Grown Up Marriage

  • Dealing with the Past in the Present

    There isn’t a one of us that hasn’t made a mistake in their marriage. In fact there isn’t a one of us who hasn’t made many, many mistakes in our marriages. One of the more difficult realizations on the road to maturity is that we cannot change the past and must deal with those hurts…

  • Boredom an Impetus for Growth

    It came to my attention recently that the quality of marital sex falls on a continuum from allowing your spouse to use your body as a masturbatory device on one end of the continuum to making erotic love to one another at the other end of the continuum. The former, allowing your spouse access to…

  • A Confession: What I Fear

    There are times that I look at my wife and realize how little I know her even though I know her so well. I hope you understand that, or, perhaps I hope you don’t understand… The realization of how little I know about her forces me to face one of my greatest fears, never getting…

  • Hidden Desire

    My apologies as it’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted anything. I’ve spent a busy summer watching my youngest playing a lot of baseball and haven’t had the time nor the inspiration to write. As I’ve said before, I won’t post just to be posting. I only post when I think I have something to…

  • Women’s Beauty and Sex, They Both Sell

    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…

  • Personal Callings and Personal Convictions

    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…

  • It Takes More Than a, Yes…

    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…

  • Are You Wooable?

    I’ve been a member of The Marriage Bed Forum (TMB) since July of 2004. I think it’s a good community of believers committed to promoting Christian marriage. It’s a Christian forum on sex so it is also well moderated, which is what also makes it a good community. Very often a newbie will give marriage…

  • This Isn’t a Sex Blog…

    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. Second, sex is what differentiates marriage from every other relationship. Two perfectly healthy individuals married but not having sex might as well be roommates sharing expenses. Third,…
