Desire is not the problem. God gave us (not just married couples) desire. It’s how we choose to honor God with this desire that makes all the difference. Today, we talked to Dr. Curt Thompson, MD and he shared some really interesting and profound insights into desire.

Did you know that 50% of our country’s children, over 25 million kids under 18, are growing up without a father figure in the home? It’s no coincidence that we find ourselves in a culture that’s at war with men — one that says “women don’t need men”.  👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Today, we talked to John Smithbaker, the author of Man Enough to Forgive, and the founder of Fathers in the Field. In this episode, we discuss how masculinity is a gift from God, the role of a present father, and how to heal the wounds of an absent father.    Resources: 2 EROS Conferences Left This Year!

There are 7 primal questions that affect people’s behavior, decisions, and relationships. Your primal question has to do with your early life. If you experienced deficiency or instability in a particular area, your primal question could be sparked by that. Or, if you experienced an over-abundance or over-affirmation in a particular area, that could be the cause of your primal question. People may make decisions and navigate relationships in a way that forces a ‘yes’ to their primal question, even if it isn’t in their best interest. Tune in to hear a deep dive into all 7 of these questions, and hit the link below to take the free assessment.  Resources: EROS Conference https://www.dearyoungmarriedcouple.com/eros Take the Primal Question Assessment!
