    When to Fight for Your Marriage and When to Let Go - Dr. Willard Harley

    To make marriage last, there are three main areas that couples must focus on: making each other happy, avoiding making each other unhappy, and making major decisions together. Dr. Willard Harley has talked and written about the topic of “affair-proofing” marriage for decades. As a clinical psychologist, bestselling author with over four million copies sold, and marriage expert, he has counseled thousands of couples who have been at their wits’ end - and helped them get back on track! It’s so important to meet each other’s needs, Willard says, because that is where your love deposits come from. Marriage is complicated, and few people know what they’re doing when they exchange vows at the altar, which can spark emotional turbulence. Willard also discusses the red flags of potential adultery and how to deal with it. TAKEAWAYS Don’t set yourself up for cheating by refusing to be transparent with your spouse After or during an affair, the offending spouse must accept that their marriage is more important than chasing after anyone else If someone is continually unrepentant in their adulterous behavior, Willard recommends divorce as an option Every couple should be totally transparent with each other on all of their devices and social media 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/4qvgU8P Marriage Questionnaires: https://bit.ly/3O7P9Wq His Needs, Her Needs book: https://bit.ly/4awhH4C 🔗 CONNECT WITH MARRIAGE BUILDERS Website: https://www.marriagebuilders.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Marriagebuildersradio/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marriage_builders/ X: https://x.com/MarriageBuilder YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MarriageBuilders 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Tiny Revival (get 10% off with code TINA): https://tinyrevival.com/TINA   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

    Adultery is devastating and affects not just the couple involved but the entire family. How can you heal after such a deep hurt? How can you trust your spouse again? And if you’re the offender, can your spouse forgive you? “The road to restoration with your spouse is never guaranteed, but God’s hope is,” Robert Jones reminds us. Former pastor and decades-long counselor, Robert is the author of My Spouse Was Unfaithful: Finding Strength in God’s Presence. His book helps readers understand their suffering and guard against bitterness and a vengeful spirit, while pointing them to their truest hope: God alone. Robert addresses both the offender and the victim in cases of adultery, providing tips on how to communicate after suffering such massive trauma and how to walk through the healing process. TAKEAWAYS After infidelity, couples should individually put their focus on Christ to begin the restoration process and not immediately talk to each other The church should be involved in bringing a resolution when dealing with cases such as infidelity Psalm 46:1 reminds those who are suffering that God is a refuge and help in all conflicts and crises Adultery is a very serious sin: it’s a sin against one’s own body, breaking of the marriage covenant, and sinning against God 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE My Spouse Was Unfaithful book: https://amzn.to/46HVqOX The Death of Recess movie: angel.com/tinag 🔗 CONNECT WITH ROBERT JONES Website: https://robertdjonescounseling.com/ X: https://x.com/robertdjonesbob 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Tiny Revival (get 10% off with code TINA): https://tinyrevival.com/TINA Equipping The Persecuted: https://equippingthepersecuted.org/donate WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

    Forgoing the Fairytale: Pursuing Passion With Your Life-Journey Partner - Robert Paul

    “One lifetime is nowhere near enough time to get to know another human being,” says Robert Paul, the Vice President of the Focus on the Family Marriage Institute. When it comes to marriage, what keeps the passion and romance burning hotter than ever is a lifelong inquisitive and curious pursuit of your spouse. Ignore what secular culture and even misguided churches may be telling you about the “fairytale” of marriage. Your spouse is your life journey partner, in good times and in bad. Support and encourage each other. Avoid giving unsolicited or unkind advice. Don’t be bossy, but be a cheerleader. Keep Jesus at the center of your marriage, and if you need help, don’t hesitate to reach for it. Getting help is not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of courage, says Robert.     TAKEAWAYS   Nothing is more foundational to a marriage than having the relationship centered on Christ   Choosing a spouse is not about stepping into a fairytale - it’s about journeying through the trials of life together   Happiness can’t be the measurement of whether your marriage is going well, because it can change daily, depending on your emotions   Connect with the Lord in every difficult situation together as a couple and ask for His guidance and direction     🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Pop Culture Purge Tour: text TOUR to 55444 Empowered to Love book: https://amzn.to/4ra5Hfm   🔗 CONNECT WITH HOPE RESTORED Website: https://hoperestored.focusonthefamily.com/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Artza (get 20% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3H0uUGG Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

    Negative Body Image, Porn, and Meds Can Quietly Steal a Husband’s Desire - Sheri Mueller

    There are many misconceptions about the dynamics of sex in marriage, but often, the struggles of rejection get swept under the rug. Sheri Mueller is a licensed clinical professional counselor and the author of I Want Him to Want Me: How to Respond When Your Husband Doesn’t Want Sex. Women are conditioned to believe that men will always initiate and aggressively pursue sex. But what if they don’t? What if the sting of rejection is taking its toll on a woman and driving a marriage into the ground? Sheri discusses this very real and often isolating problem that is rarely addressed in support groups, counseling sessions, or at church. Issues like male body image problems, porn addiction, or even medication side effects that may be a factor in men not interested in sex. Sexless marriages can only be fixed by gently but directly addressing the root cause.
