10 Things To Know About Marriage

We don’t know the origin of these points.  Nonetheless, these are timeless truths worthy of rehearsing to ourselves.  The best plans for our lives are compromised, even sabotaged, by destructive behavior that becomes the norm in too many marriages.

Take a look at what follows and ask yourself “Which of these are true of me?“

Become Delicious!

Remember the first line from the Toys ‘R Us jingle: I don’t want to grow up…

Becoming an adult, getting married and having children propel us into a life of responsibilities.  We have to get serious, be thoughtful and plan for the future.  Rare is the occasion at which we can revisit the playfulness of childhood when creativity meant abandoning convention.  Making a mess wasn’t looked upon fretfully because our first thought wasn’t who’s going to clean that up?

Oral Sex: Givers and Receivers

The act of oral sex has many idiomatic references in our English language.  Giving head, going down, eating out, and blow job are but a few.  Whatever your reference of choice, for those married couples who use it as a feature of sexual play, it can be a powerfully intimate experience OR an incredible let down!

Christian Couples Marriage Retreat

Retreat site: Pacific Palms Resort

The early registration deadline for the Our Intimate Choices Marriage Retreat is fast approaching (Nov. 30).

This year’s retreat is in Southern California.  Future retreats are being considered for Texas and Canada.  The dates and exact locations are yet to be determined.

This retreat is a unique experience for married Christian couples.  We expose the wealth of information that the Bible provides as guidance for a healthy and fulfilling sex life. 

Beyond the platitudes that sex is special and for marriage, OIC will show couples how scriptural principles speak to our common (and not so common) sexual challenges and questions: mismatched libido, withholding sex, managing sexual dysfunction, pornography, depressed sex drive, sexual selflessness vs. selfishness, body image and more.  OIC will speak to the variety of sexual acts about which Christian couples seem to have so many questions: oral sex, anal sex, spanking, fetish, sex toy usage, fantasy and role play and other questions and concerns as anonymously submitted by attendees. 

Attendees will also have an opportunity to meet with my wife and I privately to get advice and guidance on specific issues and concerns.

This January weekend will be a time of renewal and restoration for many.  We plan to also have ThePureBed.com products available for purchase at a discount and prize giveaways including free night’s stay at the resort, free spa treatments and more.

Visit OurIntimateChoices.com for more information and to register.  Don’t forget to reserve your resort room!
