It is possible to get to this place of intimacy where you're really incorporating God's love in a way that brings wholeness and just something that you've always dreamed of.
What happens when the intimacy in a marriage feels more like a burden than a blessing? In this episode of 'Strong Tower Mental Health', Heidi Mortenson sits down with Mary Whitman Ortiz, a Christian sex educator and relationship coach, to tackle the often unspoken challenges of sexual health in marriage.
Mary bravely shares her personal journey from feeling undervalued and emotionally abused in her first marriage to becoming a vocal advocate for healthy sexual relationships rooted in self-worth and divine love. Mary's story is both heart-wrenching and hopeful. She recounts the emotional turmoil of discovering her husband's porn addiction and the subsequent feelings of inadequacy and shame that plagued her. This episode isn't just about identifying problems, though—it's about finding solutions.
Mary discusses how she broke free from the cycle of low self-value and emotional abuse, emphasizing the critical role of mental readiness before physical intimacy can be truly fulfilling. Listeners will find practical advice on how to prepare for intimacy, heal from past traumas, and build a sexual relationship that honors both partners. Mary also touches on the importance of recognizing emotional abuse and taking steps to seek help and healing.
Her insights offer a roadmap for anyone struggling with similar issues, highlighting that true intimacy is not just physical but deeply emotional and spiritual. If you're looking for an honest, faith-based discussion on how to reclaim intimacy and build a healthier marriage, this episode is a must-listen. Mary's candidness and expertise provide invaluable guidance for couples aiming to create a fulfilling and God-centered sexual experience.
