We’ve had a rough month around here. We lost a bunch of chickens to illness, we had a horse run away, then lost a horse to a trailering accident, and then had to put down another horse due to old age. Then my wife and kids left to go camping for a week and a half, and I’ve been home working on dealing with the farm in the middle of a heat wave. So, if you’ve been wondering what happened to the blog, podcast and emails - that’s what happened. We’ve had a rough time of it lately and I’ve been doing my best to take on more of the load while my wife has been dealing with chickens, sadness over the horses and then being away.

So, today is the first day that I’ve got nothing I need to run into town for, no coaching calls, no work emergencies, and while I should be cleaning out some cages - it’s just too hot outside. I know for some 40C (over 100F) isn’t that hot, but for us, it is. I mean, we get -40 in the winter - we shouldn’t have to deal with positive 40 in the summer as well.

So, yeah, I’m a bit behind, but we’re going to see if we can get back on track. Christina is coming home Sunday and hopefully, we’ll get back to some semblance of normal.

For today, we’ve got a bunch of anonymous questions from May that I didn’t get to answer in June for the aforementioned reasons. For those that are new, these questions come in from our anonymous Have A Question page and so all I get is what’s given in the question. There’s no contact information and nothing else to go on. We kick the questions around in our forum and then I write my thoughts down into a blog and podcast episode, which you’re reading now.

One quick thing before we get to that though - we’ve currently got a survey running which I’d love to have your input on. I had asked a while ago what everyone would want to have a survey about, and the answer was BDSM. So, that’s what we’re doing.


Marriage brings together two whole people, each with their own history, beliefs, and questions, especially when it comes to physical intimacy. Sex Within Marriage Podcast : Exploring Married Sexuality from a Christian Perspective is a space where those often unspoken questions find thoughtful, practical answers. Hosted by Jay Dee, a Marriage Educator, these conversations move beyond simplistic advice to explore the real, sometimes messy, intersection of faith, love, and physical connection. You’ll hear discussions that treat sexuality as a integral part of a holistic marriage, touching on spiritual, emotional, and even physical health. This podcast acknowledges the unique challenges and profound beauty of building a sexually fulfilling life within a committed, covenantal relationship. It’s not about quick fixes, but about fostering deeper understanding and connection. Episodes delve into topics ranging from communication and desire to navigating differences and healing, all through a lens that values both biblical wisdom and compassionate realism. Whether you’re newly married or decades in, this resource offers a grounded, hopeful perspective for couples seeking to nurture this vital aspect of their life together. Tune in for honest dialogue that aims to strengthen marriages from the inside out.
