WARNING: Adult Content is Discussed in this episode. John Heinen and Devin Schadt discuss how to have meaningful conversations with your wife about sex. This is not an issue to take lightly and one that has caused the downfall of countless marriages. Sex has the ability to make a marriage great and holy, yet how often does it become an obstacle to true love and unity? Today, we talk about 7 points that are necessary to have beneficial communication with your wife on this issue. Most couples find this topic challenging to have, and since great marriages do not happen by accident, we want to provide you with tools to make this area of your marriage a place to grow in love and holiness. God has ordained this sacrament as the closest sign in the world of the mystery of Christ's love for His Church. Therefore, men, we must do our part to better live this out. 🔴 🔴 SPONSOR 🟠 Exodus 90 - START NOW FOR FREE - Click Here  Episode 136 - Lust, Sin, and How to Win - https://catholicgentleman.com/2023/11/lust-sin-and-how-to-win/ Episode 139 - What Women Don't Understand About Men - https://catholicgentleman.com/2023/12/what-women-dont-understand-about-men 00:00 Introduction to the Conversation on Sex 07:15 The Role of Sexual Union in Marriage 12:51 Setting the Right Goals for Conversations about Sex 18:21 Engaging in Non-Accusational Conversations 26:36 Expressing Sexual Needs with Kindness and Patience 34:50 Understanding Sexual Desire as a God-Given Gift 40:50 Communicating Sexual Needs Effectively 49:36 Addressing Lust and Its Challenges 52:50 Persistence in Marriage Conversations QUESTION OF THE WEEK: We love to answer your questions on the show so send them our way to podcast@catholicgentleman.com.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
