Welcome to the Bear Marriage Podcast, I'm Sheila Ray Gregg. We're from to love, honor, and vacuum.com where we like to strip away everything that is hindering

marriage and get back to what God intended. And I am joined as almost always by my daughter Rebecca.

Hello.

And before we get started, a couple of really fun housekeeping things.

I think they're fun.

Yes. You can give us money. That's fun. Yes, it's so fun. That is so much fun. So no, if you're someone

who believes that the Christian world really needs better research into what works and what doesn't and that we need to stop giving people

advice that makes things worse. Our Patreon is pretty much there to help fund our research efforts because most people who do research to the

level that Joanna is doing have like government grants through university and we do not. And so I think that if you are really passionate about, you know, educating people on what is actually good fruit of Christ and what we have actually found is really damaging bad.

Please head over there. The link will be in the podcast description below.
