Celebrating Your Spouse

Celebration is one of the favorite characteristics that I love about God. If there is one thing our God is, it is a celebrator. He could have made the world all one color, but no, He celebrates His creation with endless amounts of color. All you have to do is drive upstate New York in the fall to see the splendor of color.

Becoming Emotionally Fit

About five years ago I got myself into a situation: I was 15-20 pounds over my ideal weight. I carried this extra weight for a couple years and found it hard to lose.

3 Tips on Overcoming Lust

Lust is a powerful enemy in the lives of men all over the world. (Yes, it affects women as well, but I am primarily speaking to men in this article.) Although collectively as Christians we know lust is wrong, the immorality of lust is still prevalent throughout the church. In over 30 years of counseling sex addicts and witnessing first-hand the amazing miracles and healing God can do, I have identified some common lust habits as well as proven tools to overcome them. God desires for all men to live a clean life and be free from lust once and for all.

Quick Tips

Do You Promise to Forsake All Others? Part Seven: The Children

Forsaking all others also means you prioritize your own children in such a way that your marriage remains the priority. I am in full support of women who want to be great mothers, but I’ve repeatedly seen this as an excuse not to be great lovers to their spouse. In these situations, dating the spouse ceases, the woman rarely expresses affection and praise, she lacks the energy or urgency to prioritize sex, she has no time for dates or fun or weekend away here and there. These are all symptoms of a woman who has moved from a lover-spouse to prioritizing her children or her role to be a “good mom” over her husband.

Do You Promise To Forsake All Others? Part Six: Family of Origin

Genesis 2:24: “For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife. And they will become one flesh.” Even in the first marriage where there were no parents, God made clear what the priorities of marriage are.

Do You Promise To Forsake All Others? Part Five: Others

Let’s explore what those “other” options that I’ve seen begin to erode or actually break that early promise to forsake all others. The obvious choice is the one everyone thinks of first: adultery. The husband or wife engages in a sex act—hand, oral or vaginal--either one time or ongoing. This act could include one or many people.

Do You Promise To Forsake All Others? Part Four: Functionship

We all experience change and depending on the paradigms we’re operating upon; our marriage can move from a vibrant lovership during dating and the early years into a functionship.

Do You Promise To Forsake All Others? Part Three: Our Pain

Unfortunately, pain will eventually begin to impact the marriage. This pain was either created within the marriage due to infidelity or another betrayal or is due to issues one or both the individuals didn’t deal with prior to the marriage.

Clean Class- Day Two
Dr. Weiss talks about what it means to be a protector and the role of men to protect women. Staying clean from sex addiction. Marriage was God's final creation. When you are married, you are God's son in law. How do you think God would grade you as his son in law? What we love we protect, and what we protect we love. If you are protecting a sexual secret, then you are loving the behavior or the pornography and hurting the people you love.
