On today’s show Mark, Diane and Ross have a lengthy discussion on the article “Men getting access to sex earlier” and the ramifications to women and our culture. Mark also has a long answer to a question from a listener regarding her grown children who are living with their future spouses.
On today’s show Mark discusses where the line is on using “sex toys” and such, what to do when sex gets boring, when to intervene in another couple’s marriage if you see trouble, what to do with a husband who ogles women, sacrificing your lifestyle for ministry, setting priorities and balancing making money vs. investing in your family, and how premarital sex clouds your vision.
