On today's No Regretz Marriage podcast, we take a look at The Song of Songs celebration of physical intimacy. God created sex to be a beautiful part of the marriage relationship. Sex in marriage is not something to hide from, but a gift to be celebrated. We live in a culture that wants the beauty of sex and its positive impact on relationships without the boundaries God set up. By ignoring God's wisdom about sexual intimacy, people get the curse rather than the blessing.

Join us as we take a look at The Song of Songs, sometimes known as the Song of Solomon. You can view the book as an allegory, an idealized "what if?", or as we will look at it, a celebration of married love, romance, and physical intimacy.

In Philippians 4:13, Paul tells us, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This a verse that is often misinterpreted. It does not mean that you do anything you want to and God will enable you to do it. I may want to be able to run a 9 second 100 meters, but I don't have the physical attributes to do so. Just because I follow Christ, it doesn't mean I will be a world-class sprinter because I want to be one. The verse means that anything God calls me to do and walk in, his strength will enable...
