SpotifyIf you’ve heard that men have an innate, not-understandable need for sex, popular author Sheila Gregoire disagrees. She says, “the most deprived people in the bedroom are wives.” This episode will show you the way Christian sex books undermine a woman’s sexual agency and a woman’s sexual needs. There’s another way, and we get into it. This episode is for adults only.
We talk about:
the books Love & Respect and The Act of Marriage
How husbands can serve their wives
How women can draw boundaries in their marriage
What sexual fulfilment really is
Vaginismus
Obligation sex messages
Fundamentalist ideas about sex and marriage

Her passion is for marriage, and she and her husband Keith speak together at marriage outreaches and at FamilyLife Canada marriage conferences.
