MARRIAGE: Exploring Bold Truths For Couples

[@CharlieMurphy22]

Loving the show guys! Thank you for doing this and sharing your experiences and knowledge. My son and I have been listening together. I’m glad to know the show is still going. I started listening on Spotify, right after the first episode aired, but the podcast never updated past episode 4. I logged out and logged back in, so I asked my son and he said he listens on KZbin, so here I am. Keep it up, and God bless!

You guys touched on so much gold in this episode. Each one of those topics could be a whole podcast. Thanks for putting in the time to share your wisdom, experience, and truth.

I been a Christian my whole life but never really took the time to read the Bible, so I’m starting that today because y’all put it in my mind that I need to be wise in the word before I take on tasks like finding a GF or starting a business, I just thank y’all for the reminder! I always get distracted and really need to let god Guide me and just listen to him. Which speaking of how can I let god take control of my life? And be patient with what he’s doing behind the scenes!? If y’all see this question hopefully y’all have some advice to help me, keep up the vids, on all the channels! Love listening and watching 🤠

Romans 8:28 All things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose. If by Gods grace you have the desire to seek the Lord, seek Him! Seek Him while He can be found through His word DAILY. Read the Bible daily; 1-3 chapters starting in the New Testament. Trust that God is in control of everything and is sovereign, meaning no matter what good or bad God has a purpose for your good and His glory. Trust that. You’re on the right track, brother, just go all in!

Another awesome episode! Looking forward to the guests y'all will have on in the future! I think it would be cool to have Andrew, Isaac, and Matthew (Zealous) on for future episodes (maybe Hyper too)!

I absolutely love the podcast and listen to it on Spotify most of the time but I noticed this morning on my way to work that the past 2 episodes are not up on Spotify. Just thought I’d give a heads up

Thank you both sooooo much for talking about this subject open and honestly. Really we NEED more Godly men talking about this. The love and respect book by Dr. Eggerichs completely transformed my marriage! I was raised by a single mother, and no one taught us that men understand love by being respected. We thought, “well I’ll show him respect when he shows me love. “And that’s a wrong attitude altogether. I didn’t even know what I needed nor how to communicate it to my husband. So we would get into arguments. And that would lead into “make up sex” Which is extremely unhealthy. It’s very damaging. We are told by unknowledgeable people, “yeah well when you get in a fight, you have make up sex. “No that’s not good! Stop that! I’m not saying don’t make up with your spouse and then have sex. I’m saying the ladder is an unhealthy cycle. Better to have love and respect and meet each other‘s love languages and love the other spouse in the way that they understand love and then enjoy sex! Because who doesn’t want to have sex with their spouse when their love tank is completely full and their depositing love units! Woowoo! 😁 I mean what turns me on most and makes me want to be intimate with my husband is when he loves me in the way that I understand love. And it is attractive to him when I love him in the way that he understands love. What is love for me is not love for him in the same way. So we have to communicate that to the other spouse, “Honey what is love to you? “That’s what turns me on as a wife and is attractive to me! We love our spouses in the way that they understand love. As long as it’s godly of course. Don’t introduce porn into your marriage. You can kiss your marriage Goodbye. The church also has to be more trained and more careful because the church over the years has thrown out Bible verses about wives be quiet and submit to abusive husbands thus totally abuse enabling and encouraging the wife to submit even when the husband is cheating or abusive. “ just love him into the kingdom. “And while I believe that, God does tell some wives to do this and husbands a lot of times being silent encourages more abuse. And that is evil! And vice versa women do it to their husbands. That’s not love. So the church needs to do more research and up their game. The Bible tells us what to do but a lot of times we’re not taught “how “to do it. That’s why marriage therapy, especially pre-marriage therapy is extremely important! My husband and I have been married over 20 years and only just now figuring this out and praise God teaching our kids early on! Trauma, broken homes, fatherless homes, and divorce is so rampant that a lot of times when you go into a marriage you don’t even know how to treat your spouse. I think it would prevent divorces if we only understood the difference between men and women And to allow each other “to complain to one another. “ Jimmy Evans and his wife Karen Evans on youtube are excellent along with the book “his needs her needs. “By Dr. Harley, the book boundaries by Dr. cloud and Dr Townsend. We go into marriage with expectations and we get disappointed and we get divorced because we are not taught this stuff. Like Derek said, “you have to put in the work. “ We are taught to go to college and to get educated, but who teaches us that if we would put more time and effort in learning about our spouse, being open and vulnerable in communication, allowing each other to complain and spend more time trying to have better marriages than playing games or scrolling through media or whatever Our marriages would become sizzling hot! Thank you Derek and Justin for talking about feelings and emotions and how important they are. Thank you to your wives and family for supporting you because I know that that can be a difficult job being away from their spouses at times. God made husbands and wives differently and that’s good and OK. We as spouses have to understand that just because we have different opinions than our spouse doesn’t mean that that’s a problem. It should be celebrated. God gave us emotions and their neither good nor bad. They are like a fever sort of they tell us something about what’s going on inside of us. It’s so important we’re able to discuss honestly and with vulnerability to our spouse without them being angry at us. We need to create safe places and be best friends again. Spouses forget to be best friends! When we’re dating, we’re on our best behavior and our best friends when we get married what happens to that? It doesn’t have to end. It should get better and better and the arguments less than less. Anyway, I’m sorry that this is so long. I just want to say that I’m a huge fan of Jstu my family and I we love you all and your family and we pray for you all all the time! You’re doing a great job for the Lord! My point of putting this is to hopefully encourage spouses to encourage Derek and Justin to continue on as wonderful men of God! I am very honored and proud to be your sister in Christ! God bless you and lots of love Sarah G -Kentucky
