In PBSE episode 254, Mark & Steve respond to a heart-felt submission by a man who has been married for 45 years and for many of those years, the sexual relationship between he and his wife has been very broken. The reasons are multifaceted and very complex. These include—the horror of emotional and sexual abuse his wife endured during her growing up years; an extremely rigid and shame-based religious culture which they both grew up in and continue to participate in; his periodic use of pornography; his anger and emotional abuse towards his wife; and other factors. He desperately wants to repair the damage he has done and find a way to heal the emotional and physical relationship in his marriage. Mark & Steve not only address the issues that this listener submitted, but the most common issues couples face in connection with healing sexual wounds, creating sexual safety and building a truly healthy sexual relationship. This PBSE listener and his partner's situation is very complicated, with a lot of moving parts:Her past abuse/betrayalTrauma and betrayal within the relationshipRigid religious backgroundShame surrounding sex; lack of open communicationMisinformation surrounding sexSexual secrecyAlthough this situation does have some unique elements, it brings up a lot of common struggles for couples, both in and out of recovery:The changing physical dynamics of sexual expression/reciprocation in an ongoing, long-term committed relationshipThe constantly evolving state of a relationship as a wholeThe need for ongoing, vulnerable discussion in a coupleship regarding the various elements to intimacy, including the physicalWe all have existing “sexual paradigms”—what sex or different sexual acts mean; how critical it is; how it impacts the rest of the relationship, etc. Are willing to step back to openly assess where these paradigms come from; challenge them; be flexible; etc?Really exploring a coupleship's sexuality means backing up from preconceived “norms” around sex acts and forms of physical expression:As a coupleship, you have the right/obligation to determine how and what you would like your physical and sexual relationship to look like, as well as what it means and represents. Mark gives the real-life example of an acquaintance whose wife had a stroke and was permanently paralyzed from the chest down—after tenderly caring for her for a decade, he said it was the most intimate, loving and connected 10 years of their marriage.YOU are the sole architects of your own relationship—you get to collaboratively build it into what YOU want!For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: "Sex in Our Marriage has Always Been "Broken."

Eric and Jason are back talking about the films of Masahiro Shinoda, this time discussing three films with bizarre emotional triangles of a sort: Our Marriage, Gonza the Spearman and The Petrified Forest. The guys are surprised how emotionally satisfying Our Marriage is despite its brief 66-minute running length. The film captures a specific moment in Japanese history with a brilliant sort of all-encompassing eye... hopefully a listen to this pod will convince you to check out this vastly under-known film. Which is not to say that Gonza and Forest are not excellent films. As Eric and Jason explore, they both are satisying in that particular sort of massive dark way Shinoda often delivers. Each is a fascinating, deep insight into human nature and well worth a listen and a watch. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jason-sacks/message

Keeping the church's relationship with christ pure depends on each Christian individually. Just like each spouse must work to keep a marriage relationship pure, we must all work to keep our relationship with christ free from third parties. There is one potential suitor that is a greater threat to this relationship than any other, and we must all be wary of letting our spiritual eyes wander. Please Subscribe!

All of these small gestures help the good news of Jesus reach more people so you can help me preach the gospel and teach the doctrine of christ church to as many people as possible. I appreciate your help. Now let's talk about the church as the bride of Christ. Husband and Wife = Christ and the Church On our program last week, we began studying about how the church is the bride of Christ, and in particular, we focused our attention on Ephesians chapter 5 verses 23-27. That's a passage that teaches us about the marriage relationship between a man and a woman, but it also tells us that the marriage relationship between man and woman parallels the relationship between Christ and his church. And from that passage, we drew several different lessons. Number one, we concluded that as the bride of Christ, we belong to him; we belong to no one else. He's died for us. He's purchased us, and we need to follow him, submit ourselves to him, and that it's no longer should I consider my life my own I'm to submit myself to him and follow him regardless of what I think or want. Our Marriage with Christ Begins in Purity Another idea we drew out of that passage was that christ died to purify the church and that our marriage relationship with him begins on pure terms as Ephesians 5:26 teaches, "that he might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word." And he's talking about the church. The church is cleansed with the washing of water by the word. This is a definite allusion to baptism, talking about how our relationship with the Lord begins at the moment that our sins are cleansed, that they are washed away. Baptism isn't a ceremonial cleansing. Peter makes this point in First Peter 3:21. Instead, it's the moment when God cleanses our hearts our souls from the impurity of sin, and this is the moment we become married to Christ. We Need to Keep the Relationship Pure We also draw out of that fifth chapter of Ephesians that Christ expects his bride to remain pure. One day, Jesus wants to present his bride "to himself as a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing but that she should be holy and without blemish." Just like that bride who wants every hair to be in place; every dab of makeup to be just right; for the dress to be without wrinkle, without blemish, without spot. That's the sort of bride that Christ seeks, and that's the sort of bride we want to be. We don't want to introduce third parties into the relationship. We don't want to bring in things that will come between ourselves and the Savior. So if I'm a part of Christ's bride, if I'm a part of the church,

