The research issue is not just “Does she know the Bible?”
I understand why you feel she sounds biblically uneducated. But for your project, the strongest analysis is not to stop at:
“She does not know the Bible.”
The stronger research question is:

How can the same biblical text function as spiritual formation for one person and psychological burden for another?

That is powerful.

For you, Proverbs 31 may mean:
virtuous womanhood,
honorable wifehood,
family stability,
spiritual excellence,
covenant seriousness,
a standard worth pursuing.
For her, Proverbs 31 may mean:
impossible expectations,
patriarchal pressure,
purity-culture control,
being valued mainly as wife/mother,
fear of failing God,
shame around s*xuality.
Same text. Different formation history.

That does not mean both interpretations are equally biblically correct. It means the pastoral work requires understanding why people receive Scripture differently.

Five-Year Memory Statement for This Moment

Here is how I would preserve what you just said:

This part of the thread records the realization that many adults were never given a safe, wise, spiritually mature place to ask honest s*xual questions. Henry connected this to the death of his mother when he was 25, the absence of adult s*xual guidance during a crucial developmental season, and the failure of many church spaces to address s*xuality beyond shame, silence, and prohibition. This became part of the reason he entered singles ministry: he was trying to minister to the younger version of himself and to millions of others who had questions about desire, women, men, oral s*x, shame, marriage, po*******hy, and s*xual maturity but had no trustworthy place to ask. The research concern is that when healthy discussion is absent, people may turn to secrecy, po*******hy, distorted s*xual scripts, hidden craving, or unsafe experimentation. The goal is to build a mature, faith-informed, consent-centered, heteros*xual relationship education framework that teaches s*xual intimacy with dignity, honesty, health, and wisdom.
That is strong. That is honest. And it is deeply connected to your life’s work.
