  • In this episode of #HowMarriedAreYou, we offer our input to a woman who is trying to get it across to her hubby that she wants more romance in their relationship, we discuss boundaries in a dating relationship and we offer ways to prepare for sex in marriage while remaining abstinent before marriage. We also formally introduce our HMAY Patreon. The first episode is uploaded, in which we respond to a listener question asking what we would do if we were in Dwayne Wade's situation regarding his son desiring to be seen as female.

    As an atheist, the idea of saving sex for marriage never seemed worthwhile to me. Like Yvette said, your whole life you think of sex as something to avoid, but then once you’re married, you have a green light? I personally don’t buy it. To hear how sheltered Yvette grew up makes me feel some type of way, because it’s a shame, but it’s also very innocent and maybe that’s how it should be? I think that saving yourself for your husband or wife is a beautiful and honorable thing, but I resent the shame that any religion puts on those who are young and don’t necessarily have the advanced reasoning and willpower of grown adults who fully understand the consequences of their actions (sexual or otherwise). Still, I love hearing stories that are different from mine, and I enjoy this channel despite my not being Black, Christian, married, or a parent!

    My husband and I did not kiss for 2 years and 3 months while we were "dating" because I didn't either one of us to be tempted. It was the best decision for us. Salvation and keeping our relationship pure in the sight of God was important to us. We didn't spend much time alone because we just didn't want temptation to present itself. Our first everything happened on our wedding day

    My husband and I don’t celebrate holidays, but we do celebrate birthdays. We’re not big on exchanging gifts, and for our anniversary instead of buying a gift for each other we go shopping for something we both like. HomeGoods is our shizz!! Removing the expectation of gifts makes celebrating each other much less stressful. I understand that this isn’t the solution for everyone, but clearly stating your expectations is HUGE in a relationship. There’s nothing wrong with saying, “Hey babe, I’d really appreciate some flowers this Friday.” Or “How about we go for a jog together.” Turning strong emotions into casual conversation helps your partner not get so defensive.

    What a beautiful & complex opening question about respecting gender identity for kids. Thank you so much for running it. I haven't been to your patreon yet so I don't know your answer yet I appreciate you all being able & willing to address concerns. Also, not all believers receive or hear from God the same way, our relationships with God are personal.

      I grew up around very stoic grandfathers & a mostly absentee father. Romance isn't something I witnessed directly as a child. My maternal grandparents did little things to remember their relationship & connection. They also celebrated over 40 years together before my granddad passed away. They dressed alike sometimes & went on trips together regularly. They read the newspaper & did the crossword together every morning with their coffee for instance. One of the things I've done as I leveled up in my personal growth over the past six-eight months is address my own appetites. Either I accept the type of man & lifestyle (entrepreneurship, creative) I'm attracted to & focus on growth in the most urgent places, or find another type of man altogether. I also understand that my own approach to romance was barely existent. Two of my love languages are gifts & acts of appreciation for instance, but did I communicate this to him? Yes & no. Yes, I gave him little gifts from the beginning, no, I never planned a party for him for instance or did major public acts of service (although scouting a music business networking group for him may count). But our relationship didn't warrant that when we were younger & God is asking something else entirely of us now. So now, I pick my battles. I celebrate myself without guilt as often as I want or need. I celebrate him with acts of service (privately [more on that some other time]) & when we are ready to do more, there is a foundation for more. I'd rather heal the basics than argue about certain things. When God picked him, He also picked me. I'm also working on letting our partnership be what it is rather than comparing it to my grandparents because everything wasn't perfect there, but yes, this is what I can handle at the moment. #pickingmybattles

    Hey! I totally agree with the discussion of sex from a biblical perspective.
    I think in my mind, the word sex in it self always con notates fear and I think one of the reasons why is because of light that is shed on it by not only the church but everyone else.
    And how do I speak about sex in a way where I'm educated and not just reiterating the stereo typical comments that are made about it and surrounding the it.

  • @truthoverfictionii5760

    I still think that self expression is a sin. What you are doing is teaching yourself to please yourself without a partner. And what would be the purpose of having a partner if I can do it myself. Kissing and making out before sex has been lost. I read that kissing is the prelude. It does something within the body. Make out session before hand. And that is all that I will say without getting rated X.
