Biblical Foundations of Love

When times are tough

Declarations of nullity 

Valid marriages

Are you in a difficult marriage? Are the people around you encouraging you to get a divorce? Today, Leila Miller joins Doug to discuss fidelity to your marriage vows even when it’s difficult.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Joe - I have a friend who is considering an annulment. What should I say to him? (18:42)
Vinnie - America is a throw-away culture, so it encourages this problem. (28:40)
Annie - Fr. John Hardon and marriage (30:35)
Marci - I was married, got a divorce, then we remarried, and I wonder which marriage is valid. (38:23)
Rita - The basis of psychological reasons is overused, but I think it’s still a valid argument. Sometimes it really prevents you from fulfilling your vows. (43:42 )

Honoring Vows Through Hardship

Magdala Ministries 

Why women get addicted to porn 

Viewing pornography with my spouse 

How husbands can help their wives 

Importance of forgiveness

Rachael Killackey of Magdala Ministries joins Doug to discuss the often-overlooked issue of pornography addiction among women. Together, they explore why women struggle with pornography, the underlying factors that can contribute to addiction, and the hope available for healing. They also discuss the role of forgiveness in the recovery process and offer practical guidance for husbands who want to support their wives with compassion and encouragement as they work toward freedom.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Veronica - I first viewed pornography when I was 7 because I found my dad’s magazines. MTV made it worse. It really hurt my marriage when my husband and I watched it together. (19:45)
Mary - I am a recovering porn addict, and it is difficult because it is everywhere. I had to delete all my social media accounts. (24:29)
Keri - My daughter is online making money from porn. She wants to stop, but she likes the money. She cannot love a man, and it is affecting the entire family. How can I help her? (29:15)
Margaret – I’m almost 70 years old. My dad worked in the porn industry, and all of us children were affected by this. None of us had a healthy marriage. It’s difficult to fight for virtue, but it’s so worth it to help your own children. (46:00)
