American Plus-size Model, Ashley Graham Shares Why She and Her Husband, Justin, Make Praying A Priority Before Having Sex, Each Time

Sexual intimacy registers differently in the subconscious of every individual, however, most folks would like that the idea of performing a sex act be clearly separated from their religious consciousness. The last part is not true for plus-size American model, Ashley Graham and husband, Justin Ervin who have been married for nine years now.
In a recent interview, Graham said that sex and faith go hand in hand and says that in her household, prayer is a form of foreplay.
The 32-year-old model, who has been married to her husband Justin Ervin for nearly a decade, is currently expecting her first child and says that her marriage has never been stronger.
According to Ashley, the key to keeping the fire lit in their union over the past 9 years has been their connection with God. In a recent interview with Lily Singh, Ashley shared:
â[My husband Justin Ervin] and I have prayer nights together, because I like to do meditations and prayer and so does he on his own â but then when we do it together, it just feels more powerful,”
Graham said.
âAnd in that power when weâre praying, itâs like, âOh ⊠do you feel that?’â

âAnd weâre like: âHello!’ And next thing you know â after we pray, because we have priorities â we rip it off. Itâs a great bonding experience for both the spiritual aspect and the physical aspect.â
âWhen you fast and you pray, itâs bringing more sensitivity to hear from God,â she said. âThatâs exactly what we wanted; we were like, âOkay, we want more sensitivity to be able to hear from God in the big decisions that weâre making.âWe do it together because thereâs a verse in the Bible that says, âWhere two or more are gathered, He is in the midst.â So as we do it together, it just makes it even stronger.â
“Just have sex! Have sex all the time. Even if you donât feel like it, just have sex,â
âI have found that if we havenât had sex, we get snippy, and then if we are having sex, weâre all over each other. For us itâs like, âOh, letâs have sex.â And then weâre just right back in a great mood.â
