Why do people hate our research for The Great Sex Rescue so much? Well, really hate our research for everything, including our new book She Deserves Better! Last week, a Twitter storm broke out with me at the center of it. Podcast host Patrick Miller invited Josh...
Stinky and Kissing don't go together. A while ago I started a series on kissing, and got sidetracked by some huge news stories in evangelicalism (like the terrible article up at The Gospel Coalition, or Jonathan Pokluda objectifying women in a sermon). I have a few...
Sometimes a kiss needs to just be a kiss. Mondays in February are all about kissing, and last week we started our series looking at why kissing sometimes falls by the wayside once you’re married. I listed 7 reasons kissing can stop, and then I asked you all which were...
If your wife never wants to sleep with you, and if sex has become rare in your marriage, what can you do to get your wife in the mood? A lot of my readers are actually HUSBANDS (I'm so glad you're here!), and so every now and then I like to offer up a "men's corner"...
What happens to sex when little kids come along? When you find yourselves busy and run off your feet? Every Wednesday in October we're looking at the stages of sex in marriage. Last week we looked at the "figuring things out" stage, when sex is relatively new (and I...
Why aren't you having more sex in your marriage? "Because I don't want to!" or "Because he has a low sex drive!" Those are likely the two most common reasons. And when the question comes around about why sex isn't more frequent, we usually focus on one of two things:...
What do you do if your husband wants sex everyday, but isn't interested at all in how you feel about it or how you feel during it? On Mondays I like to take a reader question and take a stab at answering it, and I thought that, since I hadn't done an Ask Sheila video...
Ever feel like your sex drives never match up--like your libidos are just never in sync? On Wednesdays this month we're looking at practical help for improving your sex life, and today I thought I'd turn to libido issues. Libido is something that I've written a LOT...
Is sex too expensive in your marriage? Don't worry--I'm not talking about prostitution! I'm actually talking about economics. Today, just for fun, I thought we'd take a look at sex in marriage from an economist's point of view. I actually ran this post a few years...
What do you do if you want sex--and your spouse doesn't? How do you NOT feel guilty for wanting sex? Every Monday I like to try to take a stab at answering a reader question. Sometimes I'll do it in video form (I hope to do one next week in video!), but this is one I...
This month on Wednesdays I'm talking about birth control! And today I want to spend a whole post dedicated towards The Pill, because it's such a common method. When I say "The Pill", though, that's a bit of a misnomer, because so many different hormonal formulas count...
How do you deal with the post-sex blues, or getting depressed right after sex? We're supposed to feel euphoria after we have sex. Our bodies release oxytocin, the bonding hormone. We're flooded with these relaxed and happy feelings. Everything is right with the world!...
What do you do when your husband is not interested in you sexually? Last week on the blog we dealt with some pretty big marriage issues--infidelity, how to talk to your kids when you're having problems, and more. This week I actually want to talk about some practical...
Has your sex life gotten boring? Help is here! We're in our second week of our Sizzling Summer Sex Series, and today I want to help those of you who feel like sex isn't sizzling whatsoever. And that is sad--because sex is meant to be awesome! It's explosive. It should...
Women, you are not living in a dream world if you want to be married to a guy who doesn't lust. It is perfectly reasonable, and utterly biblical, to expect that your husband will not lust after other women--or at least will actively fight a battle with this temptation...
