Say Or Text A Few Words Into Your Partners Life That Will Bless Them And Encourage Them, And In The Process Will Strengthen Your Relationship! What do you think?

In The Beginning... A Purpose Of Marriage

In The Beginning...

We all know the creation story... “there was not a helper suitable for Adam." Who was Adam that there was not a helper suitable for him? 1. He was a man made in God's image; 2. His mind was aware of his purpose and he was given an assignment; 3. Adam’s spirit was connected to his creator.

  In His Image...

We know that God is a triune (three in one) being as is man. (Body, Soul, and Spirit) We are a spirit, which gives us God awareness and interaction. We have a soul, which is our mind, thoughts, emotions, preferences, likes, and dislikes, etc.. This gives us self-awareness. And we live in a body, which gives us world awareness and allows us to inter-act with our world and others.

 Equally Yoked...

None of these characteristics were true of the animals, insects, nor other living things that God had created; so God takes out of Adam a part of what he had put into him, and created a helper suitable for him.  To encompass, to surround him, to fill him in on every side. Adam was now equally yoked.

  The Ideal Pairing...

The first thing that we must remember is that whomever we seek to share our lives with, and that can only be done in marriage, is to know that to have to optimum relationship, we must compliment, uplift, encourage, pour into, and buildup each other on all three levels of our being. That is body, soul, and spirit. 

But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion. 1Cor 7:8-9 ESV

  A Purpose Of Marriage

We date to mate, we mate to find love, we love to unite in marriage, and we marry to experience a completeness, which is experienced in sexual fulfillment. It is only through marriage that we are permitted to experience this dimension of love, which is expressed in the physical aspect of our being, We have now experienced love of every level... Body, Soul, and Spirit!  And thus God says, “It is not good for the man to be alone.”

13 Signs you might be falling in love!

In this fun and brief episode I along with my friend and co-host Minister Brenda Bristol examine 13 signs to be aware of that might be signaling that you’re in Love.

While many people may not know what love is, still others might not realize that they might actually be in love. 

Here some ways to tell!

13. When your on the phone with them late at night and they hang up...you miss them already when it was just two minutes ago 

12. You read their texts over and over again... 

11. You walk really slow when you're with them... 

10. You feel shy whenever you're with them... 

9. When you think about them, your heart beats faster and faster... 

8. You smile when you hear their voice... 

7. When you look at them, you can't see the other people around you... all you see is him/her... 

6. You start listening to slow songs, while thinking of them... 

5. They become ALL you think about... 

4. You get high just from their scent... 

3. You realize that you're always smiling to yourself when you think about them... 

2. You would do anything for them... 

1. While reading this, there was one person on your mind the whole time.....

Your Husband's Sexuality Is Your Gift

While in past episodes we have focused on the needs of husbands. Wives must also realized that your husband's sexual desire is also a gift to you.

Having great sex is not going to erase your marriage problems but it will greatly increase your husband's focus, faithfulness, and determination to work toward building a greater marriage.

Every woman wants to feel loved, cared for, and desired. Men do too.  And, we are to love, care for and fulfill each others sexual needs. Scripture puts it this way... 

1 Corinthians 7:3-5

³ Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.  ⁴ The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.  ⁵ Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.     

Wives know that his desire for you is not only to be viewed as "his need to be met"; but also as his drive to please you... and draw him closer into the loving relationship that you both desire.

Listen to this week's episode to find out more...

Whats Holding You Back From Your Husband?

In this installment we look at something which is often brought up in counseling sessions. As I talk with couples, each have their own desires and needs; which are often quite different, yet most men seem to have the same issue. Sex.

I find it facinating that while wives are willing to "go the extra mile" for their husbands, they are willing to cook, clean, decorate and due a host other things  "for their Husbands" yet they are often unwilling to do the one true thing that he often wants and thing that will build intimacy in their relationship.

"In counseling wives usually have about 4 or 5 things that they would like their husbands to change to make them happy and strengthen their relationship. Men typically have one... and it almost always has to do with sex."

