Opening Discussion Questions
Which of the following views of sex were you taught growing up and why?
  • Hedonistic view: Everything is about sex. Sex is the ultimate and greatest pleasure
  • Contemporary view: Just a biological function so what’s the big deal?
  • Religious view: Dirty and/or weird and save it for the one you love!
  • Avoidance view = Just don’t even talk about it. To be avoided at all cost.
What is the biblical view of sex and why does it matter?
What are some ways the world's scripts of sex conflict with God's design for sex?

For Singles
• What can you do now to build a foundation for great married sex during this season of your life?
• Do you agree that God created sex to be enjoyed only by married couples? Why or why not? What challenges you about this biblical standard?
• Tell about a relationship where you experienced absolute trust.  How can you build that, especially if trust has been broken?
For Married Couples
• What is the sexiest non-sexual thing your spouse does that’s attractive to you?
• What’s something you really like about your spouse that you probably don’t say often enough?
• In what ways can you make your spouse’s sexual fulfillment a priority?
• What obstacles get in the way of making your sex life satisfying for both of you?
End with a challenge to take action. Lead your group to help each person identify their next steps.
• What commitments do you need to make for your sexuality to be God-honoring?
• What will you do to get past any baggage you have in this area and make a new start?
