Welcome to the Bear Marriage podcast. I'm Sheila Ray Gregor from Bear Marriage.com,

where we like to talk about healthy, evidence-based biblical advice for your sex life and your

marriage. And one of the things that I am so, so dedicated to is that idea of evidence-based

because what our team has been doing for the last few years is massive, massive studies and

surveys. Looking at how does evangelical advice about sex and marriage actually affect

sexual and marital satisfaction? And how can we get to the marriages that we want? How can we

get to the sex lives that we want? And our new book, The Marriage You Want, is out in just a few

No, it's going to legitimize things.

It's going to be like, yeah, this is what a good marriage should look like.

And then it gives super practical information on how you get there.

And that's all you've been talking about for the last few weeks.

money that you donated is going there as well. So I've got some great things I'll be announcing

in the next few weeks. But if you want to support us, if you want to help what we're doing
