They are getting married, Why should they stop having sex?

Not too crazy on Thanksgiving.

Listener Question:

I wanted to hear your thoughts on this.My boyfriend and I have had pre-marital sex, we live together, and are planning on getting married when we finish at university. We haven't been with anybody else (each others "first"). People have told me we should stop, which is hard to do, but for me its harder because I don't see the reason why. If I stop having sex for a couple years, til I get married that doesn't make me a virgin. It also doesn't change the fact that we have had sex. Does God care more that we stop for 2 years, or if we make love based out of LOVE not LUST. I just don't see what would change if we stopped having sex for our engagement. Not living with my boyfriend is not an option at this point in my life (for various reasons). Thanks!

Listener Question:

Hi Stu and Lisa. By God's grace, I'm slowly moving forward with my spouse after he committed sexual immorality with a girl from a karaoke bar whom he maintained for a year and 8 months. After the discovery and after we talked,  he said the line of communication is still opened between them. We are both professing Christians by the way. I insisted that he stop communicating with the girl but he would rationalize that he can only stop if he sees the girl back in her feet again. It really makes me very uncomfortable and it goes against my belief on what is right and wrong. I'm at a crossroad and having a hard time on what would be my next move. Please help me and enlighten me. Thanks.

Listener Question:

At night when he gets home, he goes right to the couch after we eat dinner. It doesn't matter if there is a game on or not, he finds something to watch and disengages from life for the evening. We have stopped having sex because I am tired of trying to interest him in me anymore. I feel like I could parade in front of him naked and he would ask me to get him a snack from the kitchen. What do I do ? - Feeling Disconnected

Behind Every Great Man is a Great Woman

On the Show Today:

NY Post Article - WOW! We are super thankful to be part of this group of podcasters!

Listener Question:

Here is something I have never heard talked about from a Christian / pro-marriage perspective. The old saying is, "behind every great man is a great woman", or some variation of that. The feminist movement and modern culture would have us believe this is no longer true. What is your perspective on this?  Can a great, supportive woman make a great, successful man? What are the attributes of that great woman?

Thanks for your thoughts. I really enjoy your show.

Listener Question:

My husband and stepson never pick up after themselves. They never put anything away including things in the yard. I clean it up because we have a small home and I have to keep it tidy. But when is it enough to say I've had it?.... I need someone to help me clean up. May I ask... do other wives have the same issue?

Newlyweds want to put God First this post contains affiliate links

On the Show Today:

• Stu and Lisa are Traveling with their Sons School this week so its a Question from the past!

Listener Question:

My husband and I got married nearly a year ago and moved to a new town where he started a new job in the local church.  

I was wondering if you guys could talk a bit about personal faith and spirituality and how it fits into a Christian marriage.  The first year in a marriage is known to be rather eye-opening and my husband and I have had our fair share of struggles over housework and cohabitation.  However I feel that our deepest problem is how different we are in our own personal walks of faith and I’d really appreciate some advice on how to be one in our walk with God, and how to put God first both as individuals and as a couple.

I love my husband very deeply and I really struggle with our differences because I feel that it has a negative impact on how much I admire and respect him.  Therefore it impacts on how badly he feels about his lack of spirituality and he feels inferior. I think we both sense that God has so much more for him, how do I help him find it without emasculating his role as the spiritual head of our family?  And how should I nurture my own walk with God regularly in a way that doesn’t leave him out?
