Christian parenting advice is full of toxic teachings we need to ditch! It's not just marriage and sex where a lot of Christian teachings have gone wrong. It's also with parenting. Instead of teaching parents to connect with their kids and discipline in a way that...
It's time to talk about orgasms! We spend a lot of time on the Bare Marriage podcast and blog talking about what's gone WRONG in evangelical teaching. But we also want to teach how to make things go right. Four years ago, after we had finished our research for The...
Not all men are predators. A lot of men are very good guys. But far too many are predators, and over the last 10 days I've been so angry as I've been reading about the criminal trial in France for the sexual assault of Gisele Pelicot (this is horrid to read about, so...
There's a very line between way TMI and just sharing educational information. And in today's Start Your Engines Podcast (we like to take the last Thursday of every month and dedicate it to a podcast that men would be interested in as well), we try to show how men and...
Okay, for the podcast title I actually called this one "All About Boobs" but I couldn't bring myself to put that on the title for the blog! Rebecca and I are talking about EVERYTHING to do with breasts today, as it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and some disturbing...
We often get asked to do a podcast that parents can listen to WITH their teens to talk about some of the issues we often raise. People want a good resource and a good way to talk about important stuff with their kids, but sometimes our podcasts just aren't...
Ever heard Christian resources tell you that the male sex drive is something that women can't possibly understand? That men are visual in a way that women never will be? That sex matters to a man in a way that it doesn't to a woman? It's all over our Christian...
We had FUN doing this podcast! And it's a hands-on podcast, too. We're going to walk you through how to tell if the marriage/parenting/sex books on your bookshelf are healthy or not. So grab a couple of books and a cup of coffee or tea, and let's get started! Oh, and...
Are you making sex harder than it needs to be in your marriage? We're in the middle of our doing marriage on hard mode series, and today we're talking about doing sex on hard mode! (and, yes, I know that's a double entendre). We've got a lighthearted look via...
In marriage, we're not supposed to be unequally yoked. We tend to think of that as meaning that we shouldn't marry unbelievers. But what if it's more than that? In today's podcast we do a little hip hop across different topics, because we had numerous small things we...
Are we making marriage too hard? It's September, and that means a new series on the blog (and on the podcast!). This month we're going to be talking about marriage on hard mode--or rather how to AVOID hard mode in your marriage! And we thought we'd begin with the...
It's time for our Start Your Engines podcast, and today we're asking if Christian resources are causing male fragility--or at least making male fragility sound widespread. Our belief is that men and women are equally made in the image of God, and one is not closer to...
We're doing something different on our podcast this week. We're giving you a sneak peek at our unfiltered podcast that our patrons get access to when they support our research! This week we hit a new milestone: 100 patrons on Patreon. And we're so grateful!The Patreon...
So what's up with direct communication? Why is it so hard? And how can we do it better? This week on the podcast we're summarizing our whole direct communication series in half an hour, so that you can share it with your spouse! Plus we're looking at a unique way to...
The Bare Marriage Podcast is back for Season 4! And we thought we'd start with a little victory dance. I didn't actually know this was season 4, but Katie (my daughter who does all the editing for the podcasts) informed me that we were now starting season 4. So yay!...
