i suppose i shouldn't be surprised. after all my ranting before about friendship first and the sex week challenge.
but again, i was really turned off by ed young's simplistic, and in my opinion, misdirected bond to marriage. now i get being on a talk show you get 5 minutes & colbert or stewart are the funny guys and you are to be the straight guy. within that 5 minutes they do allow you to get your point out there, but only briefly and it is your one liner. so to hear, "sex is the superglue to marriage." honestly, is that the best you have? even nt wright was better at explaining "life after life after death" in the resurrection than you were about a solid why for having sex 7 days in a row to save marriage.
Way too simplistic. It ignore all the periods of time when a couple might be celebate (like right after the baby is born or after a major illness).
It’s mutual respect and friendship for me — sex is great, but eventually there is going to be something happen where sex just can’t solve the problem.

“Even GOD rested on the seventh day.”
I love that man.

I thought of you when I saw this on CC! Hubby and I noted that sex itself won’t solve any problems you might be having. Sure, it may open you up to talking about something that you otherwise wouldn’t have talked about. But if you never talk about it, just having sex for seven days in a row may actually cover up issues in your marriage, and could be more detrimental than helpful. It’s the friendship, relationship, communication, that’s the key to marriage. Rev Mommy’s right – it’s just too simplistic an idea. There’s got to be more.