Expectations vs Reality in a Marriage What is the reality to the expectations when we start a relationship? One of the more helpful conversations we have in our marriage, revolves around the expectations we HAD for each other, and the Reality of what actually is.From our upbringings, to movies, or Television, we brought in certain expectations for how the other should act. Maybe it's the cooking and cleaning expectations of a wife, or the financial security of a husband, but for us, the reality has been far more interesting than the expectations.In this episode, we dive into this topic and talk about why we have these expectations for each other, and what we do to LIVE in reality. Being candid about what our talents or weaknesses are and how they affect our home has been extremely fruitful, and helped stop the seed of resentment being planted. We have found that letting go of the expectations of how we should act,  we had for each other was a part of our journey. It will always be a balance of what we expect out of each other, and what we can offer. But communicating about it has helped us so much, and we look forward to figuring out how we can continuously help each other out. We hope that this conversation that we have on this episode can help any of you guys, in your lives because we know how helpful it has been for us. Let us know what your expectations for your husband or wife were when you first got married. Tell us how you guys deal with it. Email, text, or leave a comment to give us some tips for how to better handle this stuff!Thank you so much for listening guys!Follow us on InstagramSend us an email at whatsthedillpodcast@gmail.com Check out our other blogs too!And as always, subscribe, rate, and review.

Notes: Living a blessed life. Keeping God first.There are more than 500 verses in the bible concerning prayer; 500 verses concerning faith; over 2,000 verses on the subject of money and possessions.Jesus spoke about money in 16 of his 38 parables.SACRIFICED or REDEEMED?Exodus 13:12-13 NKJVJohn 1:29 NKJVGod gave his tithe (Jesus) in faith before we ever believed.Romans 5:8 NKJVGod gave Jesus in faith “that he might be the firstborn among many brethren”. (Romans 8:29)Exodus 12:7 NKJVMatthew 16:25 NIVThat's why tithing is so important. It is the primary way we acknowledge that God is first.God must be first…in all things!Our Heart, Our Family, Our Marriage, Our Money, and Our Church.

Hebrews 13:4-6 “Commitment, Contentment and Confidence” Introduction: I. Commitment to Our Marriage (4) II. Contentment with Our Money (5) III. Confidence in Our Master (6)

In this podcast, my husband Zane explains an 18 month experiment which involved a book, a chair, and "asking the marriage." It Started With a Book Several years ago, my husband Zane randomly purchased Listen to the Marriage: A Novel.  He was looking for a book to read on a long flight, and this one was (for some reason) located in the business section. Intrigued by the book's title,  cover art, and Harvard educated author, Zane bought a copy. Little did he (or I) know how this book would impact our marriage. The Concept of the Chair The book details a therapist's attempt to counsel a couple in crisis. During her interaction with the couple, the therapist often glances toward an empty chair which represents a fourth party in the room~the Marriage itself.   This personification of the marriage is a thread throughout the story line and the one that Zane expounds upon in the podcast. Zane: A Chair and a Question After reading the book, Zane began privately practicing a similar approach to our marriage. He chose a chair that in his quiet time, he would view as "Our Marriage." In the podcast, he explains how this looked practically. The SavvyCast: Let's Talk The Chair: Ask the Marriage I asked Zane to share the concept on my podcast, The SavvyCast, for all those who might want to listen. We also recorded a full video of the podcast for those of you who prefer viewing, it can be found here on You Tube. The Chair Concept Has Broad Application Zane points out that "Ask the Marriage" can be used in other areas. "Ask the Team." "Ask the Firm." "Ask the Business." "Ask the Friendship." The decision by one or more parties in any union to assign the union an "identity" can be a pathway to creating, maintaining or even restoring the integrity of the union. I hope this concept is helpful to you in some way. As always, feel free to reach out in the comments or through my email or social media. Thanks so much for stopping by. Be blessed, and stay savvy!!!

