Can Married Christians Learn How To Have Great Sex?

Back in February of this year, FOX news reported on a Lutheran pastor in the Detroit area who kicked off a series of sermons about "How To Have Great Sex," for Lent. In and of itself, that is pretty newsworthy, but get this - the title of the first sermon in the series was, "The Greatest Sex You'll Ever Have."

Pack my bags - I'm switchin' churches...

Seriously though, it got a few people riled up - but I think Pastor Tim Kade had good intentions and made some valid points. He was quoted as saying, "Sex wasn't invented in a dark alley behind a porn shop," in a statement dated Feb. 20. "It's part of God's design and the Bible is very open and frank about sexual matters.

He's right, if you're in doubt - try reading "Song of Songs" also known as "Song of Solomon"...

The sermons and the promotional materials touched on themes like: frustration, boredom, loneliness, despair, jealousy, and adultery. Bottom line - it got me thinking. I don't like conflict or confrontation. It's easy to bottle up conversations about sex, but that can lead to bigger problems.

Over time, married couples get comfortable - even a little bit lazy. Marriage takes work and effort is required to keep the flame of love burning. I wanted to find a way to keep our conversation lines open and spice things up a bit.

I looked around on the internet, but you can probably imagine the amount of porn and garbage that's our there. I found some helpful information that was free, but the old saying is true - you do get what you pay for.

I managed to find the perfect solution for us - a program designed to turn me into a husband who knows how to have great sex.

Some parts I already knew, other parts really helped me step my game up a few notches. You'd be surprised how motivating and rewarding it can be to get a refresher. And it didn't have to clash with my values. I hope you take the opportunity to learn how to have great sex too.
