July 04, 2018

Brandee Nielsen + Mary Whitman Ortiz

Coffee Talk Topic: Sex By God’s Design This episode is all about sex. Yikes! Did I just write that? Well yes, in a Godly sense within marriages that is. We’ll dive deep into why women may experience intimacy blocks in their marriage, and how she can break them! Host Brandee Nielsen says, “let’s be real, we are not all having healthy sexual relationships with our husbands as God intended for us to enjoy. On the contrary, there are many women who loathe even the thought of it.” Let’s find out why in this interview! You don’t have to be married to be encouraged by our discussion, what we’re talking about is also for the marriage minded. Featured Guest: Mary Whitman Ortiz Mary is a speaker, author, and certified life coach specializing in “emotional and sexual intimacy” in marriages. Mary has a Masters Degree in Education with an emphasis on social and emotional needs of the gifted. As a trained facilitator with “Adventures in Marriage” and “Prepare-Enrich” Mary coaches couples through their intimacy blocks and into meaningful connectedness. Mary shares a mountain of nuggets from her two-book series titled, Why Can’t I Talk To Him About Sex, and Why Can’t I Talk to Her About Sex? Host Brandee Nielsen asked “are the books intended only for married couples? Can they help anyone who is marriage minded, or even those who are no longer married? Mary replied, “Oh I love the expression that you used, marriage-minded! That's a wonderful foundation. If you want to grow your marriage, heal from a former marriage, or to create a new marriage full of strength, then there are some wonderful questions in these books. The core of each book is a 20-item-questionnaire that dives into blocks to intimacy. We don't know what our blocks are. If we knew, they wouldn't be blocks anymore. So it's a deep work to identify what's going on, but once you do, you’re able to do something with it.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Connect with Mary at www.marywhitmanortiz.com Subscribe to the Christian Coffee Talk Podcast on iTunes Podcast, Google Play Podcast, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and Stitcher.
