Sensate focus is readily integrated with Christian ideas. Couples may want to focus on enriching and reclaiming God's wonderful gift of sexuality within their marriage. Sex is a gift from God for partners to enjoy and celebrate within God's biblical guidelines for intimacy. A wonderful resource is Rosenau’s “A Celebration of Sex.”
