The Hump Day 90 - Is it ever okay for a husband to go to the strip club?
Wednesday Mar 12, 2025
Wednesday Mar 12, 2025
It is never okay for a husband to go to the strip club.
A husband's trip to a strip club is a betrayal of trust and a violation of the sacred bond of marriage. It is not okay, and it is never acceptable.
A strip club is a place where women are objectified and degraded. It is a place where men go to pay for the attention and affection that they should be getting from their wives.
When a husband goes to a strip club, he is telling his wife that she is not enough. He is telling her that he is not satisfied with the love and intimacy that they share.
This is a devastating message for a wife to receive. It can damage her self-esteem and make her feel insecure in her marriage - and it is a sin before the Lord.
If you are a husband who is considering going to a strip club, please reconsider. Think about the pain that you could cause your wife. Think about the damage that you could do to your marriage.
It is not worth it.
Instead, focus on strengthening your marriage. Spend time with your wife. Tell her how much you love and appreciate her. Show her that she is the only woman you need.
Your marriage is too precious to risk. Don't let a trip to the strip club undermine the foundation of your marriage.

Who Are You People?
Nathan & Andrea Warnock were married December 17, 2005. After spending the first 8 years of their marriage doing everything that they could think of to ruin their marriage (Don't believe me? Watch this, they finally decided to stop running from the Lord and submit fully to His plan of marriage (For that story, watch this).
Shortly after the Lord began His work in Nathan & Andrea's marriage, He called them to stand up for His plan in the marriages of others. That was over 10 years ago! Since then, Nathan & Andrea have had the privilege of working closely with dozens of couples who are dealing with everything from dating issues to engagement questions to crisis within their marriage. Throughout all of these situations, Nathan & Andrea try to always bring these couples back to one thing - the never failing, peace giving Word of God. Within those sweet words lie the freedom and joy that we are all looking for in our marriages and our families.
Nathan & Andrea have five children - Jaxon, Rhyan, Ryker, Lincoln, and Easton. Andrea homeschools the "school-agers" and does her best (which is exceptional) to corral the others. Nathan runs a business with his parents, coaches baseball for the boys, and does nerdy stuff with his friends.
