Welcome to the love honor and vacuum podcast. I'm Sheila from to love honor and vacuum.com and we have an interesting program this week because it is the one year

anniversary since I did my big series on the book Love and

Respect and how that book got sex horribly wrong and marriage horribly wrong and

so on the one year anniversary we want to come full circle, finish that series, and just say a few more things to deal with some loose ends.

It's been a big week on the blog, I'll tell you.

In the middle of our Iron sharpening iron series in marriage

about how to get positive change going

and how it's not a sin to confront your spouse.

And then I talked about how it's not okay for marriage books to do a little bit of harm because I hear that from a lot of people. I hear them say, well, you know, I mean, I know the book, I didn't agree with everything in the book and I can see how it might hurt some but we

really found it helpful.

That's not okay.

And then yesterday we published our big 5,000 word letter that we sent to focus on the family in October about their support of love and respect

and outlining all of our problems with the book.

And I wanted to publish that just to end off our series. I wanted to publish it in October, but we were doing our survey.

And our survey was open, we did not want to prime our audience, so we waited until the survey

was closed to publish this letter and we thought hey let's do it this week on the one year anniversary

And and I made sure that this week the one year anniversary also coincided with the week where we were talking about how it is not a sin to confront your spouse because

Rebecca got into something interesting with the Love and Respect.com website

and around this issue of confronting your spouse and I thought you know let's just

deal with this on this last week so that we can put it behind us and move on so to

outline this story and tell you how it all got started

I brought Rebecca onto the podcast. This is my daughter by the way. Hey Rebecca
