Mary - Sex, Love & Christianity

What happens when you’ve experienced casual relationships and sex, but have religious beliefs where that would be frowned upon?  Today Lucy meets Mary, who is a conservative Anglican Christian. Her church follows the bible very strictly in terms of theology, and they believe that relationships should be intentional; that is with the intent to marry.  Mary was raised as a Christian, but slipped away from the church when she was at university, where she experienced sexual relationships outside of marriage. Now in her thirties, Mary is single and has returned to the church.    In this episode, she talks to Lucy about being an anomaly in her church, how she identifies as bisexual but would never have a relationship with a woman, and how her beliefs have affected her friendship and relationships.    Subscribe for latest episodes and please rate and review https://www.lucycavendishcounselling.com/love-coaching/ @aurrastudios Twitter, Insta, Facebook, LinkedIn  Presented by Lucy Cavendish Executive Producer Ben Freeman Produced by Ami Bennett and Faye Lawrence Hosted on Acast.
