Church Sponsors 30-Day Sex Challenge, Parents Rise to the Occasion

Posted by Kelly Mills
meet the webbers

Doug and Lorena Webber have gained a small measure of fame for answering a challenge at their church. The Relevant Church asked married members to commit to have sex every day for a month, while single members were supposed to abstain. The idea was marriage improvement and so on, and while I'm not a religious person, for once I'm considering a conversion. The Webbers have a toddler and a newborn, so you know, thanks for making the rest of us look bad, guys.  

What was the response to their 30 days of marital magic? Their phone was ringing off the hook, which is the last thing you need when you are trying to meet a challenge. Doug was offered free coffee at his Starbucks, someone asked for his autograph, and people he hadn't heard from in years got in touch with him. It sounds like it was all just short of strangers forming a high-five line on the street. And the couple report that their marriage did improve, that they communicated better, and they learned about each others' needs (no, not like that, I mean the need for honesty and time together.) Hey, maybe we could do a challenge like that here! Um, but let's start next month, because we're tired.

Im guessing this challenge will be followed by the pitterpatter of a new set of feet, who will never want to hear the story of how they were conceived.
