Every Young Man’s Battle is the only book I ever reviewed that made me weep. Perhaps it’s because I read it after I had already read a whole bunch of books aimed at teen girls, and it was just the straw that broke the camel’s back. But I think there was a whole other...
I have met the most incredible, insightful people over the last few years. For ten years, my circle online tended to be the typical Christian authors. I was friends with many of them. I blogged with people who supported their ministries. I was right in the middle of...
Please hear me on this: Not all men have lust problems. In fact, while it may be common, it is not what you'd call "normal", where we should just expect it to happen, and if guys don't have lust problems, they're unusual unicorns. Lust is saying:What Lust Says: "when...
Sometimes sex goes wrong--and you really need to seek some professional help! There are times in every married couple’s life where the sexual part of their relationship is a little rockier than usual. Often it's circumstantial--maybe you just moved, or you're dealing...
Here at Bare Marriage we get a LOT of reader questions--especially about sex! We can't answer anything personally, but Tammy (who goes through them all) does set aside ones that are particularly interesting, crop up a lot, or I haven't answered before. And we've got a...
Summer is here, and many of us are heading to the beach! But what do you do if the beach is a minefield because your husband checks out other women? Some women have written in having this problem. Here's one woman who says that whenever they're in public (even at the...
It's time for a new episode of the Bare Marriage podcast! I hope you all will listen, but if you don't have time, I'll have some links and rabbit trails below so you can read all you want as well! And consider this podcast "extras". If you want to go deeper into what...
How do you get ready for sex in marriage? Instead of doing a typical post today, I have a few quick things that I want to share. First, do we set too high expectations for the wedding night? Why is sex often so difficult early on for so many couples? I sat down with...
Many of us jump into marriage never knowing terms for various aspects of sex. Even if we understand the basics of "the deed," proper words and terms aren't always taught. This month, during Wednesday posts, I’ve been talking about sex ed for Christians. I really...
When I give my Girl Talk, I often have questions about sex leftover that I didn't get a chance to answer. I'm just back from a speaking trip out in Alberta, where I did two Girl Talks and one general women's event. My Girl Talks are so much fun! It's a night at your...
What if the reason sex doesn't feel good for some women is that they haven't had a chance to learn what arousal feels like? It's Rebecca on the blog today. We get a ton of emails and comments from women with low libido, and a lot of them are quite similar to this...
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...
If your husband wants you to do a striptease or send him sexy photos, doesn't that mean he's perverted? Do you have to indulge him? Every Monday I like to post a reader question and take a stab at answering it, and I found one from a few years ago that I thought was...
Porn addictions do not discriminate. For the last few weeks, I have been writing about how we need to change the way we talk about sex in church; sex is not just for men, but for women as well. However, the same applies to porn. It is not just men who are getting...
How can a man be a generous lover? Last week we talked about what it took for a wife to be a generous lover. And all month we've been looking at what it means for sex to be a mutual experience--where it's meant to be good for both of you, where both of you are the...
