FAITHFUL LIFE

For the man claiming to be a biblical Christian husband, having a cherished wife isn't an option - it's what the Bible requires of every husband. A wife who is cherished by her husband is the natural result of a husband walking according to the Word. Is your wife cherished by you? There's only one way to find out! What does being a cherished wife look like? And how can a husband better cherish his wife?

No wife can maintain intensity​ and passion on her own. Unless she's hurt and her heart is closed to her husband, every wife -- no matter what her age -- still desires to be kissed like she was on her wedding day. You're the leading man in this love story, so lead with an unforgettable kiss, every time. How do you do that? Listen in and find out.

Is your sex life in marriage what you thought it would be . . . what you had hoped? A few short years after the wedding (sooner for some) life has a way of sapping all the joy out of what God intended as a gift and blessing. What, exactly, does the Bible say about sex in marriage? How often should a coupe have sex? Is it okay if only one partner is satisfied? How does a husband or wife discover how to please their spouse?

The irony of forgiveness is that the wounded person has to do the forgiving. And yet, it is through forgiveness that God does His best work in our hearts. To have a genuinely close marriage, forgiveness is imperative. Do you know how to forgive? Are You a good forgiver?

Are you (or someone you know) living in continual struggle - and failure - with pornography? How about your thought life? Is that a place of purity? Many believe they are victims of this sin and can't truly get free and walk in victory. The Bible doesn't agree! Join the conversation to find total victory over the bondage of porn and start walking in strength, purity, and freedom!

The importance of total transparency with your spouse. Do you desire real oneness, genuine closeness, strength over the long term, and authentic peace in your marriage? Then never keep sin in your life hidden from your spouse. And, if you've made mistakes and sinned against him/her, there is a path forward.

This week Lisa and Matt share their own dark journey through the valley of shadows when their 5th child had a massive brain hemorrhage just before birth - about the Dr.'s diagnosis of complete brain failure and that she would never know them . . . if she lived . . . and how God brought hope to their hearts in the midst of the worst news. Has life taken you to a dark place? Where is your faith when you find yourself in the deepest valley? When life gives you a trial so severe, you don't know what to do next? God sees you and cares deeply? This is the place where faith is tested. Can we trust what God has said in His Word?

Do you know how to be the encourager that your husband needs? At some point the weight of the world is going to weigh down your husband’s spirit. At some point the clouds of adversity will darken his path. In that moment, in those days, during that season of life, are you using the power and the position as a wife that God has given you to encourage him in a way that will help sustain him through that difficult time?

How do Christian young people explore and develop relationships in a culture that cares nothing for biblical values? What advise would you give a single guy, woman?... What will you tell your own kids? Join the conversation as we interview our 20 year old daughter, Cambria Jacobson.

If asked, "Is your wife your priority?" What guy wouldn't answer, "Yes!"? But, is that how she feels? Or is she just one on a list of priorities, often losing out to the competition? Many husbands are eager to help when friends, neighbors, family, or the local church calls for help. There's always time for that . . . and the wife is left waiting, again and again. She's a good woman but, over time, the sparkle in her eye will dim and she'll withdraw to protect her heart. No wife wants to feel unimportant and undervalued by her husband. How can you change and give your wife proof that she is your #1 priority and doesn't have to compete with anything else? Or, make sure she never feels that way - ever!
