Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been married a little over a year now and this is my second marriage. Since the wedding, my husband and I had been searching for a new church home that we mutually agreed on. We visited churches and settled at a church close to our home, with a good stern pastor. We loved his preaching style and felt really welcome there, until one Sunday when the pastor’s message was...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married to my husband for 13 years, but we have been together for a total of 23 years. We have one son and my husband is a great provider for our family. I am, however, concerned about the example of manhood that he’s displaying for our son. My husband is non-confrontational, so we haven’t argued in years. If we have a disagreement, he will just agree with me, t...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am engaged to a 63 year old man that acts a lot older than he is. His thoughts on sex and life in general shock me and I need some advice. I’m only 59 years old and I still enjoy sex and have tried to be patient with my man. He thinks I’m a freak because I try to initiate sex daily. He likes to grind and do a lot of kissing, but we rarely go all the way. I like to take ca...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am writing you for advice since I have heard you guys talk about this on the show before. I’m in my mid 30s and I’m an educated man with a great job and I’m financially secure. I was in a 10 year relationship that ended a few years ago and since that breakup, I have had problems meeting women. I have been ignored by women when I try to speak to them or strike up a convers...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have two children with my high school sweetheart. We both come from seriously dysfunctional families and we were all each other had. Shortly after we graduated, I got incarcerated for 18 months on a drug possession charge. During this time, my kid's mother met an older guy and he began to take care of her and my kids. He bought her a new car and moved her and the kids int...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 46 year old single lady and I am ready for the next chapter in my life. In 1999 I dated a man off and on for a while, but finally ended things with him when I found out he got another woman pregnant. I moved on with my life and he moved to another state. Well, in 2018, he and I reconnected on social media. Since we live far apart, we texted and called each other dail...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a married man that drives part-time as a Lyft/Uber driver for extra income for my family. Last week, I got home late one evening after working my part time job and I decided to take my wife and 2 year old out to dinner. As my wife was securing our child in the car seat, she yelled out “What the hell is this?” I immediately turned around in my seat and I see my wife pin...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with a great guy for the past six years. We live an hour apart so it’s not far at all and we see each other regularly. When we spend time together, it’s wonderful and we have a lot of sex to make up for the times we’re apart. Although we have a lot of sex, it is never the romantic experience that I crave, because I’ve never seen my...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married for 14 years and we have two sons. My husband is a middle school principal and I work full time in an office. My husband and I have a great social life and we used to focus on keeping the romance alive in our marriage, but my boys are very active in sports now, so it’s hard to find time to hang out together. It has not affected my husband’s social life a...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I really need your help and advice with an embarrassing problem. I’m a 28 year old, healthy black male and I am single. Since I was 14 years old, I have been having frequent erections. I have been to several urologists and a specialist and each doctor told me that I’m completely normal. I have talked to my male friends and older men and they all say that it does not sound n...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve known my husband since I was in high school and we’ve been in an off-and-on relationship for 31 years. Years ago, my husband made bad choices and he was sentenced to 8 years in prison for selling marijuana. I stood by him the entire time he was incarcerated because I knew he was my soulmate. When he got out of prison, he kept his promise to be with me forever and we ha...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a hardworking, educated, financially secure, good looking mature woman with a lot to offer, but since my divorce, I had been having trouble with dating because the men I meet say that I have too many prerequisites and they lose interest. My goal was to meet a man age 55 to 65, but instead, I finally met a man that is 75 years old. He is retired and he’s everything that...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been with my husband for 6 years and we’ve been married for 2 years. I have myself to blame for what I’m going through now, because it was an issue before we got married. My husband has a problem with texting and talking to other females. When I’ve addressed the issue with him, he always says “Nothing is wrong with texting and talking, as long as I’m not crossing the l...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a mother of 2 beautiful kids and have been married for 8 years. When I met my husband, life was great and out of nowhere, he swooped in and stole my heart. We dated for a good while before he proposed and I withheld sex until I got the ring. It’s like we knew we were soulmates when we met, so he did not mind waiting until we were engaged to have sex. He took on my two c...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been married for four years and I am not the kind of wife that snoops around to see if my husband is talking to other women. I know for a fact that he is talking to other women and I pray that his commitment to me can withstand temptation. I was married before and my ex-husband and I are cordial to each other, but, whenever I talk to him, my current husband is around.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I have been together 28 years and we’ve been married for 17. We have a 19 year old son together and my son recently got his father hooked on Instagram. Before my husband got on social media, we watched movies as a family, we’d go walking in the evening and even fool around in the morning. Now when he wakes up, he’d rather look at pictures of topless women or...