Thanks to popular demand, Jesse is back on today's episode! And this time, he’s joining me for the entire episode. We didn't really plan it... he was just sitting across from me when I went live and his mic was turned on. As you'll hear... he jumped right in! ;) We disagree about the weather, we talk about our new shower filter and how it's made such a difference in our lives, and I ask Jesse to share about the books he's been reading. And then we pick up right where we left off in our story last time. If you remember back to our last episode, we told you about a hard place that we were in, both personally and financially. Jesse had just lost his job, our second daughter had just been born, I was suffering from postpartum depression, and our marriage was on the rocks. That’s the point where we pick up the story today. In this episode, we share about how Jesse's struggle to find a job and our desperate place of needing to pay the bills actually inspired us to do some outside-the-box things. Little did we dream that what we would experiment with and set up during that dark time in our lives would end up changing the entire trajectory of our lives. In fact, there is a very good chance I wouldn't have this podcast or run MoneySavingMom.com or be living in TN or have the opportunity to help and impact millions around the world or have the wonderful friendships here we do if it weren't for that dark season of our lives. You never know what how God might use a really difficult season in your life to prepare you for something bigger and greater than you could ever dream or imagine! In This Episode: [01:48] - Jesse's mic is live -- surprise! (I didn't even realize it when we went live. I thought he was just going to wait to go live until later on in the show. But nope... that's not his style if he's sitting in front of a live mic! And I loved that he got to jump in at various parts to share!) [02:24] - My hair had been looking icky ever since we moved into our new house... I finally figured out what the problem was and share in this episode the inexpensive solution we came up with! [06:39] - I asked Jesse to share what he's reading right now. And we explain why I don't ask him this question every month, unlike my other guests. I love how honest he is and how we are so different when it comes to books and reading. [08:11] - Jesse and I talk about why we love You Need a Budget, this episode’s amazing sponsor, and Jesse shares more about how it works for him. [11:09] - We recount the time in our lives when Jesse was unemployed and I ask Jesse to share more how it was for him to walk through that dark time. [16:05] - I share about how that time in our lives propelled me to start MoneySavingMom.com -- and how I envisioned it was just going to be this little extra thing I did on the side. [18:02] - Jesse got a contract position at a big law firm right around the time I started MoneySavingMom.com and he shares more about that and how he grew so much from the various audiobooks and podcasts he listened to while doing pretty mindless document review at the law firm. [18:56] - MoneySavingMom.com took off from the get-go and far exceeded our wildest expectations. Within a year, we were making a full-time income from it.  [22:34] - Jesse and I open up about how so many people expected us to buy a house right out of law school and how people thought we were kind of nuts to keep renting. But we look back and are so glad that we did. [25:15:] - We share more about our crazy goal to pay cash for a house in 5 years and how this motivated us to continue to live as frugally as possible.  [26:08] - In hindsight, we can see so clearly how God used that difficult year to humble us, shape us, strengthen our marriage, and teach us to dream bigger. And to lead us on this journey we never anticipated... we'll share more about that in our next episode! Links and Resources: You Need a Budget (this episode’s amazing sponsor!)

We were introduced to this budgeting software by my brother-in-law, Justin, a few years ago. He and my husband, Jesse, are both what I would lovingly refer to as “nerds”. You know the kind of people… those people who think spreadsheets are fun. And who geek out over features in Excel. Yup, those kinds of people. You might as well poke my eyeballs out with a hot iron rod than get to me be giddy over creating spreadsheets. But nevertheless, I love Spreadsheet Nerds because they help keep people like me in line and on track!  Anyway, it was around Christmas time and Justin started telling Jesse about YouNeedaBudget — what we call YNAB for short. Jesse and I had both heard of this software before, but we had been using Quicken for so long that we’d not considered changing to anything else. Well, when Jesse saw the features of YNAB, he was intrigued enough to sign up for the free trial. And it was pretty much love at first sight. Truthfully, I can’t even begin to tell you how often I’ve heard him exclaiming to me, to friends, or just to himself something about, “How cool and helpful YNAB is!” I’m such a pen and paper and cash girl, but after all his raving reviews, I finally gave in and downloaded it on my phone and had him show me how it works. It’s really, really impressive. I love how we can see exactly how we’re doing in every budget in just one glance. And since we have multiple budgets for our businesses and personal, it allows us to track them all in one app. Which is so handy! They usually only offer a 30-day trial, but they are giving you all a FREE 60-day trial so you can really get a feel for it and see how well it works.  Go here to sign up for your FREE 60-Day YNAB trial.

