A spoken segment (podcast/YouTube) by Nick Stumbo arguing that many couples lack healthy conversations and frameworks about sexuality because homes and churches are silent, leading people to assume they will "get married and figure it out." The speaker urges providing biblically grounded, practical frameworks and conversation starters so couples and groups can build healthy sexual understanding rather than relying on unrealistic secular comparisons.
Most people, we simply don't talk about it. We didn't grow up in homes that talk about it. We don't attend churches that make it a regular part of our preaching or teaching. So there's. For so many of us, there was just this assumption that you'd get married and figure it out like everybody else did. And so you don't have a context even to. You know, sometimes the comparisons we do have are to such unhealthy or unrealistic comparisons, but because we don't have a grounding in something realistic or truthful, we don't even know that we're comparing to something that's totally unrealistic. And so we. We get lost really easily in this area. I hope it's that we'll have people able to engage in this conversation in a healthy way with their spouses or with group members, just to have a framework for what does a biblical healthy sexuality look like? Because that's the other side of it. You can go to the world and because they're not coming from a biblical worldview, some of what they teach might be actually counterproductive to what we're trying to build into our marriages. I hope we give people some helpful kind of places to start this discussion in their own relationships or, or if they're married, in their own marriage.
