044: Building A Marriage Based on Mutuality with Sheila Wray Gregoire
Apr 01, 2025
CW: marriage and sex (not explicit)
If you grew up in the evangelical Christianity of the 80s and 90s like me, we likely hear or read much of the same marriage advice. What if it was bad advice?
Most of the popular marriage books are written by those with no relevant education or professional credentials and include no research, data, or peer-reviewed evidence for their claims.
Sheila Gregoire and her team are committed to work that is healthy, evidence-based, and biblical, and her latest book, co-written with her husband, Keith, is proof of that. Packed with data, research, graphs, and stories, this book debunks much of what we were taught with clear and correct information.
If you're looking for ways to improve your marriage without a side of guilt or shame, this may be the episode for you.
