  with Your Spouse Our final marriage freedom is the freedom to be yourself sexually.
• 0:12
  What does sexual freedom mean for those who follow Jesus?
• 0:15
  God is actually very pro-sex, as long as he's in marriage.
• 0:19
  The Song of Songs describes an amorous couple having sex in bed,
• 0:22
  the garden, and in the countryside.
• 0:25
  It includes descriptions of them giving each other both manual and oral sex.
• 0:29
  If it doesn't involve others, which eliminates porn, does not cause harm,
• 0:33
  and you both enjoy it, then it's okay with God, regardless of what your parents
• 0:37
  or the folks at church would think about it.
• 0:39
  God made us be able to enjoy sex in many ways. That was not a mistake,
• 0:43
  and He didn't fail to consider what we would do with the sexual desire and sexual parts He gave us.
• 0:48
  Both Song of Songs and Proverbs encouraged us to embrace an abandon in our intimacy
• 0:53
  that the Scripture likens to being intoxicated.
• 0:56
  If you grew up in the faith, odds are you were given in some unbiblical negative teaching about sex.
• 1:01
  If those things are still restraining your sex life, it's time to get free.
• 1:05
  That said, if you both enjoy vanilla sex, great. If you like a bit of spice
• 1:09
  on occasion, that's also great.
• 1:12
  And if most of your friends would turn beet red and be unable to speak,
• 1:14
  if they knew about how you enjoy God's gift of sex, that's great too.
• 1:19
  Giving each other sexual freedom does not mean anything goes.
• 1:22
  Not judging doesn't mean you have to say yes to everything your spouse proposes.
• 1:26
  You each get to say no, or maybe.
• 1:29
  Your sex life is between the two of you and God. No one else gets to have an
• 1:33
  opinion about it, and if you keep your sex life private, no one else will get worked up about it.
• 1:38
  I pray you will all walk in sexual freedom, however that looks in your marriage.
• 1:42
  Start by asking each other, and God, if there are any old, unbiblical teachings ruling your bedroom.
• 1:48
  This is Paul, reminding you that doing sex well looks different for every couple.
