I know I haven't been posting much - but THAT'S OKAY!
Thanks to many of you, I'm still able to work on finishing my degree, though most of it is paid for on my own.
Right now, while posting to the Marriage Bed facebook page and MeWe Marriage Bed page, I've been working on getting books published and out there to help your marriages.
We published The Collected Works of the Eternal Marriage Bed, and Achieving The Best Possible Sex, and we have 9 more that we're working on publishing. Amazon doesn't make it easy LOL.
A side project I've been working on with my wife has been an Easter tradition I've been doing since my mission. With the encouragement of last General Conference, I felt strongly impressed it's time to publish that book. It's called "Christ Our Passover, An Easter Feast". With some help and research - I am a researcher - I reconstructed the passover celebration that all Jewish people celebrate each year to show all the symbolisms of the atonement of Jesus Christ. It's a really fun and meaningful activity that involves the whole family and my hope is that all Latter-Day Saint families will be able to use this to help them make Easter as big a deal as Christmas - like it deserves, instead of just eating ham and easter egg hunts. It really helped us keep our focus on the Savior in a really fun and uplifting way. Hope you like it.
In addition, I've had some time to reflect on what I want to do with this blog and (while learning about coaching and how to teach the whole picture when it comes to relationships and marital success, I'm concerned that I'm moving too much away from the focus of what I really wanted to provide for you.
As we learned in Sexual Wholeness in Marriage, and from my own experience, all sex education materials, - and I mean the books and videos that actually teach about the techniques for all the activities available to you when engaging in marital intimacy - all come from educators from hedonistic philosophies such as Alfred Kinsey, and other educators from the sexual revolution whose narrative is that the only way to teach about or fully enjoy sex is to just give in and profane it.
I've written and given to you how to differentiate between sacred erotic material and profane erotic material and I feel it's time to get back to my goal of providing for the saints "how to" material that teaches all sexual techniques - (being mindful that ALL sex is sacred and the right and rite of married couples to know, learn and do.) in a way that helps you know what to do, but in a way that is reverent and respectful and doesn't present it in terms of "boyfriend, girlfriend, partner, homosexual, or group".
This may take some time, but Laura Brotherson has been doing a great job teaching the relationship aspect, I'm still here to address the issues we husbands face and our perspective and needs, but my focus will be attempting to focus on my true purpose, to get those materials out to you, so at least future generations of newlyweds have something better than The Joy of Sex or Laci Green or worse - profane erotica - to turn to for answers.
