Douglas E. Rosenau was born to missionary parents in French Equatorial Africa, and from an early age, he developed a deep passion for addressing the intersection of sexuality and spirituality. Over the past three decades, Dr. Rosenau has dedicated himself to serving as a sexual ambassador, therapist, professor, theologian, and author within the realm of Evangelical Christianity.

In 1994, he made a significant impact on the Christian community with the release of his groundbreaking book, “A Celebration of Sex.” The demand for this insightful work was so high that it was initially shrink-wrapped when it hit the shelves of Christian bookstores. Since then, Dr. Rosenau has continued to build on his expertise, establishing himself as a licensed psychologist, marriage and family therapist, and certified sex therapist. His extensive knowledge and experience in Christian sex therapy have led him to write numerous books and create teaching videos that explore sexuality from a Christian worldview.

After completing his Master of Theology degree at Dallas Theological Seminary, Doug went on to earn his doctorate (Ed.D.) from Northern Illinois University. He has since become a respected professor, nationally recognized conference speaker, and a dedicated educator in the field of Human Sexuality and Sex Therapy. Currently, he serves as a professor at Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta, Georgia, where he continues to inspire and empower students with his wisdom.

In addition to his academic contributions, Dr. Rosenau co-founded the Christian organization Sexual Wholeness, which aims to guide individuals towards healing and sexual wholeness from a faith-based perspective. As part of this mission, he played an instrumental role in establishing the Institute for Sexual Wholeness, which provides comprehensive training for Christian sex therapists and educators.

While Douglas Rosenau’s professional accomplishments are truly commendable, his personal life is equally fulfilling. Residing in Atlanta, Georgia, alongside his wife Catherine, Dr. Rosenau cherishes the joy of being a father to their daughter, Merrill, and a proud grandfather to their beloved granddaughter, Caitlyn. His commitment to mentoring and guiding individuals in their journey towards healthy and fulfilling sexuality has become a cornerstone of his life’s work.

Through his dedication, knowledge, and compassionate approach, Dr. Douglas E. Rosenau continues to transform lives, fostering sexual wholeness, and helping individuals grow in the vital aspect of their lives and relationships: their sexuality.
