How to Teach Your Kids about Pornography with Kristen Jenson
Marriage and Intimacy Tips for Christian Couples: Secrets of Happily Ever After
06/29/20 • 37 min
As a part of the Sexual Health Series, today we are chatting with the amazing Kristen Jenson, author of the best-selling Good Pictures Bad Pictures series. She shares with us; how important it is to talk with our children about pornography.
Kristen loves helping and empowering parents. She encourages them and equips them with what to do WHEN (not if) their child sees pornography. These books give children a simple and age appropriate definition of what a bad picture is, and what to do when they see it.
At what age, is it appropriate to talk to your child about pornography?? Well... “At what age does your child have access to the internet”? WOAH! A big eye opener.
Even with the best technology and ALL of the filters we put in place. There will come a time, when your child is staring at a screen full of adult content. Will they know what to do when they see it? Will they come home and tell you about it?
Kristen teaches us the importance of having these difficult conversations early on. It actually strengthens the parent-child bond when you face these challenges together and even more, helps our children have healthy sex lives when they are married.
Some of the resources mentioned in the episode are: Healthy Sex Vs. Porn Sex and Protect Young Minds Resources
If you have additional questions about your child and pornography visit ProtectYoungMinds.org or you can grab yourself a copy of these books over on Amazon! You can also find resources on Facebook, Instagram @protectyoungminds, or Twitter @ProtectYM

Ep 230 5 Daily Tricks to Remove the 'Meh' From Your Marriage
Marriage and Intimacy Tips for Christian Couples: Secrets of Happily Ever After
05/31/23 • 21 min
In this special birthday episode, I share personal strategies that have helped me sustain the spark in my marriage. Here's a breakdown of the five tricks that we explore in this episode:
1. Think Positive Thoughts: Start your day on a positive note. It sets the tone for the rest of your day and impacts how you interact with your spouse.
2. Focus on Your Response: Often, we burden ourselves with expectations of how others should act. Let's flip that. Focus on your reaction and response to them instead. This gives you the control and can dramatically improve your relationship dynamics.
3. Flirt and Date Your Spouse: Keep the flame alive! Treat your relationship with the importance it deserves. Remember, it's not just about living together, it's about loving together too.
4. Show Gratitude Everyday: Never underestimate the power of 'thank you.' Small gestures of appreciation can help keep resentment at bay and foster a deeper bond with your spouse.
5. Mix It Up: Add a little zest to your daily routines. Unpredictability can keep things exciting and break the monotony. Remember, the joy is in the journey, not just the destination.
I hope you find these tips useful. Here's to less 'meh' and more 'marvelous' in your marriage!