Ladies and Gentleman, Happy Day of Love.  I know, no better way, then to start this special day  talking to the special gal of Empowered Electric.  You have heard me say over and over again that Empowered Electric would not exist if it wasn’t for Bridget Levin. I think when you read that you might think I’m referring to a one time decision, a moment of heroism, a single event that gave me the courage to jump ship and start my own thing.  HA! Please do not let yourself think that.  That would be like thinking that the wedding day, saying, “I do” or kissing the bride was the same as developing and maintaining a healthy marriage. To Be Honest this interview is meant to drive deep into what it really takes, what it really costs, to be married and start a company.  It’s hard, it’s painful, there are many ups and downs but if you are committed it can be  the  most amazing thing in the world. We are Happy, Our Marriage is Healthy, We Love each other Completely.  I hope this Interview helps you realize you don’t have to settle or ever stop fighting for eachother. Be sure to Watch the Complete Interview on our YouTube Channel  and follow along to her ridiculous sense of humor through the chaos at or on Instagram .

Shannon Hickman joins Natasha on this episode of Sex in the Mormon News for June 2018. They begin the discussion with comments from an article that recently came out in the "Journal of Sex Research" called, "God, I Can't Stop Thinking About Sex! The Rebound Effect in Unsuccessful Suppression of Sexual Thoughts Among Religious Adolescents" where they discuss the research supporting the view that suppressing sexual thought only causes more damage. Natasha and Shannon then revisit the Josh and Lolly Weed blog post, "Turning a Unicorn into a Bat: The Post in Which we Announce the End of Our Marriage" and how this has affected members as well as the LGBTQIA+ community.

It’s not all sunshine and roses in marriage, even when both you and your husband follow Jesus. My guests today share about one of the most painful possibilities in a marriage —infidelity. My friend Jae tells her story of learning her husband had an affair and the work God did in both of their lives to restore their marriage. Licensed professional counselor Cheryl Scruggs shares about her infidelity, divorce, and eventual re-marriage, along with a lot of practical advice and scriptures she learned in the seven years she was separated from her husband. The main takeaway? HOPE. There is hope for your marriage. It’s not easy, because we’re all sinners, but God can heal and restore us when we surrender it all to him. For all of us in marriage, I think it’s important that we are paying attention. In John 10:10 it says that the thief comes kill, steal and destroy, but I have come to give you life and life abundantly. God wants us to have a great marriage, not easy, not perfect. But it’s really understanding we’re both sinners and how are we going to walk this walk together in this relationship as a sinner married to a sinner.  **If you are in a relationship where you or your children have been physically abused, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or http://www.thehotline.org. What we chat about: Cheryl Scruggs and Jae share their marriage stories. Discovering God’s plans for marriage. Hope for restoration in marriage even after an affair. How do you know if God is asking you to stay in a marriage? Trusting God with your spouse and being open to what he wants to teach you and show you. Understanding our role as a wife God has called you to be. Recognizing the situations where it’s necessary to leave a marriage (physical safety, lifestyle of infidelity). It takes time for healing in marriage. Physical intimacy throughout marriage conflicts. Balancing advice from friends and family with what God wants for your marriage. Biblical roles in marriage. Scriptures Mentioned: Eph. 3:20 – Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us Matthew 19:26 – Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Deuteronomy 8:1-10 – Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors. Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands… For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land.

