 Conflicting Conflicts Ep 11 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 55:36

One of the biggest items in a marriage is very important in a relationship. This is something that can actually help a marriage grow stronger. Fights, arguments, heated debates, or discussions are all lumped into one. Now there are differing levels of fights and some fights should be avoided, but a good bellowing shout fest does and will happen from time to time. This is because a fight relieves pressure that has built up for sometime. Now fights do a few things one is lets the couple know that they are not on the same page and there is a slight adjustment needing to be made. These adjustments can be good for the couple or they can hurt. It all depends on whether both sides are playing fair or not. How to fight fair First off no Low Blows these are dredging up the past and throwing it in the others face. The past is gone. It is not going to do anybody, any good, being dug up. So leave past crimes where they are. Focus on the problem at hand. Next timeout are great for when the argument is getting very heated and no traction is being made. Some people call it 5 by 5 or Step 5 feet away for 5 minutes. Grab the dog, who is cowering under the coffee table, and take it out for a walk. Come back to the problem after 30 minutes to an hour, you will see a difference and maybe even a solution. This also give you time to come up with an "I'm Sorry". Yes Say you are "Sorry" for whatever the infraction is. It helps to start building a fresh layer of love,when foundation has been fertilized with a healthy helping of Humility. From here you can get a lot more done. Yet when the discussion starts back up don't jump in with an accusation of "You". You start out with the word you and the fight will not be fixed come up with a way to say what the problem is without accusing.

 Brown Chicken Brown Cow – Ep 10 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 52:52

Sex Yes that is the topic of this episode. It is fun exciting, naughty, and sometimes a bit sticky. But there can be times when sex can keep you from achieving that level of marital bliss you desire. We cover some of these topics Holding on to old baggage and wrong ideas can hamper Sex People are people. No this isn't about an old Depeche mode song it is just the truth we have our own life paths. Some people have had sex before marriage and some have waited till they said I do. Even then Men find out that their most common miss conception about marriage is that sex is going to happen every single day. Come to find out it is closer to once a week after the honeymoon is over and life has started in. Sometimes people have old baggage that they experienced from previous relationships and they can hamper the sexual relationship of a marriage. This can cause problems if the issue is not address with understanding, and caring. Many times these problems are fixable, but it is going to take time for that wall that was built up to be torn down and healing to take place. though you my good spouse didn't inflict that damage nor would you want to. Yet, as the song goes Don't ask her on a straight tequila night, She starts thinking about him and is ready to fight. She blames her broken heart on every man in sight On a straight tequila night  - John Anderson ""Straight Tequila Night" There is sometimes baggage and there is sometimes misconceptions. Talk about them or resentment starts to grow and you will drift from marital bliss. Mixed libito Yours is through the roof and your spouse; do they even have a libito? The problem that has plagued the ages. Seems that one always wants it more than the other person.What should you do about it? How Often should you have sex? is a great article by the folks at Hot, Holy, And Humorous blog. They mention that once a week is a good frequency. While Jana Cried Balderdash find out why. Masturbation in marriage Choking the Chicken, Flogging the Dolphin, getting you rocks off, However you say it men do it and women do to. There can be a problem with it when you spouse doesn't understand why you have to do it, sometimes at all. Us men just have to. Whether women understand why or not we just do. We like some time alone with our penis'. It is not that we love you any less. It is not that you are doing something wrong. It is just that we like our willies.

 Just because everyone else is doing it – EP 8 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 43:37

This week we expand on the Three Deadly A's of marriage, and we turn our focus for a little closer examination of Affairs. Why it looks like society condones affairs. What is wrong with a little extracurricular activities? Right? Well a lot of problems come from Affairs besides the hurt feelings of the spouse. In the  artical We desire other people - But not each other Talks about how they have lost the loving feeling for each other. While the article The recipe for happiness? An enduring marriage and an affair with lots of sex, actuall goes off and ecurages people to go out and have sex with other people because why? Other cultrues do it so why not Britian? I would actually say the very same reason that you mother would of told you, If Everyone else was jumping off a cliff would you? Just because France, Japan, and Finland thinks it is ok to have infidelity in their marriage doesn't mean that it is good. This author may think that it helps a marriage but it is very one sided. One person is going off and exploring a fantasy land while the one left home with the kids and responsibilities of life is still stuck in life mode. Marriage affairs are just a sign of being selfish and that there are problems in the marriage. These are symptoms to a larger problem that really needs to be addressed and easily fixed. Sure people go off and fantasize about different people they see in the world but acting on those impulses doesn't help the family and if you have kids doesn't show the kids how a marriage is suppose to work. This article completely takes this very important element out. It throws the Vows, or your sacrid promise that you made on your marriage day,  and just applies an eraser to it lit it never happened. There is a  line in the majority of vows of To have and to hold, To honor and to cherish, Forsaking all others, Till Death does you part. When you have an affair you are not honoring your spouse. You are not Cherishing your spouse. You are  forsaking your loved one for some other person. Now I maybe wrong but that seems like some of the most important lines of marriage have been thrown out and deemed insignificant. This raises a very alarming flag, so we have decided to discuss this this week.

 Marriage and the Three A’s – Ep 7 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:09:29

Marriage is one of those institutions that is extremely  resilient. It is able to handle some surprisingly tough situations. Yet, there are a set of situations where divorce is often encouraged. These are known as the 3 A's Addiction, though many health officials like to call an addiction a disease. That is not the case here and I express my thoughts as to why it is not a disease in the show. Basically addiction is a sign of selfishness gone unchecked. This is where the addict out their wants and desires before their family members. This can be anything from drugs, cocaine, heroin, and meth.To porn and alcoholism. Whether it is one or a combination, people are able over come, but many times it exposes the rest of the family till dangers physical, mental, or financial and the person who is addicted does not want to give up their high. Abuse is a another A that causes sometimes irreversible harm and damage to love one's who are affected. This can be any abuse, be it, mental, physical, or sexual. This is a situation that many times end in a person going to jail and the other might find themself dead. If you are or know that a family member is being abused. Don't think you can fix it. Get out off the relationship immediately. If the abuser does realize that they have gone too far then the burden is on them to get help. Once they start getting help they have to keep getting help for a year then you can try rebuilding the family with a team of councilors help. Affair is a heart wrenching A that is often a sign of other problems in the marriage. Unless the cheater is a narcissist. Again though this is a huge violation of trust and if the man or woman want to prove they are not going to do that ever again. They have to subject themselves to the 5th degree of questioning. And work tirelessly to prove they are not sleeping around.

 Great Marriage Expectations – Ep6 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:07:55

Marriage Expectations and What to Expect Oh so nice, you get home and What! The house is a mess. Supper is not even started much less even on the table.

 Marriage Happiness and Friends – Ep5 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 46:03

Marriage has to have friends outside of marriage. Everyone needs friends and everyone is going to have friends. Some friends are good for the marriage and others are not so good. Friends are good for helping you or your spouse let off steam. Either that is guys poker night or Margarita night with the girls. Couples need time apart to recharge the "Family Battery". Same as the kids like to see their friends so should you and your spouse. Yet, with that said, you don't spend all your time at friends or your friends at your house. For this will also bring in its own set of problems. For example, Wife feels like she is playing second fiddle to he husband's friend. This  can cause resentment and late night arguments, and nobody likes to fight about friends. Make that late at night and this goes double.
