wow, years ago it was MARRIAGE that tamed men because the pastor would say WE PRONOUNCE YOU MAN AND WIFE: later when we changed it to husband and wife, is when we went downhill, women cant even find a decent man to marry sometimes–we need to bring back ‘man & wife’ and also introduce couples as Mr. and Mrs. Husbands Name, even if wife has her own business….this was for the MEN not the WOMEN or else men get lazy…..thats my rant

WOW…..sex parties are ORGIES!!! just as in anal sex is SODOMY!! (even among married couples)…..I even believe that porn is responsible for pedophilia, even if the perpetraitor wasnt molested him/herself…I guess GOD has to do something before we become enamored with BESTIALITY as normal……DIOS MIO..Mark keep up the good work with your crazy self. Christians are always calling it fornication…I dont like it but screwing is a better word, it hits HOME…Fornication sounds foreign

I for one KNOW that men do NOT have bio clocks the same as women…If the guy is healthy, he could reproduce: my grandfather was 62 when he had my uncle and my husband has 5 daughters 32 years apart and all are healthy–I have the youngest one

Have you seen youtube? they are trying to BRING BACK THE CORSET AGAIN—–besides WHERE ARE THE DADS? I couldnt go out without a bra in the 1970s, when the clothes wouldnt allow you to wear a bra…my dad would get UPSET!!

Mark Gungor sounds a little like don Knotts—dont you think? besides a man cannot have vaginal sex with his wife for 6 weeks after childbirth…..Like i said again, when guys do that they are almost HOMOSEXUALS even if they are not..I;m glad you said masturbation trains your body NOT TO ORGASM——-BTW I CANT BELIEVE MARRIED WOMEN WILL DO THIS!!!

I’m worried about Mark Driscoll: if he said anal sex is OK!! (pastors have fell for adultery)——-I hope he doesn’t have bisexual tendencies himself and this is why homosexuals have so many diseases!!==I like Mark Driscoll too BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS coming from a STRONG CHRISTIAN PASTOR

PLEASE do not minimalize the affects of a miscarriage. No it wasn’t a full grown child but in my heart she was my child and just like my other children she has a place still in my heart. This miscarriage almost destroyed my marriage!!! We had three healthy children when I lost our little girl at 4months along. Afterwards I went into a deep depression, I checked out of life temporarily. You are absolutely correct that people in the church don’t know how to respond. I/we were the ones who opened up our church a little bit. My husband and I sat in the front row the first Sunday afterwards and we CRIED as we worshipped the Lord. As children’s ministry leaders people were watching and we just made it clear we were hurting and needed prayers and hugs! But, in time we’d be fine. But, I just had a hard time and I was a strong Christian, still am. Please give grace to those who don’t handle death as well as you. Yes, I agree those who 3, 4, 5, 6 years later are in deep grief probably need counseling. But grief/healthy grief can take 6 months to a year! I lost my mother 1 year after losing my father and 1 year after getting married, talk about rough!!! I had also checked out temporarily when that happened but God was faithful in using others to love me back to life. People need to grieve when life is lost whether that baby is inside or outside our body it was/is and always will be in our hearts!!! I have 5 children, four here and one angel in heaven hanging out with my parents waiting for the rest of us!!!

I have a question that I really need help with. I divorced my ex-husband 12 years ago, when my children were 1, 3, and 5 years old. I remarried 6 years ago. After watching Courageous with my family, my 12 year old daughter decided to put a picture of her biological dad (who she talks to and sees on a sporadic basis, no regular schedule in the past 7 years) and a picture of me and her dad on her nightstand. I said, “Your Dad (stepdad) won’t like that picture of me and him displayed. She answered, “I love both of my dad’s and I don’t know why it matters, you are not with him anymore but you two are still my parents.” I understand this logic and I can’t even relate to the person in that picture taken 11 years ago, but my husband (the man raising my 3 kids as his own) does not want to have that picture in his house. My daughter doesn’t know about this dilemma between us. What is the right thing to do?

As a wife whose husband has pressured her into anal sex, I cannot AGREE WITH YOU MORE on your comments. It IS gross, it IS painful, and I HATE it. You are also correct on the reasons why my husband craves it occasionally…lots of masturbation and sexual partners before me. (He’s my “one and only.”)

