Hello friends and dear readers. Today is just a quick note to celebrate two items.
The first, and the better of the two, is that today is Phil and Mrs. Phil’s wedding anniversary. 22 years ago, two high school sweethearts stood at the altar and made vows that they intended to keep for the rest of their lives. We are so blessed to be happier together now more than ever in our lives. We never would’ve imagined that we would be naturists, but we feel it’s what the Lord wanted for us. Exactly 2 years ago, we renewed our vows on Blind Creek beach as our first nude beach experience.


Tomorrow we are participating in our very first nude 5k. Naturism has been a huge blessing for us. It helped cure Phil’s problems with lust and porn, and helped Mrs. Phil with her body acceptance.
We could never go back to how we were before, nor would we want to!
The second item we are celebrating today is 100 posts on Aching for Eden! If being naturists was something we would have never guessed, being naturist bloggers is even more crazy! It’s also been so rewarding to get to share with all of you what we are learning, and we are humbled that people are reading and finding our posts helpful. We didn’t know if we’d have 5 posts and call it quits or what. We’re still going strong after 100 posts, and we have you to thank for it. Keep reading and sharing this goodness with a world that needs it!

Congratulations on 22 years. And thank you for creating the blog. I appreciate that you aren’t trying to justify a lifestyle, rather you try to stay true to scripture.

Thanks, Paul! I donβt think we found a lifestyle. I think a lifestyle found us.

That’s a good way to put it. I’m still not sure the lifestyle has quite found me, yet. But a different way of seeing the body definitely has.

Yes. And to your point scripture informs our decision and does not deny it.

Congratulations are definitely in order! Praise God for giving yβall a 22 year marriage. Both of you deserve praise, too, for putting forth the effort every good marriage requires. Without that, AchingForEden may never have come to be. It was none other than David L Hatton who introduced me to your site; I will forever be grateful. You and Mrs Phil have touched my heart (and many others) with your posted articles. You are changing lives! Bringing blessings into other marriages. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of that by posting three of my own articles. As you progress toward the next 100, I pray the wisdom of Proverbs 3:5-6 will be your guide.
Much love, my brother and my sister in Christ!
