Now you've crossed the line, threatening just me's family. I wouldn't be surprised if just me brings up that terrible stalking (otherwise known as a harmless joke) from now until the Millennium. </sarcasm>

We can't have that! It would be a travesty of epic proportions!

Yeah, because it vindicated the original article and thereby pretty much eviscerated whine me's objections. I think it also established that there were Witnesses to the Bishop's Power Point! Witnesses! Not sure if there were eleven of them, though.

Not exactly true. The blog post in my OP was quite balanced. The posts on the original thread about the bishop were not. There is a big differnce between the two blogs. And this is why I posted it. But of course, it is difficult for Blixa and Just Me to say thank you to why me for linking it. And that is okay. Like Rodney Dangerfield I get no respect.
For example:
There is truth in saying that when people are sexually unsatisfied within their relationship, this can cause deeper problems affecting other areas of marital intimacy. These problems can in time, play a role in eroding the foundation of the relationship. As part of coping with these relational issues, people turn to all types of different behaviors (some healthy – some not): overeating, exercise, infidelity, gaming, pornography use, shopping, going out with friends, reading books, etc., etc.). However, the problem with how this was presented is that it ignored that this dynamic can go the other way too: when people are emotionally, spiritually or intellectually unsatisfied in their relationships, deep problems within the realm of physical intimacy can occur. You can “put out” all you want – but if you make each other miserable, the sex isn’t necessarily going to help. It might for a while – but not long term. Now, just because I agree that sexual dissatisfaction can lead to bad coping mechanisms, does not mean I think infidelity or other non-agreed-upon sexual behavior such as pornography use is justified or should be blamed on the spouse with the lower libido. Last time I checked, we are not held responsible for Adam’s transgression (see article of faith #2) - nor Bob’s, James’, Pablo’s, etc.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world. Joseph Smith We are “to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all…” Joseph Smith
And then we have the comment section where I found this:
Natasha, I think you do a wonderful job here articulating how to cultivate a good relationship with your spouse. I learned a lesson early in my marriage about the importance of communication with my husband. I would read articles in Cosmo magazine about how to blow my man’s mind by doing A, B, and C. I’d ask my husband, “Does this work for you?” and he would tell me what HE wanted. I learned it did not matter what it said in Cosmo, it only mattered what my husband liked. And he shows me the same consideration. We’ve been married 18 years, and it just keeps getting better and better
I did allude to this problem in the thread about the bishop. Women's magazines tend to confuse the issue and screw us all up. Which is apart of the general problem of sexual malaise.

Just how many women's mags do you read?