I mostly refuse, butt (ha ha) have submitted every couple of years. I will NEVER AGAIN say yes to this.

Thank you for your thoughts and your comments.

Love your shows…

Hi Gungor Crew,
I have been listening to you for at least 3 years. i was listening to your podcast from January,6,2011 and some lady that had been to see you and had watched your dvd’s. ask whats next and you told them to live their christian lifes… i think that was the best way to put living life as a married person. i had been married at 19 years old. that marriage ended, 13 years later in the death of my husband from a medical illness. in that marriage i had been though a wide variety of crazy. FROM DRUG ADDICTION, TO MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE AND MENTAL ILLNESS. i was raise in a christian household , he wasn’t… we didnt have god in our relationship and it was rough. well going on i am now married again, in a wonderful christian relationship with a wonderful man ( don’t get me wrong hes a normal man…) but i wanted to thank you all for the show you have on the radio. we have ups and downs in our relationship. i alway listen to you guys at night ( in my house its called” GUNGOR TIME” ) because my husband works 3rd shift .so because of his schedule and 3 teenagers, we have limited couple time together. after listening to you 3 giving advice to others i am different in my own relationship. we have gotten to the point cutting fire wood or doing yard work together has become our quality time. i just think if people want to keep their relationships going and continuing in a good place GOD has to be #1 but just having something you and your spouse can do together even if it is just going out and cutting some fire wood to keep your family warm it’s time i get to spend in such a messed up schedules. i have girl friends that think i am crazy for loving that time. i believe you have to take time where it is possible, what do you all think? i wanted to thank you for your company and advice you give and giving me things to think and pray about as i am ready to lay down to sleep. i have not read your books or seen your dvd’s but i am hoping to order them soon.

you guys have touch my life and i thank god for giving you all wonderful voices to do so!!!!

Putting God at the center of your marriage is that you both love and respect God enough to “want” to spend time with Him. Also, if you both do not love God over the other, you will not be able to love yourself or the other when times get tough. The husband has to love God first before he can love himself and then pass God’s love, protection and security on to his wife. The wife has to love God first so that she can then submit and respect her husband.

When Mark says in his announcer voice “Crazy Stories in the News,” he should play a sound effect of the old news teletypes, “dit dit dit, dit dit dit, dit dit dit” at least as you start reading the first story. That would add to the funny.

I agree, she was wrong to have married him if she had that strong a feeling about smoking.

You missed the point.

The point was he is HIDING IT!

She needs to sit down with him and talk about the reasons why he is smoking, how his hiding it is making her insecure and untrusting.

THEN they can move on to discuss how he might relieve his stress in other ways.

Let her know that her always being on his case is not going to force him to quit. It will make it worse.

He also needs to be mature enough and a strong enough leader to know that he SHOULDN’T be hiding it!

For the parents wondering if it is wrong to withhold information about their past:

If there was such a thing as a lie of ommission, than God is WAY GUILTY. See Exodus 3:18; 1 Samuel 16:2; Isaiah 48:7-8; Matthey 13:17; John 16:12 and all the verses with ‘mystery’ in the New Testament

A thought for the man whose wife doesn’t want any more kids.

The ultimate test of whether your motives are right or not is to ask yourself this. When I stand before Jesus on Judgement Day and He asks me why I cut off His ability to send me more children, will He buy my answer?

I wasn’t able to listen live so I couldn’t call in. I still wanted to comment on the grape issue. I agree with the mom for this one reason – badly behaving children in restaurants, which I 100% blame on the parents. These days, children whine and holler and make a mess and run around the restaurant generally making the experience miserable for everyone because, I firmly believe, they are not properly taught how to behave at home. Kids need to learn how to sit patiently and calmly while waiting for supper. Now, if parents don’t want to teach this at home, fine; just stay out of restaurants until your unruly children learn to behave. Not only is this extremely unpleasant for other patrons (by the way, it’s rude to let your kids act like hellions), it is dangerous to allow children to run around the restaurant because parents seemingly refuse to teach them to sit and behave at the dinner table. At 1, it is a lesson the children should be learning.

