Do you ever feel like you deserve more than you’re currently getting in your marriage? Look at the facts, it’s in the contract, I’m getting the short end of the stick and deserve just a little more. Even though marriage involves a promise and even a legal document, feeling entitled will destroy the intimacy and connection in marriage. In this episode, we share how we’re growing true gratitude in our marriage by eliminating the phrase, “I deserve”.

Have you ever thought, I don’t deserve this? When you have experienced pain and suffering, you are often quick to think, I deserve better. But the more we feel entitled to the good things that God has for us, the less we can truly appreciate them. In this week’s episode we share how understanding God’s grace and mercy helps move us to a place of true gratitude.

Have you ever just wanted to be given the benefit of the doubt? It feels awful when someone, especially your spouse, assumes the worst of you in a doubtful or unclear situation. When it’s assumed that our intentions are off, we get defensive and less likely to offer grace in return. This week we’re sharing how we’re learning to give each other benefit of the doubt and how to grow in grace in your marriage.

By this time in an elections season, we can become worn out from all the divisive rhetoric both from the politicians and their followers. Sometimes it makes you want to scream, can’t we all just get along? Why is everyone talking and no one actually listening? We can have similar issues in our marriages and relationships, where we become more and more polarized when someone doesn’t agree with us. Then we can fall into the same trap of divisive rhetoric and me-vs-you language that makes unity impossible. In this episode we share how we can find unity and consensus in our marriage so that we both win.

Sexual intimacy requires a vulnerability and giving of ourselves like nothing else that we share in our marriage. Then throw in previous trauma, marital disconnection, and the demands of modern life, and it’s not surprising that we’re not always “in the mood”. In this episode, we talk about how we overcome our obstacles to sexual intimacy.
Content note: Although we do discuss the effects of trauma on sexual intimacy, there are no explicit descriptions of abuse or sexual activities.
