Dallas Pastor Ed Young Sees Teachings Affirmed in New Marriage Study

A new study shows that intimacy and quality time together are vital for married couples to enjoy long-term happiness--a finding that highlights the teachings of Dallas minister Ed Young.

2012-05-21
NEW YORK, NY, May 21, 2012 (Press-News.org) For some pastors and religious leaders, the topic of sex is more or less off-limits; for others, it comes loaded with political implications. Dallas pastor Ed Young, meanwhile, has long viewed sex from a perspective that is at once biblical and practical. In fact, a common topic in his Dallas ministry is that of sex's important role within a marriage--a role that is underscored in a surprising new study published by the Huffington Post.

The study offers evidence to support the idea that couples must actively work to cultivate happy married relationships. Specifically, couples who spend regular time together throughout the week--time away from the children, and also away from household chores--enjoy a much higher degree of satisfaction in the bedroom. And happiness in the sexual realm translates into happiness throughout the marriage.

These findings underscore what Ed Young has long taught, and what he crystallizes in his just-released new book, Sexperiment. The book, directed at Christian married couples, explores the link between marital intimacy and overall marital happiness, arguing, from a biblical and pastoral standpoint, for the importance of married couples sustaining a robust sex life.

Ed Young is not the only pastor to take on this topic in recent months. Mark Driscoll and many others have also penned books about sex within a marriage, but Young's Sexperiment has avoided controversy where some of the others have not. In fact, his book is noteworthy in large part for its practical, pragmatic focus. Ed Young offers his readers advice on how to keep married intimacy passionate, creative, and frequent.

But Ed Young's Sexperiment is more than just an advice book. As its title suggests, it also calls readers to a sexual experiment--specifically, urging married couples to have sex together every day for a week, and to evaluate the impact it has on their marriage.

The Dallas pastor writes that, while sex is far from the only important facet of a healthy marriage, it is important, and offers numerous benefits. The book explains that some of these benefits include stronger lines of communication, higher standards of purity, a greater sense of unity, and a clearer understanding of God's purpose for marriage.

Sexperiment is meant to be read primarily by husbands and wives together, but the book is also useful as a teaching resource for church-wide discussion groups and even for Sunday School classes. Young penned the new book alongside his wife and ministry partner, Lisa Young.

ABOUT:

Ed Young is the founding pastor of Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. He has written more than a dozen books, including his latest release, Sexperiment: 7 Days to Lasting Intimacy with Your Spouse. The book, written alongside wife, Lisa, has garnered a great deal of attention for its unconventional take on the importance of sex within a marriage. While many religious leaders avoid the topic, Ed Young has preached the importance of intimacy within a marriage for years.

Stanford scientists document fragile land-sea ecological chain
2012-05-21
Douglas McCauley and Paul DeSalles did not set out to discover one of the longest ecological interaction chains ever documented. But that's exactly what they and a team of researchers – all current or former Stanford students and faculty – did in a new study published in Scientific Reports. Their findings shed light on how human disturbance of the natural world may lead to widespread, yet largely invisible, disruptions of ecological interaction chains. This, in turn, highlights the need to build non-traditional alliances – among marine biologists and foresters, for example ...

Controversy and Confusion Surround Proton Therapy

2012-05-21
In a new KLAS study titled "Proton Therapy 2012: Dollars, Decisions and Debates," the majority of participants said that concerns about market saturation and an estimated initial investment of $150-$200 million would likely prevent them from looking at proton therapy in the next five years. "Besides cost, providers mention that ROI is a concern due to the patient referral base, staffing requirements, and ongoing maintenance costs," explained Monique Rasband, oncology research director and author of the report. "On the flip side, some currently ...

Hitting snooze on the molecular clock: Rabies evolves slower in hibernating bats

2012-05-21
Athens, Ga. – The rate at which the rabies virus evolves in bats may depend heavily upon the ecological traits of its hosts, according to researchers at the University of Georgia, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. Their study, published May 17 in the journal PLoS Pathogens, found that the host's geographical location was the most accurate predictor of the viral rate of evolution. Rabies viruses in tropical and sub-tropical bat species evolved nearly four times faster than viral variants in bats in temperate ...

Pollution teams with thunderclouds to warm atmosphere

2012-05-21
RICHLAND, Wash. -- Pollution is warming the atmosphere through summer thunderstorm clouds, according to a computational study published May 10 in Geophysical Research Letters. How much the warming effect of these clouds offsets the cooling that other clouds provide is not yet clear. To find out, researchers need to incorporate this new-found warming into global climate models. Pollution strengthens thunderstorm clouds, causing their anvil-shaped tops to spread out high in the atmosphere and capture heat -- especially at night, said lead author and climate researcher ...

Acid in the brain

Acid in the brain
2012-05-21
University of Iowa neuroscientist John Wemmie, M.D., Ph.D., is interested in the effect of acid in the brain. His studies suggest that increased acidity or low pH, in the brain is linked to panic disorders, anxiety, and depression. But his work also suggests that changes in acidity are important for normal brain activity too. "We are interested in the idea that pH might be changing in the functional brain because we've been hot on the trail of receptors that are activated by low pH," says Wemmie, a UI associate professor of psychiatry. "The presence of these receptors ...
