“The biggest misstep that we've taken is that we’ve flattened this robust, multi-dimensional, layered, nuanced experience of our sexuality into a one-dimensional act of sex. We’ve flattened this experience into a set do's and don'ts.⁠ ♥️⁠ It’s much easier to preach ‘Don’t even get close. Just don’t do anything at all.’ It’s much easier to offer a black and white sound bite than to equip people to actually seek God and look at the scriptures.” -- @therefinedwoman⁠ ♥️⁠ SINGLE people - take the time to tune into this episode and be enlightened with HOW to express your sexuality as a single person.

The issue of shame, not just about pornography, but shame around sexuality in general, is probably the #1 issue we see in our counseling office. Some are coming into counseling because of sexual issues or they’re coming in for other reasons and, as we dig to the root, we often realize that it’s due to shame around sexuality.⁠ ♥️⁠ We, as parents, can mitigate this if we’re working with our children from a young age to have open conversations around sexuality. We can celebrate sexuality and we can even be the “go-to” for our children when they have questions on these topics.” Recommended Resources: SEXPECTATIONS Card Deck for Married Couples (by Yours Truly) The Talk: 7 Lessons to Introduce Your Children to Biblical Sexuality by Luke Gilkerson Sex, Purity and the Longings of a Girl's Heart by Kristen Clark and Bethany Beal A Celebration of Sex: A Guide to Enjoying God's Gift of Sexual Intimacy by Doug Rosenau The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex by Sheila Wray Gregoire Stay in conversation with us on IG: @dearyoungmarriedcouple or on our website: www.dearyoungmarriedcouple.com Join us for the next Monthly Live Date Night where we dig into some of these topics with you LIVE for 90 minutes this month!

🎉 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Coming to an Amazon near you in February: FUNDAMENTOS Baraja de cartas 🎉 ♥ You guys! We can't tell you how excited we are for this project to come to fruition. So many of you have asked about the DYMC card decks being available in Spanish because you have a spouse, friends, or family members who don't know English, but would love this resource. This has been in the works for a long time and it will finally be ready to ship to you (2-Day Prime shipping on Amazon) in February. Listen to Adriel and Magdiel (who also served on the translation team) share their experience with the #DYMCdecks: ♥ “The FUNDAMENTOS deck has been such a blessing to us! Every Friday, we have date night and on our way to the place, we do the DYMC cards (but we usually only get through one card)! We spend all 30 minutes talking about ONE thing. Oftentimes, the one card gets us started talking about different topics that we really needed to talk about. ♥ In our culture, it’s not common for men to be very open. On top of that, even if the husband IS being open, sometimes we don’t even know where to start. It can be so frustrating to have the desire for your suppose to really understand how you’re feeling, but not know the words to start a deep conversation like that. ♥ The cards do a great job of breaking down the wall for men to be sensitive about your feelings. It just takes a little card from this deck that can provide an opportunity for you to express yourself and be vulnerable to your spouse. ♥ Sometimes my husband even wants to dig further and says, ‘Tell me more about this!’ These decks have been such a blessing to our marriage that now we even keep them in our car.” — Adriel Solís and Magdiel De Salas de Solís. ♥ Listen to this episode with our Dominican (+Puerto Rican, +Wisconsian 😅) friends as they share some powerful insights about their experience in a Hispanic culture and observing many other Hispanic cultures.

"But when you turn off your emotions to the people you love, all it does is create distance. Especially us, as men. We tend to turn off all emotion, even when we don’t need to. That used to be me, but it all changed after I found myself on Ground Zero as a firefighter during 9/11.⁠ ♥️⁠ The NYC fire department lost 343 firefighters. Being there on that day was like being on another planet. I saw so many people I knew just... vanish. But it was the months afterwards that were incredibly stressful.⁠ ♥️⁠ We firefighters don’t get a lot of help with learning to talk about stressful events. We learn to separate our work from our home and that’s about it. The problem was that my wife was stressed out too. She felt like she couldn’t talk to me because she didn’t want to make me feel worse. Then, I couldn’t talk to her because I didn’t want to bring work home. What do you think started happening to my marriage?⁠ ♥️⁠ There was no oxygen to give life to my marriage, so the distance crept in. So much of what I teach now is what I learned to do back then. It's called Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). I never thought I’d be traveling around the world talking about emotions. It’s all about flexibility. If we’re okay getting help to turn it off, we should all be okay getting help to turn it back on.” — George Faller, MS, LMFT You can reach George Faller at: www.georgefaller.com www.successandvulnerability.com - for therapists New York Center for EFT George recommended: Magnificent Sex by Peggy Kleinplatz Sacred Stress by George Faller Created for Connection by Sue Johnson Stay in conversation with us on IG: @dearyoungmarriedcouple or on our website: www.dearyoungmarriedcouple.com Join us for the next Monthly Live Date Night where we dig into some of these topics with you LIVE for 90 minutes this month!

In this interview, we interview Christian apologist Nancy Pearcey on her new book, Love Thy Body. Yes, the title is a little shocking to some, but it is, as she argues, the biblical point of view. The body is created by God and is good. Down through the centuries, as secularism has taken root, the reverence for the body as God's creation has been displaced. We explore these topics along with asking, "What, if any, non-biblical ideas about the body have infiltrated Christianity? What's the societal result of not loving your body?" Tune in for this fascinating conversation.

“My biggest piece of advice for the wedding night: Don’t aim for intercourse, aim for arousal.⁠ ♥️⁠ Christian women experience sexual pain at twice the rate of the general population… so this is OUR problem. I think a large part of that is due to the rushing for intercourse on the wedding night, even if she’s been looking forward to sex her whole life.⁠ ♥️⁠ The reason we tell dating couples to avoid lying down on a couch together and making out is because once you start in that progression, it can be hard to stop. The couples that avoid those things when they’re dating often end up completely skipping steps on their wedding night. They’re thinking, 'Now we can have sex, so why would you do all those middle things?'⁠ ♥️⁠ That’s why I ask couples to ask themselves why it is that those middle things are arousing? Why is making out while your hands wander arousing?⁠ It’s often because you’re not aiming for anything — you’re just enjoying each other. You’re taking a really long time and you’re RELAXED together.⁠ ♥️⁠ What happens for many couples on their wedding night is that they feel like they have to have sex… so they take off their clothes and try intercourse. In the surveys that we did, a lot of women said that they were not aroused the first time they had sex and that’s a problem…⁠ ♥️⁠ Instead of aiming for intercourse on your wedding night, aim for arousal so you can stay relaxed together. I know it’s really difficult because you’ve been looking forward to this your whole life, but just trust me on this one.” — Sheila Wray Gregoire, MA⁠ ♥️⁠ Listen in to hear the much-needed conversation we have with award-winning author/public speaker, Sheila Wray Gregoire.⁠ Sheila recommended: The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex by Sheila Wray Gregoire 31 Days to Great Sex by Sheila Wray Gregoire The Great Sex Rescue by Sheila Wray Gregoire The Orgasm Course Boost Your Libido Course You can reach Sheila at: www.tolovehonorandvacuum.com [email protected] Stay in conversation with us on IG: @dearyoungmarriedcouple or on our website: www.dearyoungmarriedcouple.com Join us for the next Monthly Live Date Night where we dig into some of these topics with you LIVE for 90 minutes this month!

"Don’t wait to give until you get... It goes both ways: don’t wait to have sex with your partner until they’re doing all the things outside the bedroom.
