Even IF Women Want Love More than Respect–Is That a Good Thing?
We've all heard the trope that men need respect while women need love. It's in the best-selling book Love & Respect, which I have critiqued copiously. And as we pointed out in a podcast on the problems with unconditional respect, the whole foundation for the "men...
“New Evangelicals” and Podcasts about The Great Sex Rescue!
We're taking July off of The Bare Marriage Podcast, so I have some other podcasts to share with you today! Even though I'm not recording my own (I just need a bit of a rest!), I've been doing non-stop interviews on other people's podcasts since January. So I thought...
“The Church Needs a New Sex Talk”
"The church cannot continue to treat sexual desires as a male-only issue." That's in the conclusion of a big article in Relevant Magazine about The Great Sex Rescue. The three of us--Rebecca, Joanna and me--were all interviewed for the article, and I'm so thrilled...
Can Churches Make Room for Stay at Home Dads?
I was blown away by the many great comments on yesterday's post on stay at home dads. Across my platforms I had a lot of feedback, and i was going to write something else today, but several themes kept emerging from the comments, so I thought we could talk about it a...
What Women Believe about Stay-At-Home Dads–Despite What the Church Teaches
On the whole, women who attend church tend to believe, or are even more likely to believe, several key evangelical teachings about sex. It makes sense. If you invest in your church culture, your beliefs tend to line up with the church culture. And as we found in The...
Don’t Tell Women to Have Sex So He Won’t Watch Porn
Telling a woman that the way she stops her husband from watching porn is to have sex with him is toxic. I'm getting ready to pack up our RV and leave the campground. It's been a great few weeks relaxing, knitting, and processing, and I'm grateful. And as we're...

I've been overwhelmed with the encouragement from all of you this week while I've been on vacation. As I shared with you on Tuesday, I've got a lot to process lately, and I needed some time away after a really busy, non-stop year of writing books and launching books...
You’ve Got to See These “Fixed it for Yous”!
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 Just Processing Some Grief–and Trying to Let Myself off the Hook
We were supposed to go home from camping last Friday, but we extended for another week because I need it. "Camping" is perhaps too strong a word. We're actually sitting quite comfortably in our RV with a fridge, stove, and even an air conditioner, so we're hardly...
Why We Need to Stop Talking about Resolving Conflict in Marriage
What does it mean to “resolve conflict”? We've been talking so much about sex lately since The Great Sex Rescue launched, and that's been great. But I thought this week I may revisit some of the important things I've written about marriage in general that many of my...
