Ten Ways to Get Your Wife to Rock Your World in 2010

(Rated M for “Mature”)

by Dr. Patrick Johnston

For men only.

The initial title of this article was “Ten Ways to Rock Your Wife’s World in 2010” but I realized that my target audience was men.  A man that anticipated reading the article with that title would already be practicing it, but I'm looking the man that would benefit most from this article. That'd be the average man, too often consumed with pleasing himself and meeting his own needs in the marriage relationship.  The Bible says in Ephesians 5 that we should love our wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it.  That is selfless love!  That is giving to meet one’s needs without regard to whether you get what you want out of the deal. 

It is true that our Creator designed sex.  He created us to be sexual beings.  It brings no more pleasure to God that Christians have a cold, boring marriage bed, than it would bring pleasure to Da Vinci to put the Mona Lisa in a dark closet or bring pleasure to John Bunyan to have his classic Pilgrim’s Progress in a box of never-read books in your garage.  Sinners are having too much sex, and Christians not enough!  Immodest body-worshipers are consumed with how their body looks, and Christians don’t give enough thought to it!  Sinners are consumed with pleasing their lovers, and Christians could care less.  Sinners are consumed with nude images of strangers, but Christian couples turn off the lights before sex.  What’s wrong with this?  It is not God’s will.

When Homeschooling Parents Get Criticism From Family Members

Written in response to a fellow homeschooling mother who was being criticized by her family for teaching her children at home:

I am so sorry you have to deal with this irrational criticism of your homeschooling. Try to resist the urge to lash out in frustration – I know how tempting it must be. With calmly presented facts and Scripture, perhaps your family will be persuaded.

First of all, the letter your family member sent you is full of bad arguments for public schooling. Your response should be designed to put her on the defensive. You shouldn't have to explain why you are homeschooling (the perfectly natural thing to do for a child whom you love). She should have to explain why she is public schooling and especially why she is discouraging loving parents from leaving the failed public school experiment which has been a dismal failure!
