Intimacy by Design: A Devotional on Sex, Marriage, and the Gospel-for Preteens/Teens and Parents____Intimacy by Design is a 14-chapter devotional that opens the door for honest, grace-filled conversations between parents and preteens/teens about love, sex, marriage, identity, and God's beautiful design for connection. It's not about awkward lectures or fear-based rules-it's about helping young hearts understand the "why" behind intimacy and the gospel truth that anchors it.

With biblical wisdom, relatable language, and space for both parent and preteen/teen to reflect, this devotional covers everything from emotional intimacy and spiritual connection to setting boundaries and processing curiosity. Each chapter includes:

• A short, engaging teaching
• Thoughtful discussion questions
• A "Drawing Closer" section to help preteens/teens to experience Jesus in everyday life
• A "Parents' Promise" that fosters safety, openness, and mutual respect

Whether you're just beginning these conversations or looking for a space to guide you with clarity and love, this devotional is a meaningful starting point for families who want to walk in truth-together.
