Refreshing Intimacy in Marriage

In this single session E-course, taught by Ryan Sturgis—pastor, biblical counselor, and founder of Biblical Solutions for Life—you will received biblical insight and practical tools to strengthen intimacy in your marriage. Marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts, but many couples struggle to maintain intimacy over the years. Too often intimacy is misunderstood, reduced only to physical closeness, or assumed to happen naturally with time. In reality, intimacy must be cultivated, protected, and continually renewed. That is the heart behind the Refreshing Intimacy in Marriage e-course.

This course is grounded in Scripture and shaped by nearly two decades of counseling and pastoral ministry. Originally presented at a marriage conference, this material resonated deeply with couples, leading Ryan to expand it into a practical resource now available as a course for every marriage.

This biblical, practical course will help couples:

• Identify six myths about intimacy that often sabotage closeness.

• Redefine intimacy in its fullness, including emotional, spiritual, and relational depth—not only physical expression.

• Understand vulnerability and safety as the two essential building blocks of lasting intimacy.

• Use a simple assessment tool to measure current intimacy and identify areas for growth.

• Develop a framework for intimacy that can be adapted to any culture, background, or season of marriage.

Through this course, you will learn that intimacy is not static, nor does it occur automatically. Like a wind-up toy that loses momentum unless rewound, intimacy requires ongoing investment. Conflict does not always reduce intimacy; handled properly, it can build trust and deepen connection. Attraction alone is not intimacy, and no single factor guarantees closeness. True intimacy flows from the interwoven strands of communication, forgiveness, trust, and unity in Christ.

Whether your marriage feels distant or simply needs a refresh, this course offers biblical wisdom and hope. Every couple—whether newly married, in the middle years, or decades into the journey—can experience renewed intimacy by applying these principles.

With clear teaching, relatable examples, and practical steps, Refreshing Intimacy in Marriage equips couples to build relationships that reflect Christ’s love. The result is not just personal satisfaction but marriages marked by closeness, strength, and joy—intimacy that honors both your spouse and the Lord.
