Passionate Intimacy Frequently Asked Questions Feedback from Couples!

Many married couples struggle with creating the intimacy they desire – especially sexual intimacy. The truth is, God has provided us with help. This workshop is designed to assist spouses with the understanding and skills needed to enjoy God’s design for physical and emotional closeness. We will do this with sound Biblical teaching, current research and a bit of laughter in a safe, comfortable atmosphere. -Dr. Michael Sytsma

Enhance sexual intimacy in your marriage.

Virtually every couple could benefit from an opportunity to learn critical information that will help them enrich the sexual intimacy in their marriage. Even if you are quite pleased with the sexual intimacy in your marriage, learning about the latest findings and grounding the teaching in Biblical principles is valuable learning for your marriage. Additionally, research tells us that the majority of couples have important concerns about their sexual relationship. Those areas are addressed during this workshop in a safe, nurturing, and informative manner.

This workshop was very helpful. I wish I could have heard this years ago. It affirmed a lot of what I was feeling but didn’t know how to say. Really liked the biblical ties in the discussion.

The workshop works.

Before the workshop, 63% stated they were “usually” or “always” satisfied with their sex life. After the workshop, 77% were “usually” or “always” satisfied. Up 22%. During the 6 month follow-up, 85% of respondents believed the workshop improved their marriage and 75% believed it improved sexual intimacy in their marriage. Additionally, attendees report a significantly higher acceptance of self and spouse.

The wealth of information has greatly impacted our relationship and even when we know things are difficult…we now have a lens as to “why”…rather than a black void of uncertainty.

Beyond the workshop

Recognizing that a few hours in a workshop changes very little, attendees at the workshop have the opportunity to have follow-up emails sent to them. Over the next four weeks, we send out emails that remind couples about the principles taught in the workshop and invite them into exercises that will help them make lasting change in their relationship. These follow-ups, combined with the homework assigned during the workshop, makes for lasting change in those who choose to practice what they’ve learned.
