Physical (but NON-sexual) intimacy in marriage can be really challenging thing for a couple to navigate. Lack of physical intimacy can often be a stumbling block for one or the other partner in the marriage and can tempt us into thinking all kinds of horrible things about our spouse. As Peter commands us in 1 Peter 3:7 - we are to live with our spouse "in an understanding way". The area of physical intimacy in marriage gives us ALL sorts of opportunity to live this out practically. Let's get into that!

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. So which takes precedent? Our responsibilities or our rights? How you answer that says everything you need to know about the direction of your marriage. Let's get into that!

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!

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.
