Every marriage brings a past into the present.

For many couples, that past includes experiences, expectations, wounds, or shame that quietly affect intimacy and connection today. When sexual baggage goes unspoken, it can create distance, insecurity, and misunderstanding between spouses.

In Episode 282 of The Family Meeting Podcast, we talk honestly and compassionately about sexual baggage in marriage, what it is, how it shows up, and how couples can move toward healing and healthy intimacy without blame or shame.

In this episode, we cover:

• What sexual baggage really means and where it comes from.
• How past experiences influence expectations and emotional safety.
• The impact of comparison, insecurity, and shame on intimacy.
• How to have difficult conversations safely with your spouse.
• Biblical principles for forgiveness, renewal, and restoration.
• Practical steps to rebuild trust and connection over time.

If the past feels like it's affecting your present relationship, this episode offers hope, clarity, and a path forward toward deeper connection and God-honoring intimacy.
