Welcome to the Bear Marriage Podcast. I'm Sheila Ray Greg.

We're from to love honor and vacuum.com where we like to talk about how to make

marriage a passionate adventure and get rid of all the lousy teaching that has really messed marriage up.

I am here with my daughter and co-author Rebecca Lindenbach.

Hello.

And we are going to tackle a new teaching that is far too prominent in the evangelical church and try to debunk it.

We are in the middle of a series, the debunking series, which is all getting ready for the

launch of our new book The Great Sex Rescue on March 2nd, which we're so excited about.

Yeah, it's going to be great.

We surveyed 20,000 women last year, so it's the largest survey that has ever been done of Christian women asking them everything

about their sexual and marital satisfaction and we identified several key

evangelical teachings which cause orgasm rates to plummet.

Yep, sexual pain rates to skyrocket.

And marital satisfaction to plummet.

And you know, most people want to have happy marriages.

Most of them want the exact opposite of what many of these teachings are offering.

We'll put it that way.

Most people want higher orgasm rates, lower sexual pain rates, and higher marital satisfaction.

So let's get rid of some of these teachings that hold us back because even though we're calling them

evangelical teachings we don't mean that they're Christian or biblical. No and they have

that label a lot of the times but when you actually look at what the fruit is in

the real world it looks nothing like how Christ would treat people.
