Discover the freedom, holiness, and beauty of sex in marriage. Intimacy and sex should flow from an attitude of true selflessness. A verse-by-verse look at the Song of Solomon, Intimacy Ignited shows couples how to fire up and maintain the flames of a passionate marriage. Sex plays a vital role in every healthy marriage, yet there’s more to intimacy than just sex. If your marriage doesn’t have the passion it once did, learn why romance and intimacy is all about being a servant lover. Part marriage manual, part commentary, and part Bible study, Intimacy Ignited is a great resource.

Praise for Intimacy Ignited

Driven by Scripture, Intimacy Ignited obtains the remarkable achievement of being both profoundly holy and intensely erotic. Tastefully written yet unabashedly frank, this book presents sex by God’s design. Read it and apply what you learn. It’s one of the best gifts you can give your marriage.

—Gary L. Thomas, author of Sacred Marriage and Not the End but the Road

Let’s face it. Your bank account isn’t going to grow by accident or good intentions. Neither is your sex life. Thank you, Dillows and Pintuses, for dragging our conversation out of the Dark Ages and into the light of our good Father’s design. May we never go back.

—Megan and Jared Anderson, worship leader, songwriter, and composer of Great I Am
