		<description><![CDATA[I have distinct memories of the Sweetman &#8220;bus period&#8221;. We had no where to live and so good friends lent us a bus. We parked it in my parents backyard, ran a power chord to my parents&#8217; house and while Dean and I had a bed, the kids slept on bus seats. It was a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sexual Ebbs and Flows There&#8217;s times when sex is on our mind and so it&#8217;s easy to make it a priority. Other times it&#8217;s work. Often sex is called an act because we have to make ourselves perform. We have to stir ourselves to action! There&#8217;s times of desire and times of no desire when [...]]]></description>

Yelling, silent treatment, sleeping in separate rooms, throwing things at each other and driving off in the middle of the night. Though the above mentioned events are extremes and should decrease over time, marriage involves the meshing of two different individuals. Each has opinions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sex Most of us know what the Bible states about sex &#8211; between a man and a woman in marriage. That means that God would love singles to abstain.