Thank you for this podcast…especially the last segment. I was one of those clueless wives with 3 small children who didn’t “control” her husband when he was going out. I would just say “You are damaging our marriage….stop”…but of course he didn’t listen…over the years, resentment built and we disconnected. I still loved him and “accepted” the life. After the kids grew up and left, he had an affair that I found out about (maybe there were more before). I finally had him leave. He is now wanting to return. I do still love him and am planning to take him back with the understanding that there is any infidelity again, we are done. I know if that happens, I will be very sad, but understand that I cannot stay in a marriage if there is no respect and mutual commitment. I believe in the marriage vows…and this has been the worse…but I will try to work it out. Lots of counseling and taking a leap of faith. But I am now a butt kicking woman with a gentle heart…Please continue to give advice on this matter as I do listen every day!

Scientifically, the article may be accurate to an extent, as someone who works in clinical research, small animals such as hamsters and rats are usually used in the study of new drugs before it is tested in humans because they have simial metabolic activities in very small factors.

The email at the end of this show really touched off a nerve, I have someone who is only 20 years old and doing the EXACT same thing. Still married to her first husband, just seperated not divorced, with another boy and pregnant again by this other little idiot boy!!!! This is a perfect example of what happens when parents, hers, are selfish and break up and divorce, move back in together, use the kids as pawns for the fights, and have a dad that is friend instead of a dad. MAKES ME CRAZY!!!!!!
This is part of the reason I am going to lead a small group study of yours Mark, if I can stop this from happening to another young person, then it will be worth it!!!!!

I agree with Mark on the “diaper policy” however I know some churches say they do it because of the liability insurance for the church. Whether that is true or not, I don’t know, but it’s ridiculous. Men are not the only child abusers in the world, so to single them out is grossly unfair, not to mention the assumption that if you are a man, you are going to abuse children is just assinine!

Sad but true, your advice on crushing on pastors was right on the button! Won’t listen until too late! Also, the ‘diaper’ issue is going to be a problem for the Church for the foreseeable future; get used to it and protect the resources of each church through good policy. God forbid we go down the road of the Catholic Church. GOOD SHOW!

Really enjoy and appreciate what you have to say. There seem to be a lot of men in the UK who have become confused about being a man . . . .which confuses us women and your take on things is refreshing.

Have you an older single brother or cousin? ….*joke*!

I’ve been listening to you on-line after hearing the Focus on the Family recording of Marks presentation. I am enjoying your broadcastt for the most part. The part I have a problem with is the 7 reasons to date/marry a military man. Who’s opion was that? I’m sure there are men in the military that would fit the description based on your 7 reasons. However, those men were men of integrity before the jointed the military. They might become more couragous, but the military for the most part is taught to “Follow Orders”. My 1st husband was in the service for 3 years & it only reinforced his inability to make a decistion. The military is VERY hard on marriage. Pornography, Drinking, etc. is NOT frowned upon by most of those in charge. Most, not All. There is a lot of trouble with women wanting your husband just because they know he’s married. If a man does not have integrity & Biblical values it will be VERY unlikely to find it there. Please, Please, Please tell those single women out there so they won’t be deceived into thiking that’s their answer. Thank You!!

Hi Mark,

I agree with almost all of your stands on marriage, relationships, and dating. I am one of your fans. I just wanted to point out an error (if I understood you correctly) in the 11-04-2011 discussion on multiple wives.

Theoretically, the population will not increase or decrease depending of the number of wives per husband. Lets say in a polygynous relationship where a man has 5 wives, assuming if every wife were to have 3 kids, they would have 15 kids in total. Now, let says if each of those 5 women were in monogamous relationships instead, and were to have 3 kids each, the total number of kids that those women would still have hatched (pun intended) is 15 kids.

Be blessed Pastor and your friends

Multiple spouses? The places where the Old and New Testaments declare that a man (not men) shall cleave to his wife (not wives) and the two shall become one flesh...pretty much closes the poly-whatever door to Christians, as I read it. You agree? Thanks for another fine show.

Could the issue of the church forbidding its leadership from dating non-leaders possibly be their draconian response to a problem of authority abuse, someone in power preying on the vulnerable? “This will never happen again! No dating church members!” Blunt-force overreaction…just a theory.

Loved the show.

