(updated April 2009)
Welcome to Laura’s Strengthening Marriage Blog!
I hope you’ll be inspired, encouraged and enlightened in strengthening your marriage intimately.
This blog is the result of many requests that I start a blog to highlight and discuss the principles I teach in my book, “And They Were Not Ashamed — Strengthening Marriage through Sexual Fulfillment.” Topics I expect we’ll cover here include marriage, sex, intimacy, and parenting.
Why Blog?
Many of my readers have been using the Comments page on our website as a makeshift blog to seek insights regarding their marriage and intimacy issues. While the Comments page was created originally for comments about our books and CDs, we now have an official place for a more interactive discussion here on “Laura’s Strengthening Marriage Blog.”
Since I am still in a graduate program for Marriage and Family Therapy and will be for some time, I don’t expect that my posts will be terribly often, nor that I will be able to respond to all comments.
We have available Phone Consultations and Email Consultations for those who would like a more personal and in-depth discussion directly with Laura (discontinued April 2008 until further notice). But I do hope that with your thoughtful comments some good discussions will occur here, and that the comments shared will benefit all who visit this blog seeking to strengthen their marriage.
Blog Expectations
My expectation is that we will all be able to maintain an attitude of respect for each other, and reverence for the sacred subject of sexuality and marriage. I will be moderating all comments to be sure that comments maintain the tone I have tried to establish throughout my book, newsletters, and published articles.
My heart goes out to the hundreds of men and women I receive email from who desperately want to have a rich and fulfilling intimately connected relationship in marriage not only sexually, but also emotionally and spiritually. I hope to share insights here that will help each of you move your relationship continually forward to create the relationship of your dreams.
I look forward to the opportunity this blog presents to share tidbits of information in a quick, easy and informal manner, though I definitely recommend that you also subscribe to our “Straight Talk about Strengthening Marriage” newsletter.
Blog Purpose
This blog is intended to be one of the few places people can go to get straight talk about strengthening marriages intimately, and yet feel confident that the sanctity of marriage and sexuality will be upheld. I hope this blog and our StrengtheningMarriage.com website will be your trusted resource for education, products and services to strengthening your marriage sexually.
