So often Nathan and Andrea have found that couples tend to find a point in their marriage where things are "good" or feel that their marriage has "arrived". In this episode, Nathan and Andrea talk about the calling upon each of us in marriage to reject this idea and work continuously towards deeper levels of intimacy in marriage. Nathan and Andrea develop the analogy of the "Intimacy Table" as a picture for the importance of seeking all four areas of intimacy - emotional, physical, spiritual, and sexual - continuously in our marriages.

In this episode, Nathan and Andrea take a look at Paul's encouragement to people in Corinth to remain single as Paul was at the time. Interesting that Paul refers to the single life AND the married life BOTH as gifts from God. Why then is it so darn easy to think of them as something less than a gift? Let's get into that!

In this episode, Nathan and Andrea consider Paul's writing to us in 1 Corinthians 7:3-4 where Paul talks about our responsibility with regards to our spouse's "conjugal rights" and the authority that we have over our spouse's body.

Today Nathan and Andrea dig into one of the most insidious killers of marriage and relationship to ever plague mankind - unforgiveness. But today they talk not about an individual's own unforgiveness, but rather the way that unforgiveness can be picked up by those around us and carried for generations - even after the original people have long since forgiven each other! It's Biblical! Let's get into that!

Bonus footage from our trip to the Everglades!

Also, this video sets up our conversation on Marriage Monday about escaping the grind.
Enjoy!
