Conflict Management in Marriages Healing from Betrayal
Conflict is inevitable in marriage. But often couples assume that all conflict is bad or wrong and believe the goal is to eliminate it altogether. But my guest today has a different approach when it comes to conflict in marriage.
His name is Andrew Arthur and he is a mediation specialist with both personal experience and professional expertise in addressing conflict in marriage. In this episode, Andrew helps us to normalize the reality of conflict, gives a simple definition of conflict, how to navigate the needs and interests of both parties in the conflict, and unpacks the 5 specific “conflict styles” and how they intersect in marriage.
If your marriage is struggling with conflict and how to resolve it in constructive ways, this conversation with Andrew will help.

The Need for Boundaries After Betrayal
Boundaries are essential after betrayal, but few have any experience of knowing what boundaries to set and how to set them.
In this episode, Tammy Gustafson helps us navigate this delicate but necessary topic. Tammy is a licensed counselor who is passionate about helping women recover from trauma, PTSD, and betrayal.
Boundaries are more than just drawing lines and enforcing consequences when they are crossed. They are about safety, responsibility, self-care, and the building (or rebuilding) of healthy relationships.

The Stopwatch Acting Out Cycle
Addiction can be simply defined as a repeated cycle of unhealthy or harmful behaviors that gets worse over time. In order to break free from addiction, recovery must include understanding this cycle and how to respond differently to its triggers.
Today’s guest is Vern Tompke, a 30-year pastor, podcaster, and founder of Band of Brothers, a community of men helping men find freedom from unwanted sexual behaviors. Vern has developed what he calls the Stopwatch Acting Out Cycle as a tool for helping men understand their addictive cycle and how to respond more quickly when tempted to go down old paths of self-destructive behaviors.

How Do You Know if You are Changing?
There is an old saying used in Alcoholics Anonymous, “If nothing changes, nothing changes.” Also, you may have heard of a simple statement to describe insanity: “Doing the same thing over and over, but expecting a different outcome.”
If you want to be free from destructive and unhealthy patterns in your life, change must happen. But how can you know if change is actually occurring?
In today’s episode, Stephen and I will unpack some core principles and practices that will indicate if true change is happening.

Customer Reviews
Major help
I have made some heavy mistakes in my life. Thought there was no hope to change. I thought I was defective or a narcissist even. Johnathan and his testimony as well as this podcast has helped me come to Christ and change course in my life. I am saved by grace and now believe there is hope. I am grateful for this ministry and others like it. I can’t donate now but once I have more money I sure will.
Episode 894 is a problem.
I’ve been listening to Pure Sex Radio for quite awhile now. This episode placed entirely too much responsibility on the betrayed partner. It had very strong codependency undertones. She’s careful not to use that word, but the betrayed partner is called controlling, obsessed, ridiculous, rigid, too much etc. As a betrayed spouse, hearing phrases like, “It’s harder to be the addict in a lot of ways,” is not only offensive, but very damaging and potentially dangerous. I’d like to see it removed.
Kristin Cary interview, The Immanuel approach
It took about 15 minutes in for me to connect with this topic but once I did, I had to listen again, from the beginning, several times. It spoke directly to my heart and made me want to explore Kristin’s work to see how it can help me. I related to Jonathan’s perspective and loved his questions, and of course, Kristin’s answers. It grabbed me right where I am in my personal struggle and gave me hope that I can heal and recover if I can just sustain this fresh motivation to do the necessary work. Thank you so much, Jonathan and Kristin!
