0:00.0	Hi, friends. Welcome back to sort of awesome. I'm your host, Meg Teats. I am so happy to be
0:04.8	joined today as I'm always happy when this person is sitting across the miles, but screen to screen
0:11.6	with me, my very dear friend and longtime co-host and creator of SimplyRebecca.com. Rebecca
0:18.7	Huffer. Hi, Rebecca. Well, hello. Thank you so much for the warm welcome. We always have fun.
0:26.5	When we are on microphone together, it does not feel like there are miles and miles and miles
0:31.5	separating us. I hope that the awesomes feel the same way, and I know they do, especially when we
0:36.8	get to hear from you. We have a topic today that we have definitely talked about on microphone
0:44.6	together that rarely for the main sort of awesome feed. Most of our conversations around marriage,
0:51.3	sex and intimacy, we've kept in private. How did we, Rebecca? Yeah, so like, why are we here?
0:58.3	How did I land us here? Yes, most of the time when we've covered, like I said, marriage, sex,

1:31.5	is by Sheila Regregrie, and it's also co-authored by Rebecca Regregrie, Lindembach, and Joanna
1:39.0	Swatsky. And I was just blown away by this book. I think many of the awesomes are probably
1:45.9	familiar with Sheila. She has been doing some extraordinary work online through her blog and through
1:51.7	her Instagram profile and through this book and her follow-up book. And this was definitely one
1:59.6	of the best books that I have read this year in terms of making me think, making me analyze,
2:05.9	you know, things that I've been taught, and really truthfully, like diving into what was I taught
2:13.6	as a young bride and a young woman about how sex in marriage should look and what I should expect,
