XXXchurch: MENS BLOG
I was over in the Confessions section of the site today, and I read this post from a guy who’s in the middle of the fight of his life – a fight for his life.
He’s got a wife, two kids, and one more on the way – and yet he finds himself having been unfaithful to his wife and struggling with an addiction that has the potential to destroy everything that is dearest to him.
How do we get ourselves...
Beep.. beep... beep... 6:15am. The alarm on my phone just went off, time to tackle another day. The sun is up and it's peering through my drapes. The warmth of it reminds me that God has given me another day to live and breath out purpose. As my body begins to awaken so does my mind. Just as quickly as the promise of a new day swept in, so once again has my addiction. Now my mind races with...
I don’t know about you but I can come up with all kinds of reasons to act out. Got in a fight with my wife - look at some porn. Just lost a key client - chat on-line. Feeling lonely - flirt with the girl at the grocery store. How about this one! Just got a promotion - go home and masturbate!! Yes, even positive things that happen in my life can trigger my emotions and cause me to...
We are mistaken if we think sex equals love. Yes, it is an expression of love within a marriage founded on God. But it is not love. And any kind of sex outside of a marriage founded on God is not an expression of love, but merely a physical act.
But in order for a marriage to be founded on God, both the husband and the wife must be each individually in love with God more than each other. We...
Grooming your wife to go places in sex to fulfil your unrealistic sexual desires has got to be one of the most unhealthy risks a recovering sex/porno addict can take in regards to their recovery and to their marriage.
The air is thick, at this time of year, with 'Hallmark' romance and the expectation of sexual encounters of a surreal, special and almost fairytale nature. The often rushed act...
We join Jeff again this month talking about the struggles we as men deal with during a month of love. Jeff shares with us how to deal with the temptations during this season of love and how that looks.
Let's try to go beyond the typical Christian answer in this post. Typically a warning about emotional intimacy will describe some unsuspecting Christian couple who intended to stay pure but found themselves pregnant before marriage. Then it would give practical strategies to avoid ending up in that situation.
But the issue is deeper than merely avoiding the negative consequences of...
How Can I Think of Sex and Love with My Wife When I Got Those In My Face?
If you are a man who’s not a hermit and lives in this highly technical time it is safe to say that you have felt or heard this frustration before. Why is it, especially at this time of the year, does every advertisement you see seemingly include a hot barely clothed woman? Is it me or is it odd that the busty teen in a...
This can be a lonely time of the year.
Perhaps you’re single, and all the Valentine’s Day festivities rub salt in the wound. Or maybe you’re married, and your relationship with your wife is on the rocks; some of the loneliest people in the world are married. When you’re miles apart from your spouse it’s easy to withdraw into isolation… that steamy, dark place with the manure smell where lust...
Does My Wife Love Me or Find Me as Sexy as the Men in Those Romantic Books?
This may sound like a strange topic for a blog in the men’s section, I admit that. However, as we find ourselves in the “month for love” all sorts of questions surface regarding sex, romance, and relationships. Maybe you are in a healthy marriage … awesome! Maybe you and your wife don’t deal with issues of comparing...
