PODCAST: Good Fruit–Are We Measuring It Right When it Comes to Christian Marriage Teaching?

by Sheila Wray Gregoire | Jul 30, 2026 | Connecting, Podcasts, Theology of Marriage and Sex

How do you actually measure the “good fruit” of marriage teaching? Over the last little while, we’ve been criticized for saying that it’s good fruit if marriages are happy, while ignoring the more important things like whether people are...
Can Complementarians Have Great Sex?

Can Complementarians Have Great Sex?

by Sheila Wray Gregoire | Jun 1, 2026 | Theology of Marriage and Sex

Is it necessary to critique complementarianism to help people have a better sex life? One of the critiques I get at Bare Marriage is that I’d be more impactful if we stopped critiquing complementarianism so much. I was talking last week about a big podcast that...

Why the Bare Marriage Research Studies Are So Ground-Breaking (And You Can Trust Them!)

by Sheila Wray Gregoire | May 20, 2026 | Research

There’s been a big uptick lately of men especially on social media accusing us of having biased research in our study of 20,000 women. I don’t normally address these issues from the blog, because, quite frankly, our work speaks for itself. We did the...

Have you ever noticed that a lot of common Christian sex advice just sounds really icky?

Sex is supposed to be great. Like, really great. So great that it’s hard to keep your hands off each other great. 

So why do so many Christian marriage books present it as another chore to check off of a woman’s to-do list? 

Why do so many Christian sex books portray men as doomed to sexual deviancy? 

We’re on a mission to change the conversation about sex in evangelical spaces. And to do that, we started by scoring our current best-sellers based on a Healthy Sexuality Scorecard. 

Want to see how your favourite book scored? 

You can download the rubric and scorecard (including quotes that explain the score) here, for free!
