Today’s question from a reader is a common scenario. It happens to many couples somewhere in the course of their marriage: being apart.

I could make this post really quick and just say yes. Or even post a picture of some hunky Hollywood celeb and let that speak for itself. But, of course, that’s not something I want to promote! I don’t seek out photos of shirtless men with six-packs or suave guys with smoldering looks in their overly

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, observed in the United States and over 40 other countries.

Welcome (back) to Q&A with J. Let’s look at today’s reader question: My husband gets erections when he sees other women. Is this normal? It’s messing with my self esteem in ways I can’t describe.

I hope you’ve been memorizing some scripture with me this year! I’ve been choosing verses that we can apply to our marriage and sexual intimacy.

I’m behind two posts: Saturday with a marriage memory verse and today with a Q&A with J. But honestly, my hard drive is dying, so I’ve had to shift my priorities while I attempt to save all my data before my laptop goes kaput. Not to say that y’all are not a huge priority. You

Last Thursday, I wrote a post that got some flak. Because I explained how my husband tried to initiate sex in the middle of the night. In our conversation later, he’d said something like, “I woke up and felt turned on.” Which makes it sound like he just had an urge and expected my body

Today’s question is a doozy. It’s from a wife whose husband is rather insistent about his especially high sex drive: What do you recommend for wives who do not become aroused during love making? My husband has a very high sex drive. He wants it every night and would like it several times a night
