I was blown away by your messages of encouragement yesterday, here and on Facebook.
Thank you so much!
I got up this morning with something I wanted to write that I’ve been thinking about, but you all told me to rest, so I think I’ll leave it and write about it when I’m home!
Instead today I thought I’d share some of my more popular Instagram posts–my “Fixed it For Yous.” These are all quotes that we looked at in The Great Sex Rescue (I have a whole spreadsheet of problematic quotes from best-sellers), and I just fix them!
The next two go together–they’re a “set”.
And then I post some quotes from our book, too, to counteract the negativity!
I have a lot of fun with these. And, full disclosure, the idea for “Fixed it for You” was Rebecca’s. Most of the good ideas are hers!
Anyway, make sure you’re following me on Instagram to see more!
And, again, thank you for all your encouragement yesterday. It meant so much.
The Great Sex Rescue
Changing the conversation about sex & marriage in the evangelical church.
What if you're NOT the problem with your sex life?
What if the things that you've been taught have messed things up--and what if there's a way to escape these messages?
Welcome to the Great Sex Rescue.

Sheila Wray Gregoire has been married for 29 years and happily married for 24! She loves traveling around North America with her hubby in their RV, giving her signature "Girl Talk" about sex and marriage. And she's written 7 books. About sex and marriage. See a theme here? Plus she knits. Even in line at the grocery store.
I’ve got one.
A little while back, a poster remarked about how at a church group she went to, the women would have a competition to see who was the most submissive to their husbands. Instead, it would be better for them to celebrate how equal they are in the marriage.
I always hold the door open for a lady and I have never once thought it was to get a certain glance as she goes by after me. If she’s beautiful, I’ll notice anyway, but it doesn’t mean objectifying her.
I know! That’s just what decent people do. The way that they reduce it to something crass is so gross.
Yes, that one made me so sad. I wonder how many decent guys, who have always held doors open out of genuine politeness, felt awkward and embarrassed to do so after reading that, because they’re worrying that this is how women will view their attempts to be polite!
Thank you, Sheila, for doing what God has called you to do with your time and energy. I am sooo very grateful that God is doing a healing work through you. You are doing the good works He has prepared for you to do. I pray that you do not pay attention to discouraging, disparaging remarks from those that oppose the work you do and that you remember that this work you do if for the Lord!
I am so glad you’ve gotten encouragement from many others and I just wanted to add to it. I don’t post comments very often, but I often read your posts and buy your books.
You have made a big difference in my marraige and my whole life and I thank you profusely!
I finished reading The Great Sex Rescue about a week ago.
Today I read this blog post, and wondered how you would “fix it” for me: https://www.crosswalk.com/family/marriage/engagement-newlyweds/7-ways-to-give-your-husband-breathing-room.html?utm_source=Daily%20Bible%20Living&utm_campaign=Daily%20Bible%20Living%20-%20BibleStudyTools.com&utm_medium=email&utm_content=5099680&recip=549486853
Wow, that’s really bad, isn’t it? I’d point that author to my month long series on emotional labor and mental load, and I’d sit that couple down and tell him that he needs to take on some of the mental load of the household.
