The Great Sex Rescue: How Sheila Wray Gregoire is Changing the Conversation About Sex and Marriage in the Evangelical Community
In a previous episode of A World of Different's Podcast, Sheila Wray Gregoire talked about her book 'The Great Sex Rescue,' which was a groundbreaking study of the evangelical messages about sex that are taught to young couples. In her latest book, 'She Deserves Better,' Sheila continues to challenge the status quo and provide readers with tools to empower themselves.
According to Sheila, "the messages that are being taught in the evangelical community around sex and marriage are often damaging and can lead to some serious problems down the road." Her research shows that couples who have been taught these messages are more likely to struggle with intimacy and communication in their relationships.
Here are three key takeaways that couples can learn from Sheila's research:
1. Communication is the key – When it comes to sex and marriage, communication is crucial. Couples need to be open and honest with each other about their needs and desires, and be willing to work together to achieve them.
2. Do away with shame – Shame is a major roadblock to intimacy in relationships. Sheila's research shows that many couples struggle with feelings of shame around sex and marriage, which can prevent them from fully enjoying the experience.
3. Embrace the gift of sex – For many couples in the evangelical community, sex is seen as a duty rather than a gift. Sheila's research shows that couples who view sex as a gift are more likely to have fulfilling and satisfying relationships.
If you want to learn more about how you can transform your relationship and have a more fulfilling sex life, then you need to listen to the latest episode of A World of Different's Podcast featuring Sheila Wray Gregoire. Her insights and advice are invaluable and can help you build a stronger, more meaningful relationship with your partner.

A few years ago, as her book The Great Sex Rescue was just releasing. And since then, her writing and her speaking have impacted so many men and women around the world and the research that she had done both for that book and now research that she's been doing. In her new book release, she deserves better. And she and her team, including her daughter, have been doing more research around what it's messages have been given to girls in particular and what those messages have meant for them and in terms of how their lives have panned out in different areas and specific wording was chosen based on particular books that they may have read or been taught from those books and just very, very detailed research and it's very insightful, the research conclusions as well as what she was able to write in this book in terms of tools on how to move forward in a healthier way together. So we are delighted to have Sheila on the show.
