Why I Love My Husband!

It is good to remember to share with our spouses verbal affirmations of what they mean to us and to celebrate their endearing qualities.  In support of the Happy Wives Club’s first link up party, we at ThePureBed.com have decided to list 10 reasons why we love our husbands.

Sex: A Love Offering

Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. I Corinthians 7:3 (King James Version of the Holy Bible)

We have this:

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. I Corinthians 7:4 KJV

Shopping for His Christmas Gift Just Got Easier!

For those of us who are really busy during the holidays, this gift is the perfect thing.  And The Pure Bed has hooked up with Romantic Marriages to get you one!

RomanticMarriages.com offers an all-inclusive “Merry Christmas Deer” romance kit. This kit makes it so easy to have a little holiday fun and frolic with your husband. The kit begins with a “good boy” letter for your man that says…  “The elves reported you’ve been a good boy by being my man through the year, so Santa decided you’ld get what YOU want.  Delivery will be by his deer!”  You then visit him on the nights leading up to Christmas as Santa’s sexy and slightly naughty deer.  Each deer delivers her own gift that makes a very unique memory.  (All gifts are included in the kit with the exception of a gift certificate to his favorite restaurant.)  The kit is great at creating genuine anticipation as your man wonders which of Santa’s deer are visiting next?  With the arrival of the first deer,  “Flasher” (Dasher’s naughty twin) your holiday fun will begin! 

We like the idea that the girls at Romantic Marriages have thought of doing all the work (the shopping) for you, so you get to have all the fun!  In fact, we’ve decided to give one away.  Here’s how you can receive the kit for FREE!  Write us a short email or letter (up to 200 words or less) on why you want or need to give your husband a romantic Christmas this year.  In two weeks, we’ll choose (1) winner and have Romantic Marriages ship the kit right away so you can have your most romantic Christmas ever!

The Question of Submission in Marriage-Part I

Marriage and Submission

Submit.  The overall perception of this term as it applies in marriage tends to produce a negative reaction in too many of us.  In these more liberal times, even Christians try to negotiate their way out of having submission be a feature in their marriages.  Of what are we afraid?  What is it that we fear about submission?

5 Statements That Reveal Serious Problems In Marriage

Over the years, we’ve heard some common complaints.  Typically made in exasperation, the statements themselves may be as telling of the problems as the description of circumstances surrounding them.

Foreplay: The Power of Touch

We’ve posted previously about the benefits of sensory deprivation.  Removing the use of one sense tends to heighten the sensitivity of the remaining ones.  We can use this to intensify our spouse’s arousal (or they of us).
