Why the Doctrine of Submission Has Made Women Treat Marriage Like an Idol

Why the Doctrine of Submission Has Made Women Treat Marriage Like an Idol

by Sheila Wray Gregoire | Aug 27, 2025 | Theology of Marriage and Sex

The doctrine of submission puts our emphasis in the wrong place Recently I decided to rerun a series that I did a few years ago on submission, because I point to the posts so often, and yet most of you weren’t following me when I wrote them! And once I write...

Submission Series: What Does It Mean to Obey Like Sarah?

by Sheila Wray Gregoire | Aug 20, 2025 | Series, Theology of Marriage and Sex

It’s time to revisit submission and Sarah! Way back in 2018, even before we wrote The Great Sex Rescue, I wrote a big series on submission. I haven’t revisited it much since then because I had already written the series! But this week I’ve found...

PODCAST: What Does Authoritarianism and Complementarianism Have in Common? (with a Quiz!)

by Sheila Wray Gregoire | Aug 7, 2025 | Podcasts

What if complementarianism is authoritarianism in disguise? One of the questions that haunts us here at Bare Marriage, that we’re always trying to understand and strategize about, is how do we reach people who are still knee-deep in toxic teachings in their...

PODCAST: What is Headship in Ephesians 5 and 1 Corinthians 11? Feat. Marg Mowczko

Eve in Exile by Rebekah Merkle: The Onesheets Spread!

by Sheila Wray Gregoire | May 27, 2025 | Books, Theology of Marriage and Sex

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!
