Oh dear. That was terrible. I’m so sorry. You’re right, they aren’t qualified for that. Somehow we got it into our heads along time ago that we needed to go to the bishop for everything and they also were trained that they should counsel about everything. It’s incredibly unhealthy.
I had a bishop tell me once that I needed to have sex with my husband more often. That was 21 years ago. I haven’t gone to a bishop since to talk about any personal matters. That experience taught me that they are not qualified to give counsel on the state of my marriage.

Thanks for sharing. Love you! ❤️😊
Thank you so much for sharing this, Rachel. There has been so much shame and fear around sexuality. It's wonderful to have you address it!
