As we all know... there is typically a higher sexed partner and a lower sexed partner in every marriage.

This reality often leads to hurt... confusion... misunderstanding... and resentment within the context of the marriage.

THIS EPISODE IS INTENDED PRIMARILY FOR THE LOWER SEXED PARTNER IN THE MARRIAGE.

In this episode Tony explores several nuances of the tension that's created when partners have differing sexual appetites... including...

* How the lower sexed partner automatically... by default... assumes control of the sexual frequency of the relationship... whether they want to or not.

* How the lower sexed partner has the position of the "higher ground" when it comes to sex in the relationship.

* How the lower sexed partner... in a sense... has more work to do in order to create sexual equilibrium in the relationship.

* Why the lower sexed partner is a "really big person" if they're willing to move toward their partner sexually.

Although these challenges can be significant... they are not insurmountable... and with God's help it's possible for a couple to "close the gap" that's existed between them sexually... as they become healthier than they've ever been before.

Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 5:21

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3

Nate Larkin's wife caught him... all alone... in his office... watching porn in the middle of the night.

They had a long talk that night... and Nate's wife forgave him.

But then... several days later... she found a condom on the bathroom floor of their home that Nate couldn't quite explain.

That's when Nate's wife sat him on the edge of their bed... and said the words that would change his life.

I still love you... but I don't like you.

I don't trust you.

I don't respect you... and I don't think you can ever change.

Nate Larkin had gone to seminary... studied for the ministry... pastored a church... and struggled deeply for many years with his secret sex addiction.

When his wife spoke those fateful words to him... he knew he had to change because he was about to loose everything that meant the most to him in life.

It was only then Nate found his way to a secular recovery group... and slowly began to learn the ideas and concepts that would genuinely change his heart... his life... his marriage... and even the expression of his sexual gift.

In these 3 episodes (102-104) Nate shares the story of his amazing journey from sexual bondage and addiction to sexual healing and freedom. 

It's an amazing story... and you will be blessed!

Nate Larkin is an author, speaker, and founder of The Samson Society - a ministry that facilitates authentic mens groups around the country toward the purpose of sexual healing and freedom.

Men often express themselves through a variety of clandestine sexual exploits such as...

* Internet Pornography

* Chat Rooms

* Cyber Sex

* 1-900 Numbers

* Strip Clubs

* Sexualized Massage

* Prostitutes

* Affairs

* And so forth and so on.

Because most men are engaging in these activities "secretly"... they often assume they're getting away with it... and that nobody will ever know.

Men often think to themselves...

What can it hurt if nobody knows what I'm doing?

Unfortunately... what these men don't realize is that it's impossible to enjoy the benefits of sexual sin without paying the corresponding price.

Don't be deceived.

* If you throw a rock in a pond... there will be a splash!

* If you jump in a lake... you will get wet!

* If you indulge in sexual sin... you will pay a price!

In this series of four episodes (98-101) Tony shares 13 principles as he explores "The Deception of Sexual Sin".

7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked.  A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.  Galatians 6:7-8
