Sex is an emotionally charged subject and one Christians seem to tiptoe around. Our goal is to address, in a tactful manner, some of the questions we get on a regular basis about sex after marriage, and hopefully encourage you to grow, heal, and mature the physical intimacy in your marriage.

042: Elisha Opens Up About Something For The First Time

Elisha is sharing what he learned at a Man Camp he went to this weekend! This message is so encouraging to any Christian!

So . . . we’re sharing a life-long dream with you today. Our goal is that these will encourage and help you as much as they have helped us. Thank you for inspiring us to write these, encouraging us through the process, and supporting this dream! You guys are such a blessing! Click HERE for …

Join us for a chatty episode, where we talk through some of the low points of last week, mention what we’re feeling now, and answer some personal questions.

Here are some things we are actively doing to stop our downward spiral before it gets out of control. Hopefully it encourages you and gives you an idea or two!

Sometimes we get in a rut of “being married” but not growing in our marriage. And sometimes I like it that way. When marriage is smooth sailing, we often want to avoid digging below the surface because a difficult topic will inevitably get stirred up. But Elisha and I have also found that consistently digging …

At first I thought I didn’t hear him correctly. BE your dream home? Didn’t Elisha mean, “create your dream home? Make your dream home? Have your dream home?” Turns out, he meant all those things, and I love this vision he painted for me of BEING our dream home. I hope it encourages you in …

We have never felt a lack of community. However, that doesn’t mean Elisha and I have always been apart of rich, healthy, community. Today we’re talking about practical ways we created community growing up, how we found community outside of our family circles as newly weds, and how we’re currently cultivating community in our new …

Today we’re diving into two main reasons why husbands can be emotionally distant, how to encourage them to open up emotionally, and some practical ways a man can be emotionally present for his wife! With a lot of personal stories, and some good laughs, this is one of our favorite podcasts so far!

Does God want wives to be doormats? Today we’re talking about Ephesians 5:23 and what God-honoring submission does and does NOT look like in a marriage. In the twenty-first century, submission can be a sticky topic, but we believe the danger of this passage is because it has been twisted by culture, the devil, or …

Today we’re answering all your questions! (Well, maybe not all of them, but some of the ones you asked over on Instagram!) Some questions we’re answering!

This is a pretty personal episode about a pretty big topic. Today we are sharing about the first time we prayed to accept Christ’s gift of Salvation, and when we later started taking full responsibility for our relationships with our Savior! Our hope is that this episode encourages you in your Faith and gives you …

We are praising God for Louis Martin entering our lives this week! He was born at 37 weeks, and weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces at 1:45am June, 22nd! Now, as the parents of three children, the subject of Generational faith has been more on our minds than ever. Today we’re diving into how we feel …

Today we are sharing two of our favorite tools to learn from past mistakes (or awesome experiences) and use that knowledge to make our future better! The two tools we’re sharing in this podcast are ones we use often, to learn, grow, and unite our marriage. The History Reflector . . . the key to …

Some of us are dreamers. We have all the ideas–castles in the sky that blow everyone’s imaginations out of the water. But when we come down from our 30,000 foot view we aren’t sure what step to take on solid ground. Some of us are doers. We take control of each day. But one day …

You know those people that are further ahead in marriage, family, and life? But they aren’t just further ahead in years. They are wiser, smarter, more seasoned, and you just want to soak up their wisdom like a sponge! Aaron and Jen Smith are like that to us, and we are so blessed to have …

You probably know Elisha has been on the job search for about a month now. Naturally, this created a rollercoaster of emotions, conversations, and new thought-processes surrounding potentially moving away from the apartment we’ve called “home” our whole married lives (which hasn’t been super long . . . but is still dramatic, okay?

Elisha is the fourth born of 10 kids. I’m the eldest of 11. We get asked a lot, “how did your parent’s cultivate your relationships with your siblings?” and now that we’re parents, we are asking the same questions! We decided to go back and take a look at some of the biggest decisions our …

In this episode of the Now That We’re A Family Podcast, Elisha and I are talking all about being single. We get so many questions from friends and awesome single followers on what being single should look like . . . and we don’t have the answers, haha. BUT, God does, so in this episode …

For this entire episode, we refer to a tool @thegiant5guy taught us a couple years ago. It’s been an invaluable resource for stepping back when we don’t like what’s happening in our lives, but we also don’t know what to change. “Stop. Go. Grow!” enables you to get out of the foggy day to day …

WOW! What a privilege to interview Isaac and Angie Tolpin from courageousparenting.com. Katie and I were encouraged by not only their heart for families, but also their insightful tips on how to apply parenting strategies on a daily basis. Disciplining for behavior modification while still cultivating and nurturing a soft heart of submission in our …

Elisha and I go wayyyyy back. So people assume we established a friendship. Started dating. And got married. But really, we got that backwards. We got married and then became best friends. It’s hard to believe we knew each other for over a decade before we even had our first conversation (if that’s what you …

Do you want a roadmap to meeting your spouses’ needs? We sure do! This last weekend, we went to a marriage workshop where my dad, @thegiant5guy, shared on the popular book “His Needs, Her Needs.” But what really stuck with us, was his practical application. We don’t just want a good message, we want to …

Elisha: Sex is still a priority. People say if you want to see what someone prioritizes, look at their calendar and bank statement. In other words, we give our time and money to what we value most. I am grateful Katie and I had wise and faithful council in our life prior to having our …
