I think it is very sad that faith plays such an important role in marital distress and can lead to divorce. In my opinion, we do a great disservice to our children by emphasizing common beliefs and faith, and temple marriage. Why don’t we give the same emphasis to love? I mention this because when differences in faith lead to divorce, I am convinced that the couple got married for the wrong reasons. A marriage based on Christ-like love, or... Read more

At least not in any recognizable way.Sex is amazing, we enjoy it frequently, we’re equal instigators, (well, I’m a little less so since having two kids, but in general I’m as into the idea of having sex as my sweet husband). We have so much fun together,... Read more
