Marriage By The Book

On today's podcast, we will talk about the benefits of getting a grip on yourself (aka self-control) in marriage, and answer a listener question about the sexual relationship.  

Self control is important.  Many people can get angrier with their spouse than anyone.  As a result, they might say or do things they don't mean.  Controlling that is the topic of this podcast.  In this episode - 

1. Reasons/excuses for losing control.
2. What a lack of self control can do to a marriage
3. Can we control ourselves?
4. If so, how do we do it?

Also, we answer a listener question about what to do if you have come to dislike sex.  There is an answer from the Bible for questions about sex.  God is not a prude!  he invented sex and intends for it to be enjoyed and get better with time.
