Laura’s Straight Talk Q&A (for other questions and answers from Laura)
We have created these “Open Forum Discussion” pages to make it easier for you to find the sections of this blog where you can post questions and comments, and have an open dialogue about subjects related to marriage, sex, intimacy and parenting.
I know from your many personal emails and the conversations we’ve had at various events that there is an army of intelligent and intuitive people who have great insights and are seeking to strengthen their marriages intimately. I hope you will consider yourself a valuable resource in this forum as you share your questions and comments.
Please continue to be attentive to the tone of your posts, so that we can maintain an atmosphere of reverence and respect for each other and the sanctity of sexuality in marriage. I will try to respond as often as I can, but I hope you will share your insights and solutions as well.
