This week of Mother's Day, we work together on parenting goals as we look at the absolute best and worst researched-based practices with teens as they will influence marriage and sexual relationships with Sheila Wray Gregoire, Enneagram 8w7. We take both a microscopic and wide lens view of generational practices around sexual and faith norms across generations. From prior to Gen X to purity culture to now, there's still work to do around healthy teaching and training and we have the best tips for you! 

Specifically, Christa invites expert Sheila Wray Gregoire of Bare Marriage to help us navigate:

What parenting research is tied to marriage health and healthy marriages

What teaching a girl about her period and healthy sex ed can do for healthy adulting

What internalized masochism does to their future mental health, finding voice, and the belief that women talk more than men

Why Gen X had better sex-ed than Millenials and why purity culture came in to roost after Gen X
