Helping newlywed wives create intentional happily-ever-afters.
What should a wife focus on to strengthen sexual intimacy with her husband?
I am trying to write around monthly topics, and this month we are journeying through sex and intimacy.
We started with Dear Christians, It’s Okay to Talk About Sex where we explored sexual misconceptions and how to overcome them.
Then last week we looked as 6 things a wife can do when her husband has low libido –> When Your Husband Has a Lower Sex Drive.
Are all men primed to want more sex than their wives? Or do some husbands have a lower sex drive?
Most women come into marriage expecting a chase to the bedroom. All their lives they heard men crave sex like the air they breathe but women? Not so much.
So they prep and lace up for the chase in marriage. But for some, the pursuit never comes.
In most marriages, husbands do have a higher sex drive. Being visual creatures, many men desire sex as a more urgent feeling than their wives.* (See note below.)
Is teenage rebellion inevitable?
If you follow me on social media, perhaps you’ve seen my posts on raising kids who will not reject God. A lot of my readers are newlyweds (no kids) or unmarried.
But many of you have children!
So when my friend, Rebecca released her new book Why I didn’t Rebel, I wanted to share it with you, because I’ve been reading it and it is so good!
If you don’t have kids now or your children are little, it’s still a fantastic resource because it helps you see what you can do now to set up for better teen years!
Sex is not a comfortable talking point among Christians.
The whole of last week we were discussing the importance of framing the sexual conversation, starting at a young age.
I introduced a resource to help moms give their daughters “The Talk” and in the course of the week, shared bits and pieces of my story with my email subscribers.
Today, I want to go deeper and invite you to tag along as we explore sexual misconceptions and how to get to a healthier place.
So I am one of those kids who loathed growing up.
A lot of my angst had to do with the fact that I wanted to be a boy.
When my chest started budding and my hips started widening and weird moods set in, my ambition of becoming a boy was shot.
What followed was the most dreary season of my little life.
Here are five things I wish someone told me about growing up.
I started my periods when I was thirteen years old. Blood coming out of my body every single month forever? I was horrified. Then the cramps started.
How do you find hope when your world falls apart?
A few weeks ago, Rebekah Hallberg reached out and told me about her (and co-author, Jen) new book. I love her blog and the encouragement she shares with wives, so I was excited to read it.
I got the book and read it. In one sitting while waiting for a delayed flight.
The book, Hope the Hurting Wife is one of the best resources I’ve read for the wife in a hurting marriage. Are you hurting? Broken? Lost all hope? Or simply want to know how to hold on when the “for worse” part of marriage comes?
Where is God when storms, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, famines and other natural disasters strike?
If you’ve been reading or watching the news lately, you’ve seen the devastation caused by the two Atlantic storms, Harvey and Irma.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected and many lives have been lost. Countless lost their homes, earthly possessions. And hope. The hit to the economy is estimated to be in the billions.
I’ve been thinking and wrestling in prayer over the state of our world: because for every disaster that makes it to national and international news, there are tens more that don’t.
