Jumping to Conclusions
My weekly favorite past time is watching the VH-1 reality show, Couples Therapy. Tonight was no different. I really liked the show tonight because it actually stepped on my toes. In marriage we begin to think we know our spouse and can predict everything they will say and do so we “JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS” about certain situations. One of the couples tonight, snooped through their significant other phone and read a text and assumed what the situation was. By jumping to conclusion, their relationship was put to the test and is feeling the wrath of not asking the right questions and allowing your spouse to answer. We must remember that everything that glitters isn’t gold. So what we think we may know we actually don’t know. Put away childish behavior.-1 Cor. 13:11 When we speculate something, read or hear something that we don’t understand we should talk to our spouse about what we think is going on and allow them to explain. In talking with our spouse, we must release … [Read more...]

{Guest Post} Sexual Foreplay and After Play, Guaranteed More and Better Sex For Both of You
This post is sexual in nature and only intended for adults over the age of 18. If you are not over the age of 18 or easily offended by sexual talk, this post is not for you. Please read any of our other posts on SDMS. We thank you for your visit and understanding! ; As a marriage, relationship, and sexual coach, I can’t believe how much lousy sex is happening out there. Maybe you are experiencing less than great sex with the man in your life or past men in your life. As a man speaking in defense of men, there is really no place for men to learn how to give our partners great sex. There is no SCHOOL FOR SEX out there. We all know where the body parts go, but men for the most part do not adequately understand a woman’s sexuality and how to give you fantastic sex. It is for this reason that I am writing this article. If you share this article with the man that you care about and tell him that you would really like to experience these things and ask him to do them with you, I … [Read more...]

If you are not over 18 or offended by the thought of an adult novelty store or website, I advise you not to click on any of the links.* We have been working on Quality Time this week. All the efforts we have put into spending at least 10 minutes of quality time with our spouse are going to pay off. Spending quality time with our spouse is giving us the opportunity to bond, connect and show Expressions of Love. The time we spend talking, laughing, and listening to our spouse is also a form of intimacy. Quality time is used to connect mentally, physically, and spiritually. We have focused on connecting mentally but today I want you to focus on connecting physically with your spouse. Now let’s take this quality time to a whole ‘nother level (and yes I said ‘nother). Earlier this week, we have carved out 10 minutes of time to talk and bond … [Read more...]

With being so focused on maintaining a household, a job, and our spirituality, our personal relationships can be affected. Frustrations are bound to arise and the first attack will be on the person we are married to, our spouse. To eliminate these frustrations from mounting into something else, we need to learn how to be creative in our marriage to achieve the quality time we need to have with our spouse. Creativity in marriage is only limited to your imagination. Just what can you do to get more quality time in with your spouse?

Designate a night that … [Read more...]