Now while there are valid reasons for not engaging in love making such as an physical and emotional illness, self-conscienceness, lack of desire, and lack of enjoyment. Without making love couples are not engaging in the one thing which will in especially men restore the intimacy and caring in the relationship.

Now realizing how important it is to intimacy... whats hold you back from your husband?
To find out more listen to the broadcast and be sure to share with your thoughts and comments.

Understanding Your Husband's Relational Sexual Needs

Understanding Your Husband's 

Relational Sexual Needs

In this issue we look at a hormone called Oxytocin. Have you heard about it?  Probably not. Did you know that it is actually the hormone which causes us to feel closer to one another? It is actually sometimes referred to as the “cuddle hormone”. And this hormone is far more stronger in women that in men because of the higher levels of estrogen in a woman’s body.

Not Surprisingly this hormone skyrockets during pregnancy, labor, and breastfeeding which explains the overwhelming maternal love and desire new moms have for their babies. It is a key in the bonding process of any relationship. It causes us to feel closer and connected to each other. 

Now what IS somewhat surprising, is that there is only one time when Oxytocin levels spike in men. And that is immediately after lovemaking. Thats right, men are biologically predisposed to feel more emotionally connected, caring, and loving, after intimacy with their wives. 

He will be more attentive, patient, giving, and altruistic to his partner. Perhaps this is why God tell us through the writings of Paul ...Deprive not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your lack of self-control.

Understanding Your Husband's 

Spiritual Sexual Needs

This episode addresses spiritual sexual needs. While many of you may be curious about this subject, wondering how these two topics come together, let me assure you that they do. Many of us are aware of the verses in 1 Corinthians chapter 7 which speak to the issue of marriage, stating that it is good not to marry. However, because of (sexual) immorality men and women should marry and should not “withhold” sex from one another. 

Paul states that… If you can’t control yourself sexually, it is better to marry than to burn with passionate desire. Surprisingly and simply put, sexual desire is a valid biblical reason for getting married! 

Sadly so many spouses (mostly men) marry only to later find out that their partners aren’t “burning” nearly as often as they are. Not only is sex a physical need and an emotional need; it is also spiritual, in one instant in particular… when ones sexual needs are not met. When lovemaking advances are not received, men often and ashamedly may start to gravitate to pornography and self pleasure which brings about guilt and overwhelms his spirit that causes the riff in his relationship to get bigger and possibly lead to divorce.

Understanding Your Husband's Emotional Sexual Needs

Understanding Your Husbands 

Emotional Sexual Needs

This episode brings up something that I am sure many on you never thought about. Women I'm sure don't normally think about the emotional aspect of their husbands sexual desires. And dare I say that men, while aware of what they are experiencing don't always identify it nor are they ofter able to articulate it to their mates.

Impotent, although usually associated with a man's inability to perform sexually actually means: unable to take effective action; helpless or powerless. 

You may be surprised to find out that many men are impotent, not just sexually, but due to their inability to engage their wives in satisfying lovemaking. This frustration of feeling helpless or powerless impacts their careers, health, family, relationships with friends, and their children. 

As men try to cope with satisfying their sexual / emotional needs, which can often be a major factor in steering their lives (just ask Gen. Petraeus), there is but one person on the planet who is capable of providing this satisfaction in a right, dignified, holy, and legal manner; which will not cause shame, embarrassment, nor disrupt his family and lifestyle. That person is his wife.

Be sure to listen to this week's episode to find out more.

Understanding Your Husbands Sexual Needs

In this episode I really get down to an issue which is plaguing thousands of couples each and ever day. The lack of understanding of sexual "needs" in a marriage.

According to a poll sited by A. D. Hart in his book "The Sexual Man"  83 percent of the 150 Christian married men surveyed, stated that they don't believe that women understand a man's sex drive.

Many men are living in a state of sexual frustration. Doctors, Lawyers, Business leaders and even those in ministry are no exception. Sadly the women in their lives do not understand that it isn't just a an over active libido which drives their partners but there are actually physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational needs which me have that must be fulfilled and if not , your relationships is rapidly headed for failure.

Listen to my broadcast to find out some things to you maybe didn't know about your husband's sexuality and dare I say that many men might not be aware of them as well.
