Mark and Debbie start the show off by looking at a study debunking the myths of divorce. They answer an email from a listener who found out via a blog that her husband isn’t attracted to her anymore, which leads to a discussion on narcissistic people who spiritualize their selfishness. Mark explains how broken the screening system is in the dating process, and the trouble that people end up in because of it. He talks about the fears of women and how those fears keep wives from doing anything about their badly behaving husbands. They finish the show by, once again, talking about what submission in marriage is really all about.
