Sex and Self-Forgetfulness : Honoring Each Other in Marriage

Sex and Self-Forgetfulness helps couples grow in Christlike intimacy. Doug Hanna’s thirty devotions guide spouses toward mutual service, joy, and lasting closeness in marriage.

Sex and Self-Forgetfulness helps couples gain a biblical understanding of the joys of intimacy on their way to building a more mutually satisfying marriage. Intimacy is a wonderful gift from God meant to draw married couples closer, but in a world where there is so much confusion and misuse of sexuality, how can that happen? Through thirty devotions, Doug Hanna shares that the secret to the Christian life—where you find true life by laying down your life for others—is also the secret to mutually satisfying intimacy. Couples will explore Scripture together to discover that real joy comes from thinking less of yourself and more of your spouse. By focusing on self-forgetfulness, mutual service, and Christ’s example, Sex and Self-Forgetfulness provides a roadmap for healing, growth, and lasting intimacy. Reading the devotional together allows couples to read Scripture, talk about the day’s narrative, and pray together before putting what they have learned into practice in their own marriage. Sex and Self-Forgetfulness is divided into three parts to help couples understand God’s design for sex, respond to sexual brokenness, and pursue satisfaction. It challenges common cultural misconceptions about sex and offers guidance for overcoming sexual sin. Married couples, engaged couples, pastors, and counselors will benefit from this clear, Christ-centered and practical resource.
