Restoring Honesty in Marriage 

Impossible marriage redeemed

Disagreements on religion

Courtship for long distance couples

Avoiding family breakdown

Laugh at yourself

Doug examines a case study about a marriage that had nearly fallen apart but was eventually revived. In this relationship, the couple got engaged after just four months. Although the wife had doubts about the marriage, she reassured herself that even if it didn’t work out, she would at least have children.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Matt - Do you recommend a longer courtship for long distance couples? (36:51)
Cecil - My wife left my marriage after her parents died. I am wondering if she was wrong for leaving. Should I look for a divorce after 15 years? (46:32)

What's allowed in the bedroom?

Issues with lack of interest

Intimacy when you have a special needs child

Intimacy should not hurt

Sarah Bartel, co-founder of Cana Feast joins Doug to discuss how women can enjoy holy and healthy physical intimacy with their husbands.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Mary - My husband would wake me up at middle of night. I would tell him no, but he'd keep insisting. I got to the point, that I told him, ‘It feels like you're raping me'. Was that wrong for me to say? (15:00)
John - How would you prioritize your spouse in terms of intimacy when you have a special needs child? (39:00)
