Is Your Orgasm an Idol?
Masturbation, fantasies, sex toys, desire, and intimacy are all roads to the orgasm. A good question is, "Which road is most traveled in your marriage?" An even better question is, "Why is that the road most traveled?" On this episode, we contemplate the effects our narcissistic society may have on our view of the orgasm and the possibility that it may be influencing us to idolize it. *PARENTAL ALERT: Adult subjects are discussed in this episode. We don't talk graphic details, but we do mention a few words that you might not be ready to explain to your innocent, yet curios children.

Jesus, The Cross, & Marriage
What do we do when we become offended with our spouse? How do we handle our will being crossed? Is there hope in the long, tough seasons when marriage has become grueling and we're grinding it out? On this episode, in honor of Easter 2023 and Holy Week (Passion Week), we look to Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on the cross as our example of true unity and commitment in marriage. There's so much more to all of this than just being right! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justin-garcia62/support

The One Where They Talk About Friends
When marriage is tough, it's easy to think, "We're the only ones going through this." That is simply NOT TRUE! Whether we know it or not, we are all going through similar things around similar times. On this episode, we talk about the importance of building a community of trusted friends to do life with. We all need strong, healthy people and marriages to lean on. It's refreshing to know that you're not the only ones struggling. It's even better to know that someone has been through it already and come out on the other side better because of it.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justin-garcia62/support

*Flashback* - Creating Intimacy
Intimacy is more than just the three letter word we think it means. There are deeper levels of intimacy that will even help enhance that three letter word, but it doesn't just happen on it's own. It takes intentionality and action on your part to create that closer bond. On today's episode, we look back on a previous episode Alejandra and I did on another podcast where we talked about creating intimacy in your marriage on a deeper level. *PARENTAL ALERT: Adult subjects are discussed in this episode. We don't talk graphic details, but we do mention that three letter word you might not be ready to explain to your innocent, yet curious children. Parental discretion is advised.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justin-garcia62/support

On this episode, we're talking about our last two take-aways from our picture of marriage out of Genesis 2:24-25. There's some real gold here that can help divorce-proof and affair-proof your relationship.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justin-garcia62/support
