Art of Spousing

In this episode of "The Art of Spousing" podcast, hosts James and Lisa bring their unique perspectives to the table, discussing the complexities and joys of marriage and family life. We start off with a light-hearted reflection on our own experiences, setting the tone for an episode filled with warmth, humor, and insightful discussions.

They revisit a compelling Q&A session from a Re Engag gathering, focusing on pressing questions that resonate with many married couples. A significant part of the conversation revolves around the intricacies of nurturing intimacy in marriage, especially when balancing the demands of parenting. They introduce the concept of 'parent office hours,' a practical approach to carving out precious time for each other amidst the busy rhythms of family life.

Diving into the theme of trust and transparency, James and Lisa discuss the delicate balance of managing personal devices and friendships within a marriage. Emphasizing voluntary transparency over control, we share our thoughts on building a foundation of trust and openness in a relationship.

Addressing the often-misunderstood dynamics of parenting, they challenge the notion that children are a distraction to marriage. Instead, they explore how children can actually enrich the marital bond. We offer strategies for handling different stages of child development, emphasizing the impact on marital health and unity.

The conversation also covers the sensitive topic of setting boundaries with extended family and in-laws. James and Lisa stress the importance of prioritizing the marital relationship while maintaining respectful and healthy relationships with extended family members.

Lastly, they touch upon the importance of spiritual guidance in making major life decisions. James and Lisa highlight the need for unity and collaboration within marriage, especially when faced with significant choices.

The Art of Spousing podcast is more than just a conversation; it's an invitation to grow and thrive in your relationship.

In this episode James and Lisa have a conversation with Shaunti Feldhahn, co-author of the book "Secrets of Sex and Marriage." The episode tackles one of the most taboo topics in most relationships - Sex in marriage. Shaunti and her co-author, renowned sex therapist Michael Sytsma, spent three years and $120,000 on a research project involving interviewing over 5,300 people, leading to major surprises and aha moments. They identified the little things that make a big difference in making marriage sex work. The episode reveals how communication is crucial and how making people understand the differences in desire and addressing underlying issues can bring freedom and growth in a relationship. With the book designed to be read together, Shaunti believes that "Secrets of Sex and Marriage" can help couples understand each other better and feel validated.

"Communication is the elephant in the room - the topic we avoid because of its awkwardness. Despite having close friends, we rarely address it with them. It’s the only issue we never speak about, leading to the creation of myths and misunderstandings which guide our actions. If we don’t learn to communicate with our partners, these myths will keep us from true understanding."

Topics discussed:

How intimacy in marriage is the least talked-about topic

Research on the little things that make a big difference in making marriage intimacy work

Communication gaps and misunderstandings and how they impact intimacy

Understanding the differences in desire

Establishing signals or cues for willingness to engage in sexual activity

The church as a safe place for difficult conversations, and the creation of a curriculum on intimacy in marriage
