Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Communication Breaks Down in Marriage
Q: Today's question is a complicated one: I'm really attracted to one of my husband's friends and I don't want to hurt his feelings. What should I do?
Acknowledging the attraction without acting on it is a first step; it's important to confession and honesty within the marriage. The guests advise sharing the concern with the husband to maintain transparency, setting boundaries around the source of the attraction, and seeking accountability and prayer to refocus on the spouse. If the attraction becomes a persistent distraction, consider practical steps to avoid situations that intensify the issue while engaging in prayer and open conversation to protect the relationship.
A New Season for The Naked Marriage
Q: What should I do if I feel like I lost my wife when our first child was born?
Talk honestly with your wife about your feelings and find ways to reconnect as partners.
What a Naked Marriage Really Means
Q: What do I do if my husband has been having an affair?
You need to ensure there is a complete cutoff of communication with the other person and focus on rebuilding trust, which takes time and effort.
I Thought I Married the Wrong Person with Jimmy Evans
Q: How do we get on the same page regarding my wife's brother who is always asking us for money?
The wife needs to set boundaries by agreeing on a limited amount they can give him, as continuing to give money is enabling and unhealthy for their marriage.
Why Marriage Matters: Building Love That Lasts
Q: How can I be the wife he needs me to be if I can't get out of my brain to relax?
The best way to overcome anxiety is to shift your focus from anxiety to excitement about being with your spouse, and to engage a Christian counselor for support.
