Welcome to the Bear Marriage Podcast, I'm Sheila Ray Gregg,

or from Bear Marriage.com, where we like to talk about Welcome to the Barry Marriage Podcast. I'm Sheila Ray Gregg.

We're from Bear Marriage.com where we like to talk about healthy evidence-based biblical advice for your sex life and your marriage.

And I am joined today by two of my co-authors, well actually my two co-authors.

It's also one of your co-authors.

Yeah, it's true.

That's true.

For she deserves better in the Great Sex Rescue, the amazing Joanna Swatsky.

Hi everybody.

And my daughter Rebecca Lintonbach.

Hello. And we are not going to talk about evidence-based advice today actually.

Really not. We are going to talk about literature because it is the summer and we just wanted to end this season doing some fun stuff on the podcast. So today we are going to look at Jane Austin's view of marriage looking at her novels.

He says, hey, that's just what we talk about all the time behind the scene, so we thought

this would be fun.

And then next week for episode 200 of the Very Marriage Podcast. We are having a, are you ready for it?

Why don't you announce it, Rebecca? Having a Brio magazine pajama party.

Oh yeah baby, we're gonna get on our flannels and we're going to read excerpts from Brio magazine.

We really are and I will say we found the two articles that me and Joanna remembered from our

childhoods reading Brio. There was one article that Joanna was like, man, there's just this one that I want to find. There was one where I was like, it taught me, it made me think that you could get SDDs from from holding hands and so that we got both of them. So it's going to be a party.

It's going to be a party. But today it is also going to be a party. It's going to be a pride and

prejudice sense and sensibility, Mansfield Park,

Emma, persuasion with minor of Northanger Abbey Party, a Jane Austin party, which is the best kind of party.
