			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A great marriage doesn&#8217;t just happen. It takes purpose and intentionality. Here are 7 steps that will help you reach the level God has in store for your marriage!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Have A Spouse Centric Relationship! </strong></span> The most important earthly relationship you have is with your spouse. Husbands, put your wife first. Wives, put your husband first. Yes, even above the kids. Because remember&#8230;kids leave and spouses stay!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Have Regular Date Night/Mate Nights</span></strong> When you have a regular time that you can get away as a couple, even for a few hours, it&#8217;s like an oasis in the middle of the desert!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Remember Special Occasions And Keep Them Holy</strong></span> Throughout Scripture, God challenges his people to remember what he has done for them. Remember those times in your marriage that are special to you&#8230;and celebrate them together!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Speak About Your Spouse With Words Of Honor!</strong></span> Proverbs 25:11, &#8220;A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Install A Purification System</strong></span> Set ground rules and guardrails that ensure you won&#8217;t go over the edge and the ledge of compromise. For example, Lisa and I have developed our own &#8220;10 Commandments of Purity&#8221;. Write yours out together and commit to keeping your marriage pure.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Satisfy Your Spouse Sexually</strong></span> The Bible challenges us to satisfy our spouses regularly, not to neglect them (1 Corinthians 7:5). Be intentional about meeting your spouse&#8217;s sexual needs. Marriage should be a needs-meeting contest!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Crash Through Quitting Points</strong></span> &#8211; Every marriage has those times when you want to quit. But don&#8217;t base your marriage on <em>feelings</em>. Commit your way&#8230;see your covenant to your spouse the way God sees it. And break through  those quitting points to discover greatness on the other side!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Day 3 of <em><a title="Sexperiment" href="http://thesexperiment.com/sexual-chocolate">SEXPERIMENT</a> </em>and we&#8217;re already hearing some great stories about how this week is strengthening marriages around the country! As Day 3 also kicks off, I want to address the husbands.</p>
<p>Husbands, what you do determines the trajectory your marriage takes. So don&#8217;t just sit on the sidelines the rest of this week and think sex is just going to happen. Because if you do, it probably won&#8217;t!</p>
<p>Be creative in how you pursue your wife! To help you out, here are just a few things you can do to set the tone…</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>HIRE/BE THE MAID </strong></span>– A clean house (that she didn’t have to clean) is a perfect stage for the Sexperiment!</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>MAKE HER DINNER </strong></span>(and not just takeout) – Find her favorite recipe and actually take the time to cook. The kitchen can be one of most romantic rooms in your house!</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>LEAVE HER NOTES </strong></span>– Hide cards, letters and notes around the house, in her car, at her office. A spontaneous note will keep her thinking about you all day!</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>BUY HER FLOWERS/SWEETS </strong></span>– Yes, they sell these even when it isn’t Valentine’s Day!</li>
</ul>
<p>As you intentionally pursue your wife, you&#8217;ll discover a new level of intimacy and connection with her. And if you have any other ideas, let me know..either comment below or <a title="Ed Young" href="http://thesexperiment.com/stories">send in your story to TheSexperiment.com</a>!</p>
<p>Have a great Day 3!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the past several weeks, we’ve had the amazing opportunity to talk with many people about the message of <em><a href="http://www.thesexperiment.com">Sexperiment</a></em>. And of everyone we&#8217;ve had the chance to talk to, one of the most entertaining and engaging has been <a href="http://http://drdrew.blogs.cnn.com/">Dr. Drew Pinsky</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.edyoungblog.com/files/2012/02/Dr.-Drew.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-633" src="http://www.edyoungblog.com/files/2012/02/Dr.-Drew-300x228.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="228" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve thoroughly enjoyed our discussions with Dr. Drew. He is one of the easiest and most brilliant people to talk with! You know that I’m a huge question asker. I believe the best way to learn is by asking the right people the right questions. But Dr. Drew takes question asking to another plane!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><a title="Ed Young" href="http://drdrew.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/07/tonight-drastic-action-in-response-to-school-sex-abuse-allegations/?hpt=dr_mid">Tune into CNN HLN at 8 pm CST tonight to check out our latest interview.</a></strong></p>
<p>Help us carry the message of <em>Sexperiment</em> even further. Because we believe this book will continue to strengthen and restore marriage, families and communities around the world!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>(And just to let you know…off camera, Dr. Drew is one of the nicest and funniest guys we ever met! Tune in tonight!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In less than a week, <em><a href="http://www.thesexperiment.com">Sexperiment </a></em>will begin to strengthen marriages, repair families and ultimately change the way people see the connection between God and sex. For too long, we have been falling for the world&#8217;s lies about what sex is. It&#8217;s time to get back to understanding the truth about this amazing gift &#8211; God&#8217;s truth!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s just a sample of what you&#8217;ll find in our upcoming book.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thesexperiment.com"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-593" src="http://www.edyoungblog.com/files/2012/01/SEXPERIMENT_BANNER-2-300x167.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="167" /></a></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px"><em>Sex. For such a small word, it has an enormous influence on our lives. From the time we’re very young, sex is something we hear about, talk about, and think about—whether it’s in a healthy way or not. It’s in our music. It’s in our movies, television programs, magazines, and books. Conventional wisdom in the advertising industry is “sex sells.” If they want to sell a </em><em>product, from shampoo to automobiles, they do all they can to get us to believe it will make us be more sexy, or get more sex. Yet, no matter what we may think we know about sex, so many people don’t understand the full effect it was designed to have. </em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;padding-left: 60px"><em>The Sexperiment is a challenge that was created to help you and your spouse reconnect with what sex is supposed to be. The premise of the challenge is simple and clear: Have sex with your spouse once a day for seven consecutive days. It may not seem like a lot on its surface, but the implications of having sex for a week, as you will discover in reading this book, are much more intricate and will produce long-lasting results. For one week of your life, if you decide to take it on and get it on, the Sexperiment is designed to help you realize just how much sexual intimacy can do for your marriage.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left">This is just the beginning of a week that could revolutionize your marriage! <a href="http://thesexperiment.com/buynow">Make sure you start today!</a></p>
