  • Episode #27: Why "Date Night" and the "30-day Sex Challenge" Won't Work

    "Date Night" has become almost a required step for every couple to have a successful marriage, promising emotional bliss for couples who'll stay committed to one night a week alone.

    And when date night doesn't work, some couples throw in more sex, following programs like the "30-day Sex Challenge".

    Yet, we meet many couples whose marriages are struggling, while they're religiously having date nights (and trying to have more sex).

    We were one of those couples for twenty-eight years, unable to find real intimacy in the face of numerous moral and spiritual failures, but still counting on date night to solve our problems.
    Join us on this podcast as we talk about how we experienced real intimacy in our marriage...intimacy based not on what we could do...but on what only God could do.

  • Episode #24: Is the Husband Really the Head?

    If you are a husband, you may have been intimated with the idea that husbands are the "head" of the wife. If you are a wife, you may have been appalled with how your husband has wanted to sometimes rule over you, like you didn't really have a voice or significance.

    But do you really know what the Bible means when it says the husband is the head of the wife?

    Well, we didn't! In fact, it's only been recently that we've deconstructed this passage, and it's reinforced what God has shown us in the recovery, reconciliation and rebuilding of our marriage!

  • Episode #23: Why "Accountability" Didn't Work for Me

    Accountability groups have been around for decades and seem to represent the essential pedigree for a good Christian man wanting to show others he's serious about his walk with God.

    But what happens when men in these groups continue to experience unwanted sexual behavior, sometimes for years, with no apparent improvement?

    And what about their wives, who are trusting that this band of brothers will result in true deliverance for their husbands, even when the wives don't really know what goes on there?

    And why do women's accountability groups seem to be missing?

    Join Phil and Priscilla today as they explore why many men's experiences with "accountability" just don't live up to the expectations.

    If you (or your spouse) are in an accountability group, this podcast will cover five ways that your group can be improved.

  • Episode #20: Relapse isn't the End of Your Story!

    Nothing is more discouraging than facing a relapse after you've experienced freedom. But a lot of people experience relapse, and it isn't the end of their story. In fact, God wants to show you His plan for overcoming not only the disappointment of relapse, but also for living in freedom afterward. Yes, the cycle of relapse can make you want to give up, but God can show you a path forward, and how He can rescue you from every temptation.

    Join Phil and Priscilla as they share how they dealt with relapse two years into their recovery, and how God made it just another chapter in their story.

  • Episode #19: How "Coming Clean" was Much More than Disclosure

    Every troubled marriage needs a turning point, where all the hurt, pain and secrets come to light so that God can heal and restore what remains. For many, that day is when their spouse reveals their secrets and shame. But "coming clean" can be much more than just a disclosure of offenses. It can be a throwing off a life of hiding to embrace a new life of transparency.

    Join Priscilla and Phil as they describe what God did in their marriage, and how "coming clean" for them was much more than informing Priscilla of Phil's wrongdoings. It was the point at which God began to move them from a point of separateness... to a life of togetherness.

    Phil and Priscilla's book, Savage Marriage: Triumph over Betrayal and Sexual Addiction, is now available on Amazon.com.