When you discussed the EM from the military wife, I thought about when my husband and I first got married – our work schedules were such that we only saw each other when we were asleep, except for Sundays. It was what it was, and we never thought about it. 7-8 years into our marriage, my husband changed jobs and now works the same schedule that I work. We had more difficulty adjusting to being around each other all the time than we ever considered having the first 7-8 years into our marriage. And let me just say that it was VERY difficult. But as soon we recognized that adjustments needed to be made, that we had to get used to being around each other more (I had to suck it up and give up control of the remote LOL), it got better. We adjusted because that’s what we had to do. You just have to make it work, and the first step is to have that heart attitude about it.

In reference to the discussion on being mad at God I heard Susan Isaacs on the Steve Brown Etc. show. She talked about her wrong view of God and how she realized after some counseling that she was a “golddigger” as wanting to be the bride of Christ. I think many in the church want Christ for the same reasons. Only the good and not the bad. Here is a link to the program she discussed this on.

There was so much truth in today’s episode.
Background: My husband and I have been married for almost 22 years. We met when I was 16 and he was 19, started dating a year later. Married when I was 22 and he was 25. After about a year of dating I started talking about “when we get married….” His mother was extremely perturbed and talked with us about it. “you are too young to get married!!” there was more but I don’t remember what else it was. I started crying, as I do when I am angry, (I hate this stupid female characteristic about myself), and she said the fact that I was crying showed that as further proof that I was too immature. Mark was in college at the time(ended up being a useless associates and bachelors degrees) and we should wait as she and Mark’s dad did getting married at 29 each. Just like you have stated, we were told to wait til marriage to have sex. We thought we were doing that by doing just about everything but vaginal sex(no anal sex, ICK!!!). Fast forward to 2011. Our 15 year old daughter is dating a 17 year old young man that we really like. We didn’t want her dating this young but also knew she would just sneak around if we didn’t allow it, thus probably making more mistakes. We do see these two as marriage material. They treat each other really well, are very sweet to each other etc. We have also been stating that once she is 18 she is free to marry if they are still together and crazy in love . We would do as you suggest and still support them in their schooling and I would not be against them living in our home. This is thanks to you!
You are right on about the imprinting thing too. (surprise, surprise) Since oral sex was part of our first experiences(we are each others one and only), the hubby almost always wants at least a little of it. Sometimes it drives me nuts but now I realize that it was my fault. Otherwise we truly enjoy each other.
Now to what you talked about on today’s show. My husband has asked for anal sex to which my statement is “if you even get near that hole you can kiss any sexual experiences from me GOOD BYE”. He knows that I would hold to that, and since guys named “Mark” tend to be great fans of sex he has not tried. I have heard that teens have anal sex when the girl has her period so that they don’t have to deal with that mess. ICK ICK ICK! I am glad you discussed this topic, as nasty as it is.

I am a wife who falls asleep on the sofa for the need of noise from the tv. I too am married to a guy who has to have complete silence. I’m waiting for the offer to put a tv in the bedroom. I am usually “out” within a half an hour and the tv could automatically shut off.

She may want to meet him half way with this option..still waiting for my compromise.

I agree with Mark on the discussion of getting mad at God, but I would like to add – while getting mad at God is never justified, God certainly is the safest place to get mad. After repentence, God will not hold it against you that you got mad at Him. He will forgive you and never bring it up again. I don’t know anyone else who would do that, whether the anger is justified or not. Also, a pastor in our church suffered the loss of his son. He shared that he had moments of asking God “Why?” He shared that God’s response was that he shouldn’t be asking why but rather should be rejoicing because his son was now in heaven.

Has anyone mentioned the similarities in the victim-attacker love story to the story of Dinah and Shechem in Genesis 34…before Simeon and Levi brought it to a grisly end, that is?

Mark said he hasn’t heard of anyone else talking about sexual imprinting..I have! Have you heard of Doug Weiss? He wrote a book called Sex, Men, and God, and it supports so much of what Mark teaches about masturbation, porn, etc.. If you haven’t read it, check it out!

Mark- I listened for the very first time to your webcast on 9/13 (your return from all of us here at Ramstein, Germany). I love your radio talk show website! I wanted to mention the name of the town that you were describing and how it had two brothers who found one pushing the other out the window and down the sheer cliff, only to have the surviving brother build a church into the cliffside as pentence for his sins. The name of the town is Idar Oberstein, which incidentally is also the birthplace of actor Bruce Willis! Betcha didn’t know THAT one!

