We often hear that marriage is hard and takes tremendous amounts of work (which it does), but today we wanted to focus on and remind others about the blessing and beautiful benefits that come as a result of doing the work! We share how the blessings of creating a joy-filled, honest, trustworthy, and intimate relationship don't compare to the work it takes! What constantly amazes us is how many couples say they are grateful for the crisis they have endured because through it, closeness and intimacy were created that could only be born from struggle.

Drew shares how he went from suffering from pornography addiction to husband material by understanding how to embrace his sexuality instead of fighting against it.

By learning from the behavior, we discover where we need true healing to find lasting freedom.

In this week's episode, we continue our conversation with Mark Kastleman about healthy recovery while in a relationship. He elaborates on the purpose of daily check-ins and not letting our emotions get the best of us. One of our favorite moments was when he explains how to create a shame-free home and how to know what is appropriate when talking to kids about pornography and healthy sexuality in an over-sexualized culture.

How does porn affect the brain? Is it possible to have an addiction and a chemical dependency in the brain, making it near impossible to " just stop"?  In this episode, we ask how to change neuropathways and develop healthy ways to communicate and meet our needs compared to using coping mechanisms. We talk about why addiction can make us forget about life's most important things; our relationship with Jesus, our spouses and children, and our calling.
