This discussion comes up a lot when talking about sex. It’s usually framed around the concept of rights and duties. But marriage isn’t about rights and duties, it’s about love, respect, and service. One of our readers asked for a post on this topic during one of our

Survey on Christians and the prevalence of home videos and pictures of the naked variety
We’ve been talking a bit about pornography, movies with erotic content and such in them lately, and this has spawned a lot of people to ask questions about whether or not it’s okay to take home videos and/or pictures of your spouse for your enjoyment
Who’s influencing your thoughts?
Last month my pastor did a sermon series on the life of David, and he brought out a point that I felt had applications in marriage. It’s the idea of being careful who you listen to, because they can invade your thoughts, they can mess
Are you willing to live for your spouse?
A couple of weeks ago our church started 10 days of prayer. For 10 days members showed up at the church every night to pray for about an hour and a half. We prayed for our members, for our church, for ourselves. We even prayed
How NOT to quit porn
Porn has become almost ubiquitous in our society, it’s everywhere, just behind the scenes. An estimated 50% of Christian men struggle with porn addiction at some point in their life (including pastors), and the last number I heard for women was 30% and climbing. So,

Last week I put out our premarital sex survey because I’d been getting a lot of comments, emails, etc. talking about how people felt their premarital sex, even if it was with their now spouse, had damaged their marriage. As well, after our post Is my married
Premarital sexual activities survey
This survey is in response to a comment I got on our of our previous surveys. They were wondering how premarital sex affected marital sex. I asked on our Facebook page if there were any other questions people wanted answered, and this is the survey I

Likewise, there are probably a bunch of Christians who don’t know what lent is or why anyone would give sex up for it. So, I’ll address it, assuming you’ve never heard of Lent.
