An increasing number of couples report that masturbation and pornography are causing difficulties in their relationships. Research shows that pornography use is one of the strongest predictors of poor relationship quality and stability, both for those in dating relationships as well as married couples. It's even been linked to divorce. In this episode, you will discover how to break free from this toxic habit.
Marriage can be tough if you are not prepared for the inevitable challenges. A great marriage is entirely possible and worthwhile. The key? Learning how to fight fair and effectively navigate through conflict. Research shows that couples who learn how to argue productively, compared to couples who do not cut their divorce chances in half. Conflicts are necessary for great relationships because they allow couples to engage each other, each using their unique fundamental belief system about conflict resolution. Most people have a predetermined way to resolve conflicts that serve as the foundation for their system of beliefs, behavior, and reasoning. When conflict is present in a dating or marriage relationship, the two people must determine whether their dating or marriage methods for dealing with conflict are aligned and if they are actually in sync to resolve their differences.
In this podcast episode, you'll gain invaluable insight on how to love a woman according to a biblical standard. This episode is from my audiobook, Marriage It's In Your Hands. Husband, do you struggle with ways to showcase how much you love your wife? True love, the kind of love that keeps a couple together for a lifetime, is not a feeling but an attitude. It says, "With the help of God, I'm going to do everything I can to enhance the life of my spouse." In this podcast episode, you'll learn exactly how to do just that.
Your date could become your mate, and your mate will determine your fate. Ladies, you must be able to recognize and select a great man to become your future husband. Find out what men to ABSOLUTELY avoid!
Many couples "play house," but never make their house a home. Everyone knows that the American family structure is changing. In recent decades, significant increases in divorce and out-of-wedlock childbearing have dramatically altered the social landscape. Compared with married couples, cohabiting couples report lower levels of happiness, lower levels of sexual exclusivity, and poorer relationships with parents. Annual rates of depression among cohabitors are more than three times higher than among married couples.
One of the best ways that we can begin building a friendship is by learning to focus on the other person rather than on ourselves. In this podcast episode, I am going to discuss the first two levels of friendship that a person must have that allows them to build a healthy marriage, which is the acquaintance and casual friendship.
Marital friendship is one of the characteristics of a happy and lasting marriage, as well as the foundation of a healthy marriage. Building and nurturing the marital friendship can strengthen a marriage because friendship in marriage is known to build emotional and physical intimacy. Ideally, this should be done before you decided to get married.
In Greek culture, the term "love" was expressed using different words with unique meanings. We typically don't use these distinguishing words anymore. Today we loosely use the word "love." Because of this, love can mean many different things to many different people. In today's podcast episode, I would like to share with you what it means for a man to love his wife unconditionally.
Transparency can create deeper marriage relationships. However, it can also cause resentment within the marriage. When you set out to have be truthful and have transparency, your spouse will not be able to handle that level of honesty if the two of you have not created a safe space of love within the relationship, to be open and honest with each other.
Marriage can be tough if you are not prepared for the inevitable challenges. A great marriage is entirely possible and worthwhile. The key? Learning who you need to become before getting married. We must "be" before we can "do," and we can "do" only to the extent which we "are" and what we "are" depends upon one who we choose to become. Like many things in life, proper preparation prevents poor performance in marriage.
Communication is the mortar that holds a marriage together – if it breaks down, the relationship will crumble. The reality is that most people do not listen with the intent to understand but listen with the intent to reply. When spouses no longer communicate effectively, there is a breakdown in the marital communication lines. You do not have to let this be a stumbling block, but instead, let it be a stepping-stone to effective marital communication as you make the relational adjustment and begin to start seeking to understand the other person before you are understood.
What if I told you that getting married doesn’t automatically make a man function like a husband to the woman he is married to. A man’s character, integrity, self-discipline, obedience to God and commitment to love the woman he is married to unconditionally empowers him to function as a husband in a marriage relationship.
When it comes to finding the right person to marry you can have faith in God to select the right person for you. When you honor God, the person He has designed and assigned to you, the right one will come across your path as though drawn by a magnet.
