What has Coach Sam been up to!?

Hello all you wonderful married couples out there!

I still have a list of articles coming your way, and I know it's been awhile. So here's what's happening.

It's slow-going, but I'm still taking classes to complete my degrees while I work to pay the bills and send my kids through college. They're all four in college now. 

I'm also still researching to ensure my articles are well-referenced. This can cause the articles (although mostly finished) to take longer to post.

I've been working with Laura M. Brotherson to assist her in finishing her book "Knowing Him Intimately". She just finished "Knowing Her Intimately".  I believe these two works will be extremely vital in helping married members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints not only understand each other as males and females, but also help every couple communicate better and understand themselves better sexually so they can have more whole marital intimacy they can enjoy for eternity. If you want an amazing sex life, these two books are a great place to start.

In case you're wondering, I'm not getting a kickback from her or from these books. I just really believe in the work she is doing - as first and foremost my mission is to help eternal marriages succeed.

We're at war against the Adversary, and his mission is to destroy your marriage. He accomplishes this most successfully in the marriage bed. If he and his minions can get you to stop having great marital intimacy, he can destroy your marriage.

Laura M. Brotherson and I are fighting with you, to defeat the Adversary through proper sexual and relationship education so you don't have to feel like you're fighting this alone.

I've also been working to update all my blog articles, as many of them still have links that need to be updated from "LDS Marriage Bed" to "Eternal Marriage Bed".  Without these updates, most of my articles can't be found, and it's frustrated a lot of my readers. So I'm working diligently to get them updated for you.

This has also been an opportunity to do some edits to the information in the articles and even add some new insights that I've picked up along the way. Once I finish updating an article, it is posted at the Eternal Marriage Bed Facebook page, so be sure to keep and eye out for it there. 

Please also continue to click "like" on my Facebook posts. Clicking "like" causes Facebook to keep me around. If I don't get enough likes, they'll shut me down. So I hope if you believe in my work, I hope you'll add this small gesture to your routine to fight for my cause as well.

I just finished reading the book, "Sexual Wholeness in Marriage" by Busby, Carroll and Leavitt. It's a wonderful book - appropriate to an LDS married audience with very frank discussions about our sexuality and how to get the kind of sex you want.

These PhD's at BYU reinforce much of what I've been sharing with you here, so I really appreciate their book in that regard. It's very easy to follow and one that (I think) would be a valuable addition to what you and your spouse read together.  

My sweet wife (who partners with me on my blog and edits my work) and I have several projects in the works for you - including my own books - to help your marriage be more awesome.

The best way to defend against or overcome bad sexual habits or addictions; the best way to have the kind of sex life and/or marital intimacy that you got married for is to stop looking at sex, your body and sexuality as "gross", "perverse", "disgusting", "a monster to run away from" or "dirty" and start looking at it as a companion you will be blessed with for eternity.

Learn everything you can about this sacred gift and what you like. Then, as a couple, share what you've learned about yourself with each other and continually gift that to each other.

Great advancements in knowledge regarding our sexuality are out there. Daily we're working to weed out the profane garbage, re-work it so its sacred nature and eternal purpose are acknowledged, and make that available to you.

Thank you for your continued faithfulness in taking this journey with me.
