Marriage Radio: Helping Your Marriage

  Everyone had an opinion about marriage. What you should do, what you should not do, and how you should do it.Unfortunately not everyone has the best advice when it comes to marriage. And even worse, some of the advice is actually more destructive to marriage than helpful.

There are countless philosophical, religious, business, and self-help books that all point to one age-old wisdom: If you believe something can happen, it will. If you doubt success, it won't come. You hear many well meaning Christians say, "Have faith. Believe God will save your marriage and He will." But...is that really how it works? Well, kind of... ...however, there is a whole lot more to it than that.  Join us this Tuesday night at 9 pm CST for this often asked about and controversial topic.  Are you letting faith guide you, or is your fear prohibiting you from saving your marriage? Listen in at marriageradio.com or by calling in at 646-378-0424.  Talk to you tonight!

It's called the LovePath. It's the process people go through as they fall in love.If you are in love or have ever been in love, you went through it. If your spouse is in love with you, s/he went through it as well.When people follow the LovePath, they fall in love whether they mean to or not. When they vacate or violate the LovePath, they fall out of love whether they mean to or not.Is there a way to keep on the LovePath? To keep falling in love over a lifetime? Yes.In this program Joe Beam and Kimberly Beam Holmes explain the first step on the LovePath...the step that many people forget over time and, as a result, either start falling out of love with their spouses OR their spouses start falling out of love with them. Some have gone further than that. They are not at the "starting" point of falling out of love. Love is dead. (Either their's or their spouse's love.)By understanding this first phase of falling in love...and how to use it over your entire lifetime...you can stay in

You may have seen the statistics. One in five marriages are in the "no sex" category. That means they have sex with each other ten times a year or less. Another 15% are in the "low sex" category, which means they have sex with each other 11 to 25 times per year. That means 35% (or we can just round that to one out of three) married American couples between the ages of 18 and 59 make love to each other twice a month or less, and the majority of those are once a month or less.Notice that these aren't folks in the nursing home.Does making love this little have an effect on a marriage? On sexual health? On potential affairs? On use?Yes to all of the above.In this program, Joe Beam discusses how sex in a marriage is directly affected by the relationship the couple have. More than that, he discusses how to increase both the frequency of lovemaking and the enjoyment that both husband and wife can gain from it.For those couples where one spouse wants to do something sexually that the other is
