God created sexuality as a sacred gift—a profound way for married couples to express love, vulnerability, and unity. "Therefore a man leaves his father and mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). Yet for many couples, intimacy has become a source of shame, frustration, or pain rather than joy and connection.

Intimacy issues take many forms. Maybe you experienced sexual abuse or trauma in the past, and now sexual touch triggers fear or numbness. Perhaps you and your spouse have vastly different desires—one partner wants frequent intimacy while the other feels touched out or avoidant. Maybe you're struggling with erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, anorgasmia, or female sexual pain—physical challenges that create emotional distance. Or perhaps infidelity or betrayal has wounded your sexual relationship, and trust feels shattered.

You might feel shame about these struggles, as though healthy Christian couples simply don't have these problems. That belief isolates you further, preventing you from seeking help. The truth is: sexual and intimacy challenges are common, treatable, and deserve professional attention.

Christian sex therapy integrates current scientific research with a biblical worldview that honors sexuality as God designed it. At Reviving Hope Christian Counseling, our sex therapists address the emotional, relational, physical, and psychological dimensions of intimacy. We help couples who are recovering from affairs, working through sexual desire differences, healing from past abuse, navigating infertility, managing postpartum changes, or addressing specific sexual concerns. We understand that intimacy is more than physical—it's about emotional safety, vulnerability, spiritual connection, and genuine union.

We were created for connection. Genesis 1:26-27 tells us we're made in God's image, and that image is relational. Our sexuality is part of how we're designed for intimacy—with our spouses and ultimately with God. When that intimacy is broken or wounded, healing is possible.

Clifton Hickman and Sarah Hanlin bring both clinical expertise and compassionate understanding to these deeply personal struggles. You can talk about your body, your desires, your fears, and your shame in a safe, professional environment grounded in Christian values. We serve all of Texas—in-person in Fort Worth and online.

Your intimate relationship doesn't have to remain broken. Reach out today, and let's help you reclaim this sacred part of your marriage.
