OUR STORY

Both of us came to know the Lord as adults and began attending a large church in Hermosa Beach called Hope Chapel. We met when Bill began leading a small group that I (Janean) attended. Newly separated from our first marriages, and both single parents we became friends and prayed with one another for the healing and reconciliation of our broken marriages. We spent four years together in a small group, attended single parent functions and went to family camps with our children. We lost touch for thirteen years when I (Janean) moved to Colorado Springs until our eldest daughters grew up and recognized each other at a mutual friend's wedding. They connected us again and two years later we were married.

After 20 years of being celibate, completing the difficult job of being single parents and shutting down our sexual desires, we immediately faced some sexual difficulties that we didn't know how to deal with. We couldn't find anywhere to turn; every time we brought up our sexual struggles to pastors, friends and even Christian counselors they would avoid the subject and become uncomfortable. We then searched for a Christian sex therapist in our community and found none. Many specialized in sexual addiction (which is completely different than couple's sex therapy) but we found no one who counseled couples in becoming "one". When we looked for information at the bookstore, we found many books on spirituality and making love especially in the Eastern tradition such as tantra sex or kama sutra, but very few books that celebrated the spirituality of Christian married love. Unfortunately, we have found that many Christians are even uncomfortable reading Song of Solomon because it is an erotic book of the Bible that celebrates new love, romance, and married love.
