This has been a week of great thrills and great disappointments. Thankfully, the thrills were REALLY GOOD. Our new books The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex and The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex launched, and they're doing really well! Thank you for your support. Let's...
If we had had these Great Sex Guides before we got married, there would be no Great Sex Rescue. No To Love, Honor and Vacuum blog. No Bare Marriage podcast. Why? Because we wouldn't have had years of pain that we had to untangle from, so I wouldn't have started...
Dads shouldn't need their adult daughters to give them adulation and affection. That's called emotional enmeshment and triangulation, and yet that's what Voddie Baucham, who has been nominated for President of the Southern Baptist Convention (he may not actually run)...
On my Friday Round-Ups I like to focus on things that have happened around the web on social media, because that's where so much conversation takes place. And you can miss it if you only watch the blog! There are two big things from my own social media I want to share...
Two weeks ago on the podcast we told you about a women who wrote in to Emerson Eggerichs of Love & Respect, saying she was crying in the shower before sex. She said that if she didn't have sex with her husband, he would treat her very badly. His response? Her...
How do you know when you've done enough foreplay? We're starting a new series on the blog right now, leading up to the release of the Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex and the TOTALLY REVAMPED AND REWRITTEN Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex on March 15!You can Pre-Order The...
What if setting up marriage as a hierarchy, where men make the decisions, isn't good for men either? We know that it can lead to problems for women (as we talked about yesterday), but what if it can hurt men too? On Tuesdays I don't do huge posts, but several amazing...
Sheila here! My husband Keith's manifesto on Wednesday about how the evangelical church has treated women went quite big, and he has one more thing he'd like to say. This all fits well in what we're talking about this month about putting the "Christ" back in...
Most of us agree that you shouldn't have to submit to an abusive husband. But what if you're married to a good husband? I get lots of emails from women who believe in hierarchy in marriage, where the woman submits her will to her husband and follows his decisions....
At what point do we realize that something is terribly off with the way the evangelical church sees women? Today, on the Start Your Engines men's focus of the podcast for the last Thursday of the month, Keith talks about his manifesto from yesterday and encourages men...
I've been thinking lately about how much women are often made invisible or ignored. Specifically, I've been reading through Every Young Man's Battle (I'll write a review soon; I just need to process its awfulness first), and I'm amazed at how the authors keep telling...
Everyday for the last month I've received multiple social media messages asking me to write a review of the Redeeming Love movie. Redeeming Love was originally a novel written by Francine Rivers in 1991, and it quickly became one of the best-selling Christian novels...
Can we stop objectifying women and treat us like whole people, made in the image of God? We've been talking about putting the "Christ" back in Christian marriage this month, and part of that is by treating women as the Imago Dei (made in the image of God) instead of...
I'm all fired up about the fact that people still consider Emerson Eggerichs an authority on marriage and sex. As most of you know, every year in this week in January we revisit the problems with the book Love & Respect, in the hopes that more and more people...
Ever notice how all Scripture readings at weddings seem to sound the same--like the Bible has a very small marriage playbook? In January I want to talk about how to put the "Christ" back in "Christian marriage advice", and how to focus on Jesus again. And it reminded...
