Episode Notes

Hi there! Thanks for tuning into this episode with us.

We are so grateful to have the opportunity to get this episode with the lovely guest, Jared Hawkins, to our listeners! This topic is an important one, as waiting to be sexually intimate with a partner until marriage can cause a lot of nerves, unvoiced expectations, and unknowns to create issues early on. We are breaking down those barriers of discomfort in this episode with Jared to bring you a frank and vulnerable conversation of our experiences, his knowledge and wisdom, and some great advice to guide you and your future spouse through this transition.

Here is a little about our wonderful guest:

Jared Hawkins graduated with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Brigham Young University. He is completing a dissertation for his PhD at Texas Tech University, studying young adults’ sense of community. Jared teaches an undergraduate communications course at Texas Tech University and offers therapy services at Covenant Sex Therapy, where he helps individuals and couples with sex-related issues, including sexual dysfunctions, unwanted pornography use, and sexual desire discrepancies.
