” said Willis. “I believe God’s desire is that all married couples have great sex. It’s time we stop looking at sex as a taboo topic, and start looking at it as an amazing gift from God.”
The “Best Sex Life Now” video series also features two bonus videos feature former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna and his wife, Jennifer, as well as bloggers Aaron and Jennifer Smith. The video series can be purchased at bestsexlifenow.com.