Looking very forward to listening to future broadcasts here on the web and thank you again for such a memorable day at the Ramstein O-Club!

IS ORAL SEX OK WHEN YOU’RE MARRIED

Comment on 09-12-2011 by Jill

Hi Mark,

Let me begin by saying that I love your show, have many of your DVD’s, and that both my husband and I agree that your teachings have strengthened our marriage.

In today’s show you talked about premarital sex.
And I’d like to urge you to re-think about stating that teenage girls have to be the sex police, that this is their responsibility – or their role. It’s like saying, if the boys can get a girl to have sex, then it’s ok for them, but remains not ok for her. Otherwise, it’s like saying “she didn’t stop me, so it’s ok!” When, you yourself have talked about the consequences that men face when they are promiscuous!

Instead, I’d urge parents today to talk to both their sons and daughters. Have them understand the consequences, and have the parents and children understand where the responsibility truly lies.

I have a son, and his father and I fully intend to talk to him about abstaining as we would with a daughter.

Thanks,

Jill

Mark playing that song from “West Side Story” reminded me of that part in the movie “Grumpier Old Men” when Walter Mathau starts singing, “Maria. I just met a girl named Maria. And suddenly I see, she’s not the [bleep] I thought she’d be.” Funny!!

You are only fertile for 8 days a month at most. An egg survives for 24 hours after being released but occasionally 2 are released so you add another 24 hours. Sperm can last up to 6 days (under ideal conditions). There is something wrong with her NFP if she thinks she is only infertile a week out of every month.

Christians who claim a biblical opposition to “altering the body” are most likely using God’s commands to Moses in Lev. 19 and 21, prohibiting His people from making cuttings in their flesh for the dead and tattoos. The mix-up happens by failing to understand that God is forbidding them from adopting the ways, and consequently the sins, of the idol-worshipers. Assuming that ALL cuts are sinful forgets that God also gave His people the covenant of circumcision. The meaning of God’s Laws to Moses is still good today, don’t start down the road to sin (my paraphrase).

Thanks for a good repeat show.

Mark’s advice to the guy whose wife is always late reminded me of that episode of “Everybody Loves Raymond” when Ray left Deborah at home when she wasn’t ready on time. There was a whole to-do about when they were kids and their dad told them, AIS (a_s in seat) or you got left. Of course, it was hilarious when they all found out what Ray had done.

Listening to this particular show and wondering…if you have already made some mistakes as a woman…already “allowed” or tolerated some rude/mean behaviors from your husband…Is there a way to turn that around? I believe I was in the middle when we were dating, if I’m going to compare myself to society/women as a whole. We went very slowly and there were certain behaviors that I did not tolerate. However, others I did tolerate. For example, my husband can be very mean and he can also be very cold & tune me out. Is there ANYTHING I can do from this point…?

Thought you might be interested in this short video from TED…

http://www.ted.com/talks/zimchallenge.html

This guy talks about the internet imprinting on the male mind with computer games, porn, etc. Indicating that it is making the modern male unable to have relationships w/women due to the high arousal state they are always in from gaming & watching porn. No solutions, he just wanted to alarm the audience so they’d start thinking about the problem & look for solutions.

To Mark the guest, please don’t get discouraged. There is the right woman out there for you please don’t give up. I enjoyed how you put “they are single for a reason” & will use that line when I get questioned about being single still. I also go to a small church & I make up the young adult group too at age 27, lol. I will be praying for you & that you will meet the right woman. Keep going forward just knowing that there is at least one man that is out there w/o baggage & has a career ect. Thanks for the encouragement.
God bless

Mark is the first and only person I have ever heard say that the fact that I don’t like certain behavior is reason enough for me to say “stop it!” I was taught that what the rest of society says about something is what counts. I always knew that my husband can’t hit me (he doesn’t) but that was because society says spousal abuse is bad. Society says that porn is ok, but until Mark, the fact that I don’t like it was never enough for me to tell my husband it’s unacceptable. No one ever told me that I alone can be a reason to tolerate or not tolerate certain behavior (within reason of course). The first time I heard Mark tell a listener, “Well, what do YOU think, dear?” I was shocked. Sadly, I think there are a lot of people out there who never heard this either.

