In this segment, Dave and Ashley Willis explain that sexual intimacy in marriage goes through recurring, non‑sequential "seasons" that can repeat throughout a couple’s life. They introduce a visual metaphor of four chairs, each labeled with a word beginning with the letter B—Beach, Busy, Babies, and Broken—to represent distinct phases. The Beach chair symbolizes relaxed, vacation‑like intimacy; the Busy chair reflects limited time and quick moments of connection; the Babies chair captures the challenges and adjustments when parenting; and the Broken chair denotes periods of strain, conflict, or emotional distance. The speakers emphasize that these seasons are natural, can recur, and are not tied to a fixed order, encouraging couples to recognize and navigate each phase with realistic expectations.

And of course, none of those things are based in reality. In reality, you're going to have moments where there's spit up on you. You're going to have moments where you're exhausted, where you have the highs and the lows, the for better, for worse, in sickness and in health. And what we've discovered is that, like the Bible says, to everything there is a season, that there are seasons of sex and they don't happen necessarily in a certain sequential order. In fact, you'll experience all these seasons probably more than once, but the illustration we used in that talk and we talked about in the book, we had 4 chairs lined up in a row and the 4 chairs represented 4 different seasons that all started with the letter B. Beach, busy, babies, and broken. So there's a beach chair, a kitchen stool representing that kind of busy chair you sit in in your house when you only have a few minutes to grab a snack or something, baby chair like a baby seat, and then And then the broken chair, just the chair that's broken. And, and each of those represents a season of life and how sex is going to look different in each of those seasons.
