Sexuality

I confess.  I am a reluctant blogger.  It’s true I enjoy reading blogs of some gifted writers I follow.  I am not a gifted writer so please bear with me! Today my task is to write about God’s design for human sexuality.  I’m the resident sex therapist at Stonegate and sex is my area of expertise.  Over the next several months, I will be blogging about sexuality and sexual issues.  For starters, the creation story in Genesis tells us that God created us male and female (Genesis 1:27).  It is fascinating to discover that in Hebrew the word for man “ish” was not used until God created woman—“ishshah” (Genesis 2:23).  We are uniquely created masculine and feminine—both in the image of God—and it takes both to accurately reflect the image of God.  God’s design for human sexuality is amazing and beautiful and includes a plan for meaningful sexual intimacy.  Thanks for your patience with me as I learn how to blog.  Blessings, Phyllis
