can you count the letter h in:
after 15 years of helping couples sort out their sexual intimacy difficulties, i can say i have a fairly good idea where most of the confusion began. confusion comes from a lack of direct, open, honest communication regarding appropriate sexually intimate relationships. as a faith-based culture we are great at teaching morality and the birds and the bees, but then we stop there. perhaps such teachings were effective 50 years ago, but today, based on all the worldly messages and counterfeit messages regarding sex, it is not enough.
we as parents, leaders, and families need to take it one step further. to help illustrate my understanding, let me share with you my personal experience in helping my daughter and son-in-law prepare for sexually intimate relations.
a few years ago, my amazing daughter was engaged to be married. this daughter of mine was active in her faith, had served a mission for her church, and had been present at almost every morality lesson taught during her growing up years. owing to her personal faith and the lessons on morality she had been taught, she wanted and chose to wait until marriage to engage in any form of sexual relationship.
now i can tell you my daughter turned a few shades red during this conversation. i am sure the redness was not due to a lack of maturity but to the fact that she was shocked her mom was talking so very openly and directly about such topics in personal ways. after kari and i had concluded our conversation i told her, “now there is another party to this forthcoming event in your life who also needs to have this talk.” having met ryan, her fiancé, i knew there was a very good chance no one was going to talk to him the way i had talked to kari, so i told kari, “i am going to give ryan a similar talk.” i am positive when kari told ryan that his soon-to-be mother-in-law wanted to have a sex talk with him, he was rather shocked and thought, “who does she think she is? and man, i hope she changes her mind.” interestingly enough, after my announcement to kari, ryan’s presence in my home dramatically diminished.
given how many grown (and married) men still have no clue about female anatomy, having a conversation like this saved this couple years of heartache. there are still many women out there who dont know their own anatomy!  curtis, et al, im guessing you were never given that crucial information, and are thinking that you were just fine for it. your wives may have a different take on the situation. would it have disturbed you as much to have a parent who is an expert on a different matter to make sure the young couple were taught other need-to-know things to make their marriage successful? or is it the s-e-x part? if its the latter, sounds like you have your own issues surrounding the issue.
wow. what a nervy mother-in-law. i would not have appreciated what amounts to an almost forced conversation about such intimate matters at the beginning of my marriage. i can tell her intentions are good, but she sounds overbearing in this case.
