Open communication, mutual respect, and continuous checking-in are key to ensuring the best experience for you and your partner.

[Hands OFF! @HandsOffNG]

Listening is a big part of consent - when you check in with your partner to know if they’re comfortable or not, if you’re listening attentively, you’ll be able to tell how they really feel.

[Hands OFF! @HandsOffNG]

Communication is not always verbal, so it’s good to watch out for their facial expressions, body language, and even their tone when speaking.

It's very important to listen, understand, and acknowledge any withdrawal or changes in consent.

Good morning! Remember 👇🏾

[Hands OFF! @HandsOffNG]

Consent is always intentionally asked for, and intentionally given - and that’s a great thing!

Looking out for the boundaries of your partner(s) and respecting them allows you to have an easier connection with them.

[Hands OFF! @HandsOffNG]

Consent is important in marriage because it establishes mutual respect and trust between partners. It ensures that both partners feel ✨comfortable and safe✨ in their sexual experiences and that they are fully willing participants.

[Hands OFF! @HandsOffNG]

In a marriage, both (or all) partners have the right to set boundaries and make decisions about their own bodies, and enthusiastic consent ensures that those boundaries and decisions are respected.

3. Respect their boundaries and avoid pressuring them to take any actions they're not comfortable with.

4. Be patient, understanding, and compassionate, and remind them that the assault was not their fault.

[Hands OFF! @HandsOffNG]

Supporting a survivor of sexual assault involves creating a safe and non-judgmental space for them to share their experience. #survivors #support

1. Believe them, listen actively, and validate their feelings.

2. Offer practical help and encourage them to seek professional support, such as therapy or counseling.

Listen to their response and respect their boundaries. If they say no or seem hesitant, don't push the issue. Remember, enthusiastic consent is essential for healthy and respectful relationships! #consent

We’re glad you asked!

To ask for consent, it's important to be clear and direct. Start by asking if the person is comfortable with what you're proposing. For example, "Is it okay if I kiss you?" (This will not ruin the vibe, we promise). #consent

Consent is usually brought up in conversations about sex, but it isn’t just about sex! It’s a key part of everything we do in life. Consent is also about:

- Respecting boundaries
- Understanding power dynamics
- Valuing our individual autonomy

#consent

[Hands OFF! @HandsOffNG]

This is a common belief, but the truth is that marriage does not take away a person’s agency.

Part of respecting your partner is understanding that they can say no to sex (or anything else), and honouring it when they do.

[The Transformed Wife 🦋 @godlywomanhood]

Worldly people says that sex is all about "consent." In marriage, it's not. Couples are commanded to NOT deprive each other, and women are commanded to submit to their husbands in EVERYTHING except sin.

By saying it's about consent, you give women the freedom to decide to have sex only when they feel like it and when they're in the mood. This isn't biblical! We submit joyfully to our husband in everything, yes, even in sex.

When husbands know their wives are doing everything they can to please them in this area, they will definitely consider times when their wives just are unable to have sex. Husbands shouldn't even have to ask for sex. Wives should be available to them as God commands.

Consent is an expected standard, not a bonus effort. Expecting a reward after asking for consent can create a sense of entitlement or expectation, and if the reward isn’t provided, it can lead to a negative response.

Happy Monday! Talk about consent today 🥰

It’s always a good day to talk about consent and boundaries to each other. The earlier we have conversations about it and the more frequently we do so, the better we will be for it.

When kids are well-educated about sex, they can develop healthy relationships and make informed decisions about their sexual relationships when they reach maturity.
