The pleasure, joy and fun that are to be enjoyed in the marriage relationship are clear in the Bible! Even sexual love is encouraged and celebrated. Too often, couples expect the fire of love to go away or at best, be dimmed with time, years, and experiences. However, the Bible leads us to believe that enjoyment should be the norm well into the later years of the marriage. The value of intimate love and expression within the marriage relationship, and the encouragement to “enjoy” is the discussion for this weeks’ podcast.

Can you really win at home every day? Sometimes, it’s easy to feel like you’re just killin’ at home and some days you feel like you are an utter failure with all home matters.

Join Eric and Gena as they discuss how you can win at home, regularly!

Romance and intimacy are so vital to the marriage relationship! The Bible is clear about the intimate love of a husband and wife. Marriage should never become stale and boring. Husband and wife, both, should take initiative in keeping the marriage romance alive and hot! Today's podcast is an encouragement to keep pursuing romance; keep marriage exciting. Understand that years and experiences bring changes, but the fire of love never has to go out!

“Fans” go to extreme measures to show allegiance, love, and gratitude to that or to who they are a fan of. In this podcast, the Boggs encourage us to be fans of marriage and family! Are you a fan of your spouse? Who knows that you are really in love and thankful for your spouse? Is it clear to the whole world? As a fan, we build up marriage and individually encourage our spouse. Let’s be marriage fans, champions of marriage, showing the whole world the love of Christ as we love one another!

The Bible is clear; we have an enemy, an adversary, that desires to “devour” us! Because of that, we are warned to be attentive. It is easy to get caught up in the busyness of everyday life and find ourselves lulled to sleep by our routines. In turn, we are often numbed to the tricks that the enemy can play to keep us distracted. In this episode, Eric and Gena encourage us to wake up, to pay attention, and to be intentional about the things and the people that God has given each of us! It is time to Wake Up!

Sex is a big deal and it’s God’s plan for marriage! In this episode, Eric and Gena talk plainly about the value of sex in marriage. As a married couple, is your sex life all God intended it to be? What can you do to make it better than it is today? Some simple changes could bring a new level of satisfaction and fun! And—- God would be pleased with that!

Each of us have an attitude. Is yours worth catching? Does it match up to the “…attitude of Christ” we are called to in Phillipians 2:5-10? In episode #42, the Boggs discuss attitude, effort, and emotions and how they all affect us and our relationships. It’s true in life as a whole, but especially true in marriage and family—- “Attitude is everything!”