My guess is that the girl does not know her Catholic faith well. For such Catholics converting to Protestantism is common, but there are many moves the other way round, as it is shared during the Journey Home shows at EWTN channel. Both the Catholic girl and the Protestant guy may find great treasures if they learn more about the Catholic faith – and mon would be happy ) Teaching on marriage rocks in the Catholic church!

In reference to your comments on the requirement for drinking such and such a quantity of water every day, I thought you might find the following article interesting (I can't vouch for how reliable it is, but it makes sense): Medical Myths from the British Medical Journal. The article says this idea of X amount a water a day may date to a study from the '40s that suggested people need about 2.5 liters of liquid a day, but most people leave off the part of the study that says the majority of that liquid comes from the food we eat.

School IS CRUEL to boys. I have 2 boys and it only took 1st grade for me to realize they would DESTROY my sons there.

That’s why I’ve homeschooled them ever since. My oldest will be a senior this year, he loves the Lord, he’s saving sex for marriage (he’s seen your teen videos and parts of the marriage one that we thought appropriate), he’s courting a fantastic Christian girl his age and he’s the man God intended him to be.

My second son is almost 12 but still a little boy. He hasn’t been contaminated by the culture of public school. Next year his public school friends will be going to mdidle school but I can say with confidence “My son will NEVER go to middle school” and be better for it.

God Bless!

Love your show today. I don’t want to ruin your day or your hopes of getting rich but there already exists a show in which cute girls face the challenge of dedorkifying complete dorks, and makes them datable material. It’s called the Beauty and the Geek. But still (there is hope) if you would be the host of the show it would be a total success.

Regarding the man who chains his wife’s car–that kind of control doesn’t happen overnight. For the 25 years of marriage he has more than likely been controlling more than she realizes and also, men like this don’t start off this bizarre. It is a form of abuse and she should run for the hills, it will only get worse unless he/they get help!!!

If you have listened to other shows where infidelity has occurred, Mark often says they have the biblical reason to divorce but that doesn’t mean you HAVE to. In this particular situation, based upon the information we received, it seemed as though it was salvageable. Mark’s opinion was not intended as a blanket statement in all adultery situations, nor did he tell the woman she had to stay or that she should stay. It really is on a case by case basis. Also note that kids suffer greatly in divorce…according to studies even more so.

I listened to the show today and you talk about how the lady after 20 yrs should stay with her husband who basically cheated on her their entire marriage.
I have been with my husband for 8 and he has done the same and I have been trying to stay but you speak like a man who has never experineced infidelity and not to mean anything rude until u endure that pain and the death of the marriage as you knew it and trust me it is exactly like grieving the death of a loved one- the spouse you knew and loved you honestly can never know the struggle one faces for the kids or not to stay or to go.
I have stayed for my kids and my kids do suffer great pain as well for my spouses poor decisions so is staying really better for them?
I mean no disrespect to you or your co-hosts but trust me staying and I am still in that group may not be the best or even the right thing to do.

I had an enlightening thought. Western culture is always promoting the idea of finding one’s “soul mate” or “the One” for you. I just realized that the only “One” for anyone, or our true “soul mate” is of course Jesus. It is a God size hole that we try to find a mate to fill. Obviously, a person will fall short of that, and then the false conclusion is that the relationship was wrong for us. DUH! It is only God that is “the One” for each of us. If you look at it like an ice cream sundae, God is all the ice cream, the nuts, the sauces and our mate is only the cherry on top. God should satisfy our soul, our mate is an extra bonus – not someone to “complete” us. We need to stop trying to make our mates do God’s job. Thanks Mark!

WE LOVE DEBBIE GUNGOR!

(By “we”, I mean “I for one”, though I’m sure many fans would agree. By “love” I mean, “hold in respectful admiration and certainly not anything improper”. By “Debbie” I mean Pastor Mark’s beautiful and butt-kicking covenant bride whose no-nonsense but cheerful presence on the show today made a delightful balance to Pastor’s irrepressible “outside the nothing-box” energy. Here’s hoping for more of her voice in the future and God speed your journey home.)