We all know what it feels like to lose perspective – we get caught up in the little problems in our day-to-day life and marriage. The laundry isn’t folded, your spouse is late getting the kids or getting home from work, etc.  Sometimes one helpful tool could help change that - this podcast is based off a post on our blog called 3 One-Liners That Make a Huge Difference in Our Marriage.  The Tension: It’s easy to get wrapped up in negative perspectives of life and marriage. Afton: I’m a 1 on the Enneagram and I see the world through a lens of everything could be better. So I always think that things in marriage could be better or more perfect. CJ: I tend to think that I could always do more in a day. I get into a rut – I get tunnel vision where I’m tempted to just work and work. Truth: Perspective is everything. Ted: Nancie and I have these 3 one-liners that have made a big impact on our marriage: We have rich people problems. This one came up when we caught ourselves complaining about things that really aren’t big issues – like not being able to get wifi in the bonus room. It sounds like a very serious statement, but I’ve found it to be lighter than it sounds. It reminds us to keep things in perspective. Do you want me to fix it or feel it? This one changed everything for us. Early in our marriage, Nancie would share something and I would instantly try to fix it, which would put her in defense mode. I’ve learned to ask this question, and she has started stating up front what she needs. It’s made a huge impact. We know tragedy and this isn’t it. We’ve had loss in our family, and my dad used to say this to me when I was young. It can be easy to lose perspective and make things bigger than they are. But if you have perspective, it can help reduce conflict. Your one simple thing for this week: Choose one one-liner and talk about it with your spouse. These one-liners are great for you to use personally. But if you talk to your spouse about them, they can really impact your marriage. Thanks for joining us for the Married People Podcast! We hope today’s episode helped you realize that marriage is a little easier than you may think. We hope you’ll subscribe to the podcast on iTunes and leave a review – they help us make the podcast better. If you have your own one-liner that you use in your marriage, we’d love for you to share them with us on Facebook or Instagram. If you want more resources, check out Your Best Us and our blog at MarriedPeople.org. Finally, we hope you’ll join us for next week’s episode!

Ephesians 5: 22-33 Wives and Husbands. The marriage between Husband and Wife goes deeper than just that. I pray you are blessed beyond comprehension in what you are believing God for IN Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit is waiting for your fellowship and wants to be your everything. Will you allow Him to be God of your heart. Give God your all because that is exactly what He has done for us through Christ Jesus. We pray for all of God's Marriages and that our marriage worships God IN Christ and that Holy Spirit helps us in everything. Our Marriage with God IN CHRIST reflects Our Marriage with Our Spouse.... HIS GRACE ABOUNDS!

Jealousy is destructive to both the one who is being jealous and the one who is receiving it. After 19 years of marriage we've experienced jealousy at different times and over different things. Jealousy  can take the form of: interrogations about where someone has been, what they have been doing or who they were with searching through your spouse's phone or through a computer questioning any time that your spouse happens to look at a member of the opposite sex rifling through their bags/suitcases/briefcases for “evidence” increasing anxiety over what your spouse does when you are not around them Where does jealousy come from? There is no easy answer but there are a number of ways that it can begin in one’s life. These include: Low Self Esteem - being told that you are not good enough, pretty enough, handsome enough, smart enough Feelings of insecurity or fear of abandonment - being hurt in the past can set you up to try and protect yourself in the future Fear of vulnerability or fear of rejection - the fear that if you reveal your true self you will be loved less, that by sharing who you truly are your spouse will not love you Jealousy is destructive in marriage. In this week's show Tony and Alisa talk about the impact jealousy has on your marriage and what you can do about it.

Hopefully you haven't actually had sex on a roller coaster. That would be very difficult to say the least and a bit dangerous too. No, this roller coaster is the parenting kind. The one that you a part of each and every day of your life if you have little ones to adult children living with you. The stress of raising, disciplining, educating, and being active with your kids can put the breaks on your sexual intimacy. You're unable to let go of the daily activities to be present with your spouse, you continue to replay the argument from 3 days ago, and/or you feel guilty because you missed the soccer game. This week we share how the roller coaster ride of parenting has impacted our marriage and how we are able to still have the sexual intimacy we desire in our marriage. It's doesn't happen with a snap of your finger and yet with consistent baby steps forward you will have the emotional, spiritual, and sexual connection with your spouse. 040 - Screw the Kids This is Our Marriage 140 - Scheduling Sex Total Transformation Leave a review on iTunes | Submit a question | Call (858)876-5663 Learn more about your ad choices.
