What if Jesus meant what he said when he told us to judge a tree by its fruit?
I (Sheila) have been writing about sex and marriage since 2008. But since January of 2019, me and my team have undertaken the largest and most comprehensive studies ever done on evangelical women’s marital and sexual satisfaction.
