What happens when church teachings about sex and marriage are rooted more in obligation than intimacy? Author and researcher Sheila Wray Gregoire joins Jessie Evans and Tiff Holdgate to unpack damaging messages like “wives owe sex on demand” and “husbands make the final decision,” and shares what the data actually shows about healthy, faith-honoring marriages.
We talk about the real marriage killer (mental load, not disagreements about money or sex) and small steps couples can take today toward consent, security, and partnership.
