Let's review the biggest posts from 2023! Happy New Year, everybody! I'm so grateful to those who follow the blog diligently, but also excited about those of you who have just found me. And at the beginning of each year, I like to look back and see what posts made...
Sometimes I feel like I'm writing into the void. I sit in my comfy yellow chair in my living room, and I just write what I'm thinking about, or what Rebecca and I have been talking about on walks, or what Keith and I have been discussing. I know people read because we...
I’m super proud of our Bare Marriage merch–and think it makes great gifts! We’re in the throes of the Christmas season now, and the deadline for buying merch and getting it delivered by Christmas is December 10, so the rush is on! And we have some awesome designs...
Rebecca's postpartum! So we thought it was the perfect time to look at the postpartum advice given in evangelical circles to women. We found in our survey that sex lives can start to go off course with the way that sex is handled postpartum. Many people don't recover...
The webinar with Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Beth Allison Barr and me is going to be awesome! We have 3000 seats available, but 2000 are already gone. So grab your seat now! On December 6 at 9 pm EST (sorry for all of you in Europe!), the three of us are sitting down with...
This week has been taken up by two things: talking about the problems with the "all men struggle with lust" message, and telling you all about our Tea and Tent Pegs event! It's time for another edition fo my Friday Round-Up, where I cover what's been going on on my...
If you've read The Great Sex Rescue, it may have opened your eyes to so much that's holding you back. But where do you go from here?Sheila here! Today Dr. Camden Morgante, a clinical psychologist and good friend, is joining us to suggest next steps after reading The...
Welcome to our first Friday Round-Up--where I highlight some of the things going on behind the scenes and the best of social media! The biggest, hugest, most amaing thing that happened this week was that Rebecca had her baby yesterday! It was a little more harrowing...
What if the reason authors can't give up the obligation sex message is that they fear women won't have sex otherwise? It's time for another edition of the Bare Marriage podcast! (And we filmed this before Rebecca gave birth; she's being induced as we speak, so that's...
Ever since 2008, I've been writing 5 posts a week, almost nonstop. I take breaks for Christmas and other holidays (sometimes), but on the whole I'm writing almost everyday! And I love it. I really do. I have so much on my mind, and so many of your comments inspire new...
I spend a lot of my days on Zoom on other people's podcasts. And on other people's podcasts I often summarize our research for The Great Sex Rescue, and talk about the issues more succinctly than I do on my own podcast, because on my own podcast I can take one episode...
I'm reeling right now. I was going to start the sexual confidence series today, and that post is 85% done, but when I got up to finish it this morning I checked my email and now I can't think straight, and so I'd just like to tell you about it instead. As I've...
Through the whole process of our survey of 20,000 women, we've been committed to doing this to academic standards. We don't want to just be another book that speaks about our opinion; we wanted to take our survey and do it right, and then submit it to peer review so...
Did you know that we have a FREE video study that goes along with The Great Sex Rescue? Be prepared for the most fun book study you'll ever do with your friends! Learn what teachings have hurt sex and marriage for women--and then purge them from your Christian...
