I don’t know why other couples aren’t doing it all the time, but you better believe my future spouse and I will be doing it constantly!” Have you ever met anyone who thinks this way?

Have you noticed that when God creates something beautiful, Satan is always there to pervert it? This is never more true than when it comes to sex.

When it comes to sex, the world has a lot of advice. You don’t have to look too far to find a sex quiz, an article about how to have better sex, and a willing “expert” who would love to tell you all he or she knows on the topic. It is a favorite subject for many, so you will never have to look far for sexual advice. And, because sexual advice is so plentiful, we have to be careful what advice we take.
