Dove’s “Real Beauty” ad campaign has been making the rounds on Facebook and Twitter recently. I really liked what the blog little drops shared in regard to Dove’s campaign. While I am not female I do think that there is one issue here that affect men and women differently and that issue is society’s influence […]
I have friends who have been called to the mission field. It is their God ordained calling and I admire their faith and their service. Although I admire them, I am not called to their calling. God has other callings for me that require faith and service as well. Now, I could compare myself to […]
On this Saint Valentine’s Day I’m going to write about duty sex. No, it’s not a very romantic topic, but, many of you are giving it or are receiving it so I thought I write about it. We talk a lot about intimacy and how true intimacy, allowing one’s true self to be known, can […]
it’s a marriage blog. There are a number of reasons that I write so much about sex. First, I’m a married man that enjoy sex with my wife.

I’m guest posting today over at Hot, Holy and Humorous on Sexual Appetite. It’s probably not exactly what you think…
J’s post Does Sexy Lingerie Promote a Perverted View of Beauty? got me to thinking about perceived differences between men and women.

I’ve been married over 20 years and I’m still learning. You never stop learning… or growing. The questions that comes up a lot is,“How do I improve my marriage?” First, let me say that there is a TON of information out there about this and much of it is worthless tripe that has about a […]
Recently there was a discussion on a particular forum about pressure in marriage. Now the context of this pressure was that no one should do something they don’t want to do because they feel pressured. Well, I didn’t quite agree with that. See, my love for my wife makes me feel pressured to do things […]
What is the price you are paying for peace within your marriage? What part of yourself do you hide from your spouse to keep the peace in your marriage? What portion of your integrity are you selling out? Is it worth the price? We’ve all done it. We all hold back because to not do […]
A quote I read recently attributed to Laura Boyle made some things click for me. Control and intimacy are opposites. I can have one or the other, not both. ~Laura Doyle This quote clarified how Dr. David Schnarch’s (affiliate link) articles People Have Sex Within The Limits of Their Development, People Who Can’t Control Themselves […]
Intimacy is difficult A post by J at Hot, Holy & Humorous and another by Julie over at Intimacy in Marriage got me to thinking about intimacy in marriage and, no, I don’t just mean sex which spurned the Intimacy Isn’t Just a Code Word for Sex series. In the fist post of the series […]
A post by J at Hot, Holy & Humorous and another by Julie over at Intimacy in Marriage got me to thinking about intimacy in marriage and, no, I don’t just mean sex. In our last post I shared this definition for intimacy: Intimacy is the act of allowing someone to truly know the real […]
A post by J at Hot, Holy & Humorous and another by Julie over at Intimacy in Marriage got me to thinking about intimacy in marriage and, no, I don’t just mean sex. This is how I’d like us to define intimacy for this and all our discussions: Intimacy is the act of allowing someone […]
