Marriage Puzzle
Marriage is a lot like putting together a brand new puzzle. You see the picture on the box and think "I can do that!" or "That would be fun to put together." But once you open the box you realize how much work is involved in turning over all the pieces, finding the edges and what fits in the middle. In marriage, you are constantly turning over new pieces to find out where they go. We'll be talking about our marriage in an attempt to pass along any wisdom we can to others. We hope you'll join us on the journey where together we'll work on marriage, one puzzle piece at a time.

In episode 106, the second installment of our Q&A series on pornography and solo intimacy, we dig into some of the toughest questions couples wrestle with but rarely say out loud.
Does adult content quietly reshape what we expect from sex with our spouse — and can it chip away at attraction over time? Is pornography a bridge that draws a couple closer, or a wall that keeps them apart? And when it comes to toys or adult co...
Is watching pornography cheating, a harmless outlet, or a destructive addiction? In this episode, we tackle one of the most polarizing topics in marriage: solo intimacy vs. shared intimacy, and what happens when one spouse initiates and the other rejects.
We ask (and debate) the hard questions:
- Is it healthy to choose solo satisfaction over your spouse when you're in the mood?
- Does one spouse's rejection of intimacy justify the ot...
