- "The 'Good Girl Syndrome' is a result of the negative conditioning that
occurs from parents, church, and society as they teach-or fail to teach-the
goodness of sexuality and its divine purposes. This conditioning leads to
negative thoughts and feelings about sex and the body, resulting in an
inhibited sexual response within marriage. . . .The Good Girl Syndrome may
be the great underlying and underestimated cause of sexual dissatisfaction
in marriage."
- "The marriage ceremony is simply insufficient to reorient one’s attitude
from 'Thou shalt not' to 'Thou shalt—regularly and with great passion!'"
(Dr. James Dobson)
- "When parents focus only on premarital chastity and forget about preparing their
children for the joys of sexual fulfillment in marriage, their message is skewed to
the negative with mostly warnings and consequences rather than filled with the blessings
and godly purposes of sex."
(Dr. James Dobson)
- "When teaching chastity or sexual abstinence, the message is often, 'Good girls don't.'
This is true prior to marriage. However, the message should also be, that, once married,
'GOOD GIRLS DO!'"
- "We're weary of dealing with young women who were taught for years, 'Sex is bad. Sex is bad. Sex is bad...'
and then later, 'Oh, you're getting married tomorrow, then sex is good!' You can't undo a life of teaching
in a couple of days, weeks, or months. "
(Joe Beam)
- "Satan has 24-hour access to our hearts and minds through society's swamp of sexual
sensualization. Sex is everywhere in society, but at home or at church, discussion of
it is often taboo. It's a 'forbidden subject.'"
- "It's pretty hard for a young bride to relax when her internal programming tells
her she is doing something sinful."
- "Sex became a chore for Lisa—something that had to be tolerated for the sake of her
husband. Babies and motherhood came along, and sex was simply relegated to the back
burner as another item on her 'to do' list."
- "Overcoming the Good Girl Syndrome does not mean you become a bad girl, but that
you develop a healthy and accurate understanding of the godly purposes and potential
of sexual relations in marriage."
- "An unseen spell had been broken. She was freed from the belief that sex was bad
and dirty, and that men were uncontrollable monsters. She learned that sex was ordained
of God, and that He wanted her to fully enjoy it."
