Every couple has conflict. Every marriage has conflict. Having conflict in your marriage is not necessarily a bad thing. How you end the conflict is critical! The goal is not to eliminate the conflict it is how you walk through it that matters. In this episode, we discuss how we learned how to have conflicts that matter, and still come out the other side feeling stronger. It was not an easy process in our own marriage but we discuss some practical ideas that can help you transform your conflict from dysfunctional to moving closer together.

Most couples are excited and maybe a little nervous about sex when they get married. However, all too often, somewhere along the journey, challenges start. Every couple will have times when they are missing each other sexually. Sometimes, these differences grow and become a primary contention. It is all too often we have heard couples talk about the distance in their sex life as one of the reasons why they are separating or even divorcing. The church usually does a lousy job of talking about sex. If they talk about it, it is usually to say "don't do it" before you are married and "just do it" when you are. Oh, and if you run into trouble, you will probably have some verses miss quoted to you. In this episode, we tackle the challenge of sexual intimacy and discuss how to grow together, so sex doesn't tear you apart!

In part 3 of our Growing Intimacy series, today are (finally) talking about sexual intimacy. This might be the intimacy everyone thinks about when they hear the word intimacy but it is really only part of the whole design. Sex and sexual intimacy are either not taught in church, or used in unhealthy ways usually against women. In this episode, we share practical ways that couples can continue to work towards each other as they lovingly pursue healthy sexual intimacy.

Welcome to the Still Becoming One Podcast! When we married we deeply desired a Christian 'one flesh' marriage when we married, but we had no idea how. We tried and fell flat for a long time, going through many dark times. We wondered when the oneness was supposed to begin. Renewing grace and love wasn’t an easy process, but more than 20 years later, Brad is a licensed counselor, and Kate is a relationship coach. We work with couples and individuals who desire to discover what building a one-flesh marriage means, helping them uncover and understand their stories and the unique challenges keeping them stuck. We invite you to journey with us as we are Still Becoming One. In this episode, we share some of our own marriage journey!
